A 74-year-old perfumery located in the city of Madrid (Spain) announced that it now accepts bitcoins as a method of payment in the sale of perfumes, cosmetics and fashion accessories.
The Perfumery Madrid Paris, which has been on the market since 1943, unveiled its new method of payment through the social network Reddit this Sunday.
This perfumery, which also offers other products, has already put on its page the well-known "bitcoin is accepted" along with other methods of payment, including debit and credit cards. The reason for the local Madrid to adopt the first cryptononeda seems to be related to the innovation itself and with the aim of offering its customers the best services and options: "We want to offer the best service to our customers and payment through Bitcoin is undoubtedly one of them, "the statement said in the social network.
This marks a further step in the adoption of bitcoin in Spain, as it is a company that is part of traditional markets, such as the sale of classic perfumes such as Hermès, Van Cleef & Arpels, Robert Piguet, Patou, Jean Louis Scherrer, Armani, among many others; those that can be sent home
This adoption can bring new users who do not know bitcoin and other cryptones, materializing their use in the day to day of the inhabitants of the place. It should be noted that Madrid Paris has a high clientele of tourists, as they serve their customers in Spanish, English and French, indicating that also with this new method of payment could facilitate the purchase to many of them, in the sense that they would not have to make any currency exchange.
Also, perfumery as a company is aware that adoption and acceptance is not immediate and may take some time; but just giving visibility to the use of the cryptomoneda both excites the team behind Perfumery Madrid Paris and many ecosystem enthusiasts.
On the other hand, the initiative of perfumery arises in a context in which bitcoin is not illegal, but neither is it recognized as money in the Spanish territory, but as a "non material good". And although trade and mining with bitcoins requires a tax return (miners must declare taxes as self-employed), it remains an at least feasible environment for their use. Environment that is growing every day, along with the adoption of technology that underlies the cryptononedas: the blockchain, with which Spain has penetrated mainly in the FinTech field.
In fact, about 4 thousand businesses in Spain have been able to buy bitcoins with Bitnovo, and in the province of Galicia, in La Coruña there is an ATM since 2016 for the purchase of bitcoins

Una perfumería de 74 años ubicada en la ciudad de Madrid (España) anunció que a partir de ahora acepta bitcoins como método de pago en la venta de perfumes, cosméticos y accesorios de moda.
La Perfumería Madrid París, que lleva en el mercado desde 1943, dio a conocer su nuevo método de pago a través de la red social Reddit este domingo.
Dicha perfumería, que también ofrece otros productos, ya colocó en su página el conocido letrero de “se acepta bitcoin” junto a los demás métodos de pago, que incluyen tarjetas de débito y crédito. El motivo del local madrileño para adoptar la primera criptomoneda parece estar relacionado con la innovación en sí y con el objetivo de ofrecer a sus clientes los mejores servicios y opciones: “Queremos ofrecer el mejor servicio a nuestros clientes y el pago a través de Bitcoin es sin duda uno de ellos” declaran en el comunicado de la red social.
Esto marca un paso más en la adopción de bitcoin en España, pues es una empresa que forma parte de los mercados tradicionales, como es la venta de perfumes tan clásicos como Hermès, Van Cleef & Arpels, Robert Piguet, Patou, Jean Louis Scherrer, Armani, entre muchos otros; los que pueden ser enviados a domicilio
Esta adopción puede acercar a nuevos usuarios que desconocen bitcoin y demás criptomonedas, materializando su uso en el día a día de los habitantes del lugar. Aquí cabe destacar que Madrid París tiene una alta clientela de turistas, pues atienden a sus clientes en español, inglés y francés, lo que indica que también con este nuevo método de pago podrían facilitarle la compra a muchos de ellos, en el sentido de que no tendrían que hacer ningún cambio de divisas.
Asimismo, la perfumería como empresa es consciente de que la adopción y aceptación no es inmediata y puede tomar algo de tiempo; pero el sólo darle visibilidad al uso de la criptomoneda entusiasma tanto al equipo tras Perfumería Madrid París como a muchos entusiastas del ecosistema.
Por otro lado, la iniciativa de la perfumería surge en un contexto en el que bitcoin no es ilegal, pero tampoco es reconocido como dinero en el territorio español, sino como un “bien no material”. Y aunque el comercio y la minería con bitcoins requiere de una declaración de impuestos (los mineros deben declarar impuestos como trabajadores autónomos), sigue siendo un ambiente al menos factible para su uso. Ambiente que va creciendo cada día, junto a la adopción tecnología que subyace a las criptomonedas: la blockchain, con la que España ha incursionado sobre todo en el ámbito FinTech.
De hecho, alrededor de 4 mil negocios en España se han habilitado para comprar bitcoins con Bitnovo, y en la provincia de Galicia, en la Coruña existe un cajero automático desde 2016 para la compraventa de bitcoins
