If they wanted to accept crypto, would there be anything stopping them from using Monero at least, instead? I wonder why they would ignore the major actually anonymous token.
they’ve been slowing progress down for 10 years straight now
but don’t worry you’ve been able to pay bitcoin invoices with monero and everything else for nearly as long too, just use a mixer and set the destination asset and address to the one on the invoice
As a casual Monero user, who's the Bitcoin maxi you're speaking of? Fluffypony? Seth? I remember reading about someone on the Monero core team who started working for a large Bitcoin company but don't remember who it was or what the issue was.
Some countries like India make owning monero illegal so it's not an option for everyone. How they're going to prove it is another story of course. But it is what it is.

Owning cryptocurrency is not illegal in India. There is no ban on any cryptocurrencies in India. There is a hefty tax deduction at source on any transactions. Cryptocurrencies are not recognized as legal tender in India, which is the case in many other countries.
Bitcoin is not anonymous. This makes me doubt of all their privacy claims
