Great idea! Start a business but make sure to make it cumbersome for almost any prospective customer to buy from you!
I just placed a pre-order on ColorHug, and I can assure you that I would never have ordered it, had it demanded me to set up yet-another-payment-system.

What advantage does that offer against credit-cards? The "free software" or the part where I don't have insurance on what I buy?

Also, attach your business success to the most volatile currency this side of the Zimbabwean Dollar?

That's "option", not "requirement".
I can likewise assure you that given the option I find it an easy way to pay.
The volatility is a larger problem but you don't hold on to it long if you tend a mail order business. In the UK there are companies that help you with that part and you just get the money in bulk.
