Just over a week since Adafruit Industries announced you could pay for their products with bitcoin, the DIY electronics merchant has raked in tens-of-thousands of dollars in the cryptocurrency.

I can't think of a more deserving merchant.  They give back to the open source/DIY community in spades.

Other merchants should heed to this, especially with their declining sales and marketing departments breaking their heads on how to raise revenues.

The BitPay BOOM

On the tails of Bitcoin Black Friday, BitPay Inc. announced a new record of processing 55,288 of bitcoin merchant transactions in November. BitPay continues to sign on new merchants daily and most recently released a new merchant pricing model and merchant directory. Taking the lead in the payment processing space in the Bitcoin community, BitPay also brought on Virgin Galactic as a merchant to go as far as facilitate the acceptance of Bitcoin for flights to outer space! BitPay onboarded over 3,000 merchants and also worked with Shopify to integrate BitPay into its checkout process to provide Bitcoin payment processing options to Shopify’s 75,000 merchants.
