Deloitte is one of the big4 consulting firm in the world along with EY, PWC and KMPG. I am glad to have worked with one of them one year back. I have see some research papers created by the technology consulting team of my employer about blockchain technology.

But installing bitcoin ATM and introducing it as a payment method is a welcoming news. It shows that the corporate are showing interest in bitcoin and they are mainly preparing themselves with future projects.  They expect that blockchain technology will be wodely accepted in future and hence they want to create a team with blockchain masterminds.

The use of ATM bitcoin into billing is a great thing, although it is not a new thing at the moment, but it is showing the boom of bitcoin, there are many ATM bitcoin to be More installation, time is making everything nice. This development of bitcoin is very good and commendable. However, besides the development of bitcoin, it is branched. Perhaps, everyone knows about it. It shows that besides development, there is always a potential for collapse. Bitcoin still faces many difficulties.

This is really great news!

But know that this move isn't a pure endorsement of Bitcoin, it's a test. Deloitte can track the activity Bitcoin generates among its employees to gauge if it has adoption potential among a more mainstream audience. And their employees live in big cities, are college educated, have disposable income. It's a really great sample set for a test of future market capability.
