Cryptocurrencies are worse than credit cards for everything that normal people care about, and they're better than credit cards for illegal transactions. This might eventually change, and we can re-evaluate then. If for some reason cryptocurrencies become popular and sufficiently stable to be used as currency, I have no doubt that existing credit card companies will start offering automatic currency exchange, so you can have an account in USD and pay a vendor who accepts only Ethereum, or vice versa. As such, accepting credit card payments is good enough.

I'd hardly call credit cards antiquated, though :-) 60-year old tech seems pretty old to me: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credit_card#BankAmericard_and_Master_Charge And yet it's still by far the most common payment method. So what if it isn't trendy. Deal with it. In the US maybe, not in most of the world, where they're still using cash. ;) I almost never use my cards, and like that crypto-currencies have more in similar to cash.

So what if it isn't trendy. Deal with it. Common fallacy: new == better. As with D, sometimes the new _is_ better, so perhaps you shouldn't assume old is better either.
