Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

Great news, does it state the reasons why?
Accepting more forms of currency like this can only help businesses, but I have a feeling that when companies start accepting BTC, it's because a high level exec is invested in Bitcoin and pushes it through.
Like I say, this isn't a bad thing, as it's win/win for everyone, but would like to know the reasoning behind it.

Though it is only in Germany, still this is a great news for everyone. Somehow it will trigger other comompanies to do the same thing. Which will cause bitcoin to get known. And if that happen, many investors will have interest in bitcoin. This will help increase the value of bitcoin as well.

It IS great news. But it will only help bitcoin if people actually start using btc to pay for their energy.
We have seen so many of these announcements in the past, but sadly the bitcoin community refuses to spend bitcoins, and then a few years down the line the provider removes the ability to pay with bitcoin (as no-one uses it and it's too much of a hassle to maintain the option for non-existent customers).

It's really a good news not only for the people of Germany but the entire bitcoin community. I am sure that there are more people in Germany using bitcoin who may have demanded the energy provider to accept bitcoin as one of payment options and that's why they announced it and it's a good sign for bitcoin's growing adoption and acceptance, the more people get involved in bitcoin the stronger it will grow. Good news for all of us bitcoin enthusiasts, thanks for sharing.

Great great news!
One less variable for miners in Austria. No exchange rate costs.
Bitcoin should strive for this solutions. No value leakage.

That is pretty great actually. This just shows that the world is showing more acceptance towards digital currencies. This will cause an increase in demand for BTC in Germany. |

A few years ago, people were saying if you cannot pay your utility bills with bitcoin, then it is not a real currency. We have seen more than one company that allows you to do that now, so we are steadily moving forward towards mainstream adoption. I hope that we will seen more of this type of news, as bitcoin adoption increase in the future. We just need to find a way to do this without using third party services.  |

It's Austria. Secondary. Wann es für die rund 500.000 Stromkunden so weit sein könnte, dass sie ihre Rechnung mit Bitcoin oder einer anderen Kryptowährung begleichen können, wagt Kolar keine Prognose. "Hier spielen auch Vorschriften und Regularien eine Rolle. Da ist noch einiges zu klären", sagt Kolar. (hn) Read the damn article and use google translate if you don't know the language !!!!!! |

Good thing for them i guess this is a good sign that the cryptocurrency isguess spreading and the bitcoin is not hopeless for a pumping of price in the market i dont think that the bitcoin will become a dead coin at this point because it is already a successful coin in the market. |

Yeah, like you mentioned, the only way to pay your bills with Bitcoin is usually through third party services atm, but it's slowly changing. Aside from this story, a town in Switserland has been accepting Bitcoin as payment for government services. The trial ended in December 2016, but afaik, no results have been published. (could be wrong here) Here's a link to an article about that Swiss Bitcoin payment trial: https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/business/crypto-valley_zug-first-to-accept-bitcoin-for-government-services/42143908 |

As wise as i am now and with lots of companies and corporations accepting bitcoins now, i dont think i will be joining the group of people who uses bitcoins to make purchases and the payments of bills. I will pay with cash and let time grow my bitcoins. |

Looks like a small energy provider and hence they could accept bitcoins as a payment because they are interested in the digital currency market. Still, it's something good for their customers if they use bitcoins as a currency. Earlier I heard about Austria introducing a bitcoin bank as well by Bit trust. Any updates about it?
