Why? Accept and instantly change to something else.

Let's clear things up.

Crypto currencies are really worth nothing. Just people do believe they 
are worth something. It represent no real value.

Classic currencies are really worth nothing. Just people do believe they 
are worth something. It represent value equal heat of combustion - if you 
have papers. Or zero if just in bank.

The only difference is that classic currencies are enforced by law. Crypto 
are not.

So you shouldn't differentiate, just then convert to currency or some 
other good you need. To avoid risks - do it at the day when crypto 
currency is transferred.
