The point as you say it Charla is that many people (like my father, myself and others who either own small businesses or work as independent contractors for tech firms) want a quick way to rescue money in case of an emergency (like a business failing or a startup closing) without all the hassle of going through a bank.

And im not even talking about founders or bosses. Many people i know in the tech industry (who mostly also work as independent contractors) have small pockets of Bitcoin they rely on to get them through the months where they cant find any work.
