Do what makes the most economic sense for your business, and test it against the market. The market is indeed magical and will let you know if your idea is a good or bad idea.

I do agree this is still a fiat world. At least for my business, I must accept fiat to survive. But I also foresee, or at least I hope, in the not too distant future I can refuse to accept fiat and run my business accepting bitcoin only.

Does anyone do something hands-on / physical for a living?

I hear what you are saying. I am also fascinated by the idea of leveraging a bitcoin discount as a competitive advantage. If we both have landscaping businesses and both charge $100 but I say I will do it for $85 in Bitcoin can I win more business than you?

Say I have a 30-40% profit margin on a $100 service. I still cover all my costs easily, make less profit but thus pay less taxes, and hopefully pick up more business because I am less expensive. 

I don't think we are at that point yet, as many are still skeptical of bitcoin, but I think this will work in the not too distant future.
