Title: Bitcoin gaining traction in China? Post by: StarfishPrime on May 28, 2013, 02:58:50 PM This may not seem significant, but I believe it is...
Quote hello, glad to get your mail we will apply for an Bitcoin Account.I will tell you when I get. Just received this message from an electronic component manufacturer in China. I asked if they were accepting bitcoin yet, and referred them to the BTCChina.com site, suggesting it was faster, less expensive and more convenient than the T/T (aka bank wire transfers) we'd always used in the past (and used for the vast majority of trade with China) Their management must have seen the potential benefit, and are going to accept it now. I always ask our offshore suppliers if they "take bitcoin yet" (just for fun, mostly they've never heard of it), but this is the first time I have seen a manufacturer express any interest. If you do international trade, don't hesitate to put the word out about bitcoin, refer to BTCchina.com, etc. It would be great if it became an alternative to the slow, archaic T/T system.
