Reddit Removes Bitcoin As Payment option due to Coinbase change

As of April 30, merchants will no longer have access to the Merchant tools and May 31 is the final date until the customers have to switch to Coinbase Commerce.
According to Coinbase, they are Coinbase they are going to take a look on the demand and watch the progress on the Coinbase Commerce before decising if the reenable their Merchant Tools or not.
