BITCOIN will be sold in TOBACCO STORES in FRENCH country

The Sales Rate of BTC Coupons Will İncrease

In Paris, the capital of France, 24 tobacco shops have started to sell bitcoin vouchers. Last year, the stores, known as "Tabac", obtained legal approvals for crypto money sales. More than 6500 tabs, including nearly one-fourth of the registered tobacco stores, are expected to sell BTC coupons until February.

BTC Coupons 50,100, and 250 Euro Banknotes

According to a Reuters report published Jan. 9 (which mentions only six tabacs), French financial technology group Keplerk is backing the sale of bitcoin in tobacco stores. In 2018, the company reached an agreement with a local payments software provider allowing tabac owners to sell BTC vouchers that can be redeemed from a wallet on Keplerk’s website. Keplerk put the figure of bitcoin selling tobacco outlets at 24, in a statement to French website capital.fr.

Currently, BTC can be bought in three sums of 50 euros, 100 euros and 250 euros ($43, $86 and $250). In exchange for the euro, the user obtains a ticket containing an alphanumeric code and a QR code. Buyers then have to visit the Keplerk website to convert their vouchers into cryptocurrency of either bitcoin core or ethereum. Keplerk charges a commission of 7 percent on each ticket sold and gives 1.25% to the tobacconist, the company said.

Adil Zakhar, co-founder of Keplerk, stated:

We must admit that it is a truly wonderful promise.

A Good Time to Buy the BTC Coupons

Reuters quoted one Cyril Azria, a 45-year old man who became one of the first buyers of the BTC coupon saying: “I’ll use the bitcoins to buy some computer material on the internet and the rest to speculate. It’s a good time to buy,” he said, after spending 150 euros.

French regulators have warned the public against investing in cryptocurrencies, saying the unregulated financial instruments are highly volatile. However, they have not blocked Keplerk’s tabac plan.
