A suggested "solution" is to post prices in USD but perform the transaction in BTC (based on the latest exchange rate) under the hood. This shifts the problem to the buyer, who doesn't know how much will be taken out of their wallet.



They had that system in Russia when the rouble was fluctuating more. All prices were posted in "comparative units", which were basically USD. You'd then pay using the day's exchange rate.


And in Brazil.
