Cryptocurrency in Australia

[EthereumAdvocate]

Recently I heard from one friend that in Australia at the airport you can use cryptocurrency as payment for services. Including the purchase of tickets. Is that really the case?

True - Even further, on the back of it one of the tourist towns in Queensland further up the coast from Brisbane is starting to use cryptocurrencies at over 30 businesses in the town as an option for payment using specified cryptocurrencies (BTC, LTC, ETH, NEM, BCH).

This is just a sign, other locations in other countries would no doubt be doing similar.  But am very happy to be seeing my country doing something.

That is a good sign for the growth of the crypto market. This shows that in Australia there are many businesses involved in the crypto market and that will be an advantage for our strong growth. If there are more such businesses, the capitalization of cryptocurrency will increase.

This is possible as Bitcoin and Crypto currency in Australia are declared legal so expect not only in the airport but soon in the ports and any means of travel will directly receive Bitcoin as form of payment. Hopefully this will happen in out country too that we could use Bitcoin as an alternative payment options in any establishments.

seems this news is true,, depends on all the links above
and i hope this could be the beginning of the bull in crypto industries,,

Yes this is a legit news and that has been in the web and verified by other people too before.

No, this didn't brought any bull in the market and that's why this has been the most popular news before as they have been the first airport that started to accept crypto's. But we don't have any update if its really useful there and customers are even tried to pay with bitcoin or any accepted crypto.

Yes, it really is. And in addition to paying for airport services, Australia accepts cryptocurrency as payment for utilities and fines

I heard in Australia, you can not only pay for tickets at the airport, but also pay utility bills with bitcoin and 40 more cryptocurrencies. Very smart people live in Australia, they know how to make more money.
