On: Newegg is now accepting Bitcoin

That's not true, it's cheaper for me to buy things on Amazon with Bitcoin via Gyft (3% cashback) than using my credit card (1% cashback) or debit card (nada).

You're ignoring the cost of acquiring bitcoins in that 3%.

Also cheaper still to buy gift cards via raise, cardpool, giftcardgranny, hundreds of other results for "discount gift cards" which are 3%-6% off AND get your 1% cash back.

Please link me to a site that has Amazon gift cards at a greater than 3% discount. I tried searching last time someone gave me that reply and couldn't find one.

Who pays 3% markup to get their bitcoin? (coinbase is 1%)

[sanswork → DickingAround]

I didn't say 3%. I said he didn't include it when saying he saved 3%.

Buying Amazon cards on the secondary market isn't a good idea, though, due to the fraud. Otherwise agreed.

Which is helped by the ability to do chargebacks when you are defrauded.

Your own specious arguments also ignore the cost over exchange quoted prices in acquiring Bitcoin, and make a lot of incorrect assumptions to boot. You seem very vested in making this sound like bad news. I guess your job as a shill is in jeopardy? Better post more.
