How long will credit card processing be down for? I've heard it might be down for good. Is this true? And if it is, might we see the return of a number of products?

I guess my major concern with crypto currency is the instability of the coin value combined with the difficulty purchasing coins without taking a week linking your bank account with some online conversion agency. I don't want to buy too many BTC in case something goes wrong, but buying them every time I have to make a purchase is a monumental hassle with its own share of risks. I just don't know how to do this comfortably and securely.
And I have lost money by holding on to BTC too long, as well. That was back when things were less bullish for the enterprise but still, it's made me wary.
Really bummed, too--I was ready to buy some more peptides but I took time reordering and now you guys don't have CC anymore. I really need to show more initiative if you guys ever bring it up again.
God, though, how I'd love to stick it to the man and go all crypto. When a necessary service becomes oligopolized, it's amazing how repulsively the practices of the ruling elite can devolve due to the utter lack of competition or threat. The idea of their abuses finally coming back to bite them is thrilling, although I wouldn't want that to cloud my judgment going forward (resentment, as Nietzsche said, is its own vector for evil).

Yes, crypto is the future, but it is going to be a long bumpy road getting there. We have a long ways to go before those hassles and risks are gone. I completely understand why some people might want to avoid it for now. Hell, if you think it was stressful watching values drop for what you bought, imagine how I feel on the 40% drops! I check crypto charts at least 100 times a day, probably. Hell, I've checked them like 4 times since coming to this thread. Haha. I've held some Bitcoin from 2013 all the way till now. It's a roller coaster of emotions, that's for sure.
