Oh boy, what a time to be alive. You know I can see the history repeating here. Which history you ask? Well I mean the history of every new technology.

Do you know how credit cards started?

it used to be restaurants and stores were asked if they took payment with Credit Cards and most over time ended up saying YES or they would loose business. Guess what.....now the story repeats itself with ......"Do you take Bitcoin"?

THE NEWS


Deloitte Canada just annouced this week that they're office's internal restaurant named bistro 1858 now accepts bitcoins as valid payment.

Bistro 1858 is a private restaurant exclusively for Deloitte employees and their guests. They actually have a security guard who will turn away everyone else.

Hundreds of Deloitte practitioners purchase their meals from Bistro 1858 every day.

The Company is 'Excited' to use Bitcoin as a valid payment form.

Deloitte and Benchmark Hospitality selected Bitpay to accept the bitcoin payments.

There are many great Bitcoin wallets available out there so we didn’t find it necessary to recreate the wheel and build a new wallet

The Employees are not awarded any kind of discouts or anything like that for paying with bitcoins. “Our practitioners are encouraged to share the news with their clients and host them at Bistro 1858”, she further conveyed, noting that:

Many Deloitte professionals have shown excitement for the opportunity to start using bitcoin to buy their lunch and breakfast from Bistro 1858. If the usage of the BTM [Bitcoin ATM] machine we installed in the fall is any indication of how many people will start paying with bitcoin, we expect the number of users to grow continuously over the next few months.

Deloitte installed a Bitcoin ATM last semptember. That made them one of the Big 4 consultancy firms who installed one. Its fees are 4 percent to buy bitcoin and no fee for selling bitcoin.

When we installed our BTM in the fall we received a lot of requests from within the firm to bring bitcoin to our Bistro.[…] As the industry shifts and evolves we hope to continue to bring new and valuable initiatives to our firm and our clients.


Big firms start to use and accept bitcoin as a valid payment way. I think bitcoin is on the move and will in the future be used just like credit cards today.

Yes I think btc will rise to levels that are unattainable in the near future. It will be a bumpy ride though!
