"Wordpress received only slightly over 100 BTC payments in 2014
Commenting on the recent removal of the Bitcoin payment option from the Wordpress subscription screen, founder Matt Mullenweg revealed the site received only two payments a week in Bitcoin during 2014, but plans to reinstate the payment option for “philosophical” reasons.
"The volume has been dropping since launch, in 2014 it was only used about twice a week, which is vanishingly small compared to other methods of payment we offer. […] We supported Bitcoin for philosophical reasons, not commercial ones."

Yeah, 20 grand worth of bitcoins... Barely walking-around money.
Exactly! Especially if you add that they didn't have to pay anything to use this payment method or keep it on their site.
I bet you there was an accountant somewhere with his knickers in a knot.
100 btc payments is not the same thing as 100 btc in payments ... right?
