I'm sure there are other types of businesses where bounced checks or credit card charge backs are an issue, I just don't know which ones they are.
This effects nearly all small retailers reselling products with very small margins, especially when many already have to price some common goods at a loss just to generate the foot traffic to operate. It doesn't take a whole lot of bad checks at a mom & pop shop before they can no longer pay their bills, and this is compounded when it can be cost/time prohibitive to get a collection agency to assist in recovery because there isn't enough volume for them to take on the job for a fixed percentage fee.

I think it makes sense. I believe it is the future, and I like that it cannot bounce or be charged back
I think this argument is going to convince a lot of businesses to start accepting bitcoin. I'm sure there are other types of businesses where bounced checks or credit card charge backs are an issue, I just don't know which ones they are.
Also, this drops another of the critisims against bitcoin: you can't use it to pay your rent. Well, in at least one place, now you can.
