Example of 250$ of Bitcoin:I do not understand what the difference in me sending you 250$ worth of Bitcoin or Bitcoin worth 250$. Is???
Your order costs 250$. 1 Bitcoin costs 25 dollars, so you buy 10, then send 10. But by the time it arrives, each Bitcoin now costs 24 dollars. Meaning you have only sent 240 dollars worth. This creates ambiguity as to whether you sent the right amount or not.
Example of Bitcoin worth 250$:
Your order costs 10 Bitcoin. You buy 10 Bitcoin for 250$, and send 10. By the time it arrives, it is now worth 240$. But as you sent 10 Bitcoin, there is no disputing that you have sent the requested amount of Bitcoin.
Sending Bitcoin worth 250$ puts the cost of volatility on the recipient, not the sender.
