Usually, where BTC is also accepted, it doesn't cost more there to use BTC.
Usually, Bitcoin backed credit cards have terribly high fees, so you claim to pay with Bitcoin but the merchant is not a bitcoiner and couldn't care less about bitcoin.
I think, companies that accept Bitcoin directly deserve our support and I'm willing to pay some 2-3% for the pleasure of supporting the Bitcoin circular economy but not 10% unless it has other things going for it.
So I ordered at least 20 times from Fasttech. Sadly they are no more and I wish there was some comparable platform where I could buy all that stuff I'm currently getting from Amazon.

I would suggest that a company charging 2-3% more to accept Bitcoin is likely not receiving the Bitcoin directly, but rather paying that 2-3% to a 3rd-party processor to convert what they actually receive into fiat; and thus, not supporting a Bitcoin circular economy at all.
Yeah but when the bitcoin only merchant charges 3% more than the fiat competitor, that's usually not what's going on.
