Title: Australian airport Brisbane intends to introduce payment by bitcoins Post by: mangkiko on January 27, 2018, 05:21:27 AM It seems that the list of places where you can pay off without any problems with bitcoins has replenished with the airport. The intention to introduce the possibility of crypto-payment of goods and services in shops, cafes and restaurants of two terminals was announced by the airport management of Australian Brisbane.
By payment according to the airport managers will be accepted bitcoins, ethereum, Dash and a number of other digital coins. Thus, it is planned to increase the airport’s image as an innovative leader, support local business and improve client experience. “Today many people invest in crypto-currencies. And a large part of these crypto-investors travel to different countries. So, why not offer them in our terminals the opportunity to use crypto currency as a means of payment, “said the head of strategic planning and development of Brisbane Airport Roel Hellmons. https://thebitcoinnews.com/australian-airport-brisbane-intends-to-introduce-payment-by-bitcoins/ Title: Re: Australian airport Brisbane intends to introduce payment by bitcoins Post by: Kakmakr on January 27, 2018, 06:39:58 AM It only makes sense to offer this functionality at the airports, where currency conversion is the most prevalent. You have many existing Currency exchanges in airports, so they can just add Bitcoin/Crypto currency options to these existing services.
Bitcoiners should approach these services in their area and ask for this. As soon as they see that there are a demand for these services, then they will consider implementing it. Bitcoin ATM distributors should also target them. ;) Title: Re: Australian airport Brisbane intends to introduce payment by bitcoins Post by: BitcoinFrik on January 27, 2018, 06:41:51 AM It only makes sense to offer this functionality at the airports, where currency conversion is the most prevalent.

What if a ticket is 20$ and you have to pay another 20$ in fees? They should've waited for the lightning network. :| Title: Re: Australian airport Brisbane intends to introduce payment by bitcoins Post by: Ranly123 on January 27, 2018, 06:48:05 AM It only makes sense to offer this functionality at the airports, where currency conversion is the most prevalent.

In that way it is made easier for the person to pay without bringing too much cash in the pocket. Though there is a problem in the volatility of bitcoin, but it can be solved by the management of the airport and how they could improve bitcoin payments in the future.
