Volatility is not scaring away potential new users. That is a good sign. Are they using Bitpay?

The only reason people are scared of volatility is because they haven't seen a market that hasn't been manipulated before, that's my theory, they could be using anything these days, lots of new payment processors popping up.

Quote
Following its successful test with bitcoin micropayments provider BitWall back in February, the Chicago Sun-Times has announced that it has partnered with San Francisco-based bitcoin startup Coinbase to accept bitcoin payments.

That test saw the newspaper receive more than 700 bitcoin donations over a 24-hour trial period in support of the non-profit Taproot foundation, which offers pro-bono service work to organisations tackling social problems.

The announcement makes the Sun-Times the first US newspaper to accept bitcoin as a payment option, a move that editor in chief Jim Kirk indicated was in line with its digital-first promotional strategy.
