For sure it's not a problem the originating currency is BTC. It will, however, raise the question in the authorities' eyes: where did you have USD to pay for that product?

The answer would be yes, we have a separate wallet, in BTC. :-P -- Tiberiu-Cezar Tehnoetic | Președinte, Fundația Ceata GPG: 900CECE2 | Tel: +40-761-810-100 Susții libertatea artelor și tehnologiilor?
