"Take me down to the Bitcoin Coin City where the money ain't green and bitcoin is plenty..."
Last week I had the opportunity to visit Arnhem, the Dutch city also known as "Bitcoin City". My role within the PBSA & @Peerplays team is to educate, and what better way to do so than to show how simple it is to purchase with Bitcoin, even for the most simple of things.
This community is known for it's accepting attitude towards Bitcoin. One thing I did notice, however, is although many shops indeed accept bitcoin, proudly displaying stickers in their windows, not all frontline staff were educated on Bitcoin. This was my personal experience, and it comes from a small sampling of interactions.
I decided to make my first purchase at Burger King. It's awesome that a global chain that serves millions all around the world is recognizing Bitcoin & accepting it in exchange for curly fries!
Check out my experience, and let me know in the comments your first Bitcoin purchase!
Making Bitcoin mainstream, one curly fry at a time.
I can't wait for the new High Speed Eurostar to Amsterdam. UK > Amsterdam direct !! It's coming around December 2017. Will be there spending my Bitcoins :-)

Am really glad bitcoin is gaining acceptance . I only hope it'll be more recognized here in Nigeria.

i think that's the key, it needs to be fast. did you try any other places that would have given a better average if you had tried say 3/5 places more.
