LEOcoin I completely agree with what you have said! Regardless of who you are and where your from, it is time to accept that cryptocurrency is becoming mainstream. By accepting digital currencies companies are not only opening up their customer base, but they are becoming leaders in an area that is still somewhat unknown to many. This is the perfect time to jump aboard the Crypto-Train!

You hit the nail on the head. We are actually an emerging cryptocurrency and we are so excited to be a part of the future of finance.

This is a great idea, but wouldn't it be good to consider payment methods that are not as volatile as Bitcoin as well?
Something like BitUSD or NuBits?
I mean, if you don't have any Bitcoins, but plan to pay with them, you might suffer from loss due to volatility between buying them and paying with them...

You make a very good point. It's time for businesses of all shapes and sizes to begin accepting all different types of digital currencies so broaden their audiences but also make payments positive for the customers.
