We were the first business in Latin America to accept Bitcoin payments. We saw Bitcoin as a back-to-basics concept. It's meant to be simple, it's the way things were meant to be paid for. Now I've become the point person for businesses all over São Paulo who are interested in Bitcoin.
As a person, I started to pay close attention, to mine and trade Bitcoin since 2011. I was completely amazed by this idea of a decentralized currency and believed that it will influence the future of the financial industry. I have made bitcoin the main method of payment for my ecommerce business.
We produce cookies and muffins and Bitcoin payments are perfectly integrated into our business. All our online sales have been in Bitcoin, which has opened great opportunities for our business and attracted investment from all over the world. If Bitcoin has been a solution for a business as simple as ours then imagine what it could do for your business. Bitcoin is a reality and history is being rewritten right now. We were very happy to know that there are people using Bitcoin in Mexico! If you visit us in Mexico City, we invite you to try our delicious cupcakes.
I'm using Bitcoin as a currency option for my business because it is by far the easiest way to conduct international payments, something I often deal with in my job as film director and cinematographer, traveling around the world on shoots. Instead of taking a week to send or receive money, and losing 3-5% in bank fees etc, I can make transactions almost instantly without any middle man taking a cut.
Our website programmer from France suggested that we accept bitcoin payments. At the time and even now Bitcoins are still not very well known in Mexico. I thought it was a very interesting concept so after he explained bitcoin to us in more detail we decided to accept them.
Living remotely in Hawaii, I do the majority of my shopping online for the things my family needs, and paying with Bitcoin is a superior option because it is so fast and easy. Investing in and mining Bitcoin supports our family and allows my husband and I to spend quality time with our kids, and focus on our passions. Bitcoin is a truly a participatory economy and word of mouth is everything, which is why I like to highlight the positive experiences I have with Bitcoin businesses on my blog.
I'm a relative newcomer to Bitcoin, but I find the breakthrough payment technology to be compelling, and perhaps the most disruptive technology since the internet. My primary business is design and printing, so I launched Print4Bitcoin.com to let the world know my business accepts Bitcoin. I've only received payment in Bitcoin from a few customers so far, but I sense a lot of opportunity coming as Bitcoin flourishes.
At Rentadesk we wanted to promote and encourage the adoption of bitcoin in the day to day economy of normal business transactions by accepting bitcoin payments from our customers. We are 'Bitcoin Believers' : we like the low transaction fees, peer to peer ethos, and freedom.
