Airlines accepting Bitcoin as payment & Other Retailers?

[Durison]

First we see Expedia taking Bitcoin, and now an Airline.

Interesting article here: https://news.bitcoin.com/taiwanese-airline-accept-cryptocurrency-payments-flight-tickets/

Appears that a Taiwanese Airline is accepting Crypto! Another paradigm shift.

What does everyone think the next type of retailer will start accepting payment?

Looks like Paypal is looking into it as well

Thoughts?

Not only the Taiwanese airline accepts Bitcoin in ticket payment, in Korea there are 50,000 hotels accepting the altcoin payments. This is an important milestone for the crypto market to grow. They buy and hold them. 2018 will be the boom year for the Crypto market.

That's good news because we can pay our bitcoin to airplane and we can purchase our ticket.
This is good also to the price because the tourist or the curstomer will buy bitcoin to easy to transact. I hope my country also will accept bitcoin for the ticketing so we can get avail ticket and so we can tour.  Paying bitcoin is better because you can feel your hardwork.

I also accept Bitcoin as a payment if you wanna travel the world. We have a small travel agency and decided to offer people this kind of service. If you have some time you could  visit my original post. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2346746.msg23901860#msg23901860
If in any case you wanted to book you could pm me directly or you could post on my thread, I do need an escrow for transactions though.

Paypal would never accept cryptocurrency themselves as they do not receive payments, the facilitate them. If paypal were to enter the crypto market it would be through their own cryptocurrency or perhaps purchasing a crypto similar to theirs and using that for payments.

For this time, we seem many good news about cryptocurrency, that meaning Bitcoin already acepted by some goverment in the world. I hope will be more goverment accept Bitcoin in future, so also with my country, that will be make Bitcoin more famous and many people will be use Bitcoin. This can backing bitcoin price and make the price go to the moon, and I think this is very good time to buy Bitcoin, because the price still low for this time, if we compared with the price a few month ago.
And I think Bitcoin price start going to the moon from this month and I hope the price always stable.
