Yes please accept Bitcoins.  

Coinbase makes it really easy for anyone to accept payments in Bitcoins straight to your Bank account in USD.

That site is a treasure trove of (unfortunate) humor, which confirms my worst suspicions about bitcoin.

once government catches up to this, they will make it illegal like china did.

You guys should definitely consider accepting Bitcoin. As a merchant you can use BitPay- no need to ask anyone for permission, no visa or mastercard fees. In the future, no need for visa or mastercard at all- priceless. It will open you up to entirely new sources of revenue. These days you can use services like coinbase to convert into USD if you not willing to take fluctuation risk (but in my opinion btc will be worth a lot more in the future). Best scenario is to start paying staff in btc, and using btc in the real world- there are loads of things you can purchase with btc already and every day more and more businesses are accepting them.

Would recommend you get in touch with the folks over at Bitpay.com so they can explain everything nicely.

As for the economics behind bitcoin, it's going to be an interesting story to tell one day when we see how this plays out. But in my opinion, earning BTC is going to be far better than USD because BTC holds purchasing power without the need to prop itself up through war and the petrodollar like USD. By accepting BTC you are not only making life easier for yourselves, reducing transaction costs, and opening up to all-new markets; you are inadvertently reducing the power of governments to go to war on the back of your productivity. Individuals and businesses should get behind BTC on this principle alone.
