He chose bitpay probably because they auto convert the btc to usd and then send to his bank account. Most services who accept bitcoin throw bitpay actually only receive usd and not bitcoin.

I know that, but the payment option should be named Bitcoin, not Bitpay. There might be BTC holders in far off lands who've never heard of Bitpay.

I don't think that he cares about bitcoin at all. He only cares about USD, I mean why would they choose to use a bitcoin payment processing ? He could directly receive bitcoin a public address (if there is one).

Caring about bitcoin doesn't matter. The more that places accept bitcoin as a method of payment, the more it will grow.

Excellent news! The more people in the public eye who accept bitcoin the better for us. It gives us exposure & more chance of bitcoin reaching out to average joe. I'm not from the US so I haven't heard of Louis C.K, is he a big deal over in the US?

Obviously Madison Square Garden is a massively famous venue, I just hope this news reaches a lot of potential investors.

Sooo great! And CK is a pioneer in comedy, he was the first to make his own special on his dime and sell it on his site for $5, looks like the innovation will continue.

Cheers!

Most people like two best things in the world: porn and comedy. Now, both of those have got into bitcoin, and sooner or later bitcoin will be known by all people in the world, no doubt about it. Like OP said, I dont know who that guy is, but he is awesome.

The more the merrier and he is a big deal. It's weird that Bitpay is listed as a payment option on his site and not Bitcoin.

American comedian and producer Louis Székely, professionally known as Louis C.K has started to accept bitcoin payments for his comedy show performed at Madison Square Garden.

The audio-only show can be purchased with bitcoin through BitPay, and customers can choose the price for this audio album. Louis CK mentioned on his website:

“We have the price set to 5 dollars but you can lower it to 1 dollar or raise it to 85. that's the maximum, because beyond that, I don't want your crazy money.”

Louis C.K is the first comedian ever to accept bitcoin for comedy albums and shows.

There is also a fan who said : "“I was actually just looking for some standup comedy on Youtube, then noticed this post. Best $10 ever spent.”

I personally don't know this guy because I'am not from USA and never heard of him or saw him on TV but he seems like a celebrity and it's nice to see Celebrities like him and Mike Tayson coming to Bitcoin world

What do you guys think ??. Also in case you want to support the guy here is his website : louisck.net , He added Bitpay on the payment methods .
