Brickchain, the world’s first online LEGO store that only accepts digital currency, has opened its virtual doors.

The store is a kind of nerd fantasy land where one can spend cryptocurrencies to buy LEGO sets. Today customers may choose Bitcoin, Litecoin or Dogecoin as payment methods, and more currencies are going to be added soon. All prices are displayed immediately in one of the selected currencies.

Hmm.. not sure how much demand there will be for people to spend their coins on Lego, but it's always nice to see more merchants, and especially stores that accept only cryptocurrencies.

And is that Dorian's face on the little lego man?  ;D

I really wish Dorian would capitalize on his quasi-fame and sell his likeness for Bitcoin related items. It would be pretty low effort on his part, and help him financially. Plus, I can't think of a better face for Bitcoin than a somewhat bitter, intoverted, older Japanese man that loves trains. I'd buy a t-shirt or two.

Dorian does have quite the meme-face  ;D. I could see it catching on if it was put on clothing or other such stuff haha. I wouldn't mind a shirt with that little lego BTC Man on  :D.
