Bitcoin is the wave of the future to some. For others it is considered a scam. While some Podiatrists are probably accepting Bitcoin, most are not. The question for Podiatrists going forward is should they accept Bitcoin. This is a good article on how accepting Bitcoin for this doctor has helped the practice.
Now the fact is 80 year old men who come in for foot care are not going to be paying in Bitcoin. Though the type of patient that will pay in Bitcoin will be very lucrative and advertising you accept Bitcoin could be extremely profitable in attracting these high dollar patients.
You can have bitcoin. When the shtf I want gold or money backed by gold. Might as well accept bottle caps. Might seem good now but it’s a risk I wouldn’t take. Podiatry is shaky enough let alone accept shaky currency. I think it’s suicide in the LONG RUN.
