1) many of my guys fit the demographic you mentioned and I've never once had a guy turn away from booking a show because I don't accept bitcoins. It's simply not a demand amongst my customer base in any way. I've never even had a guy mention bitcoins to me as a preferred method of payment.

2) I don't understand the currency and neither do many of my best customers. After bitcoins people hit another forum I'm on I actually asked a few of my best regs if they ever use bitcoins. It was 'no' across the board. Rightly or wrongly, two of the more mature established guys immediately associated bitcoins with the Silk Road. Not exactly the image I want to put out there to potential new customers.

with that in mind, the idea of using something new to fulfill a need that personally I haven't found exists makes no sense to me.

is it weird to anyone that bitcoins people have been pushing bitcoins so heavily on diff forums lately? honestly that alone turns me off...I'm not interested in hype and it does make me wonder what the big push is all about. I don't really care cuz I'm not invested either way, it just doesn't inspire confidence

like I said though, to each their own. I wish chicas who do use bitcoins all the best and maybe if one day far down the line the currency becomes more widespread I'll change my mind. For now I just don't see the benefit.
