I hope you will join and support me in signing an online petition to the CEO of Spreadshirt requesting that they add Bitcoin as a payment option.
https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/philip-rooke-ceo-spreadshirt-please-add-bitcoinFor those of you unfamiliar with Spreadshirt, they are a multi-national online retailer operating in 17 countries with a world-wide market.
Recently the CEO Philip Rooke on the 28th of March 2014 stated:
"I receive hundreds of requests a month from consumers and our ecommerce platform sellers wanting Amazon checkout and payment. We have yet to have one for Bitcoin. If Bitcoin is not mass market then it will be of little use to ecommerce retailers and platforms. The internet is a funny place however, where new ideas do catch on. My job therefore is to try and cover as many of our customers’ needs as possible, so if enough people want to use Bitcoin we will adapt and find ways of taking payments!"
Spreadshirt is willing to adapt and implement a Bitcoin payment system they just want the Bitcoin community and customers to stand up and be counted.
This will attract good media attention and increase Bitcoin sentiment. The publicity will add pressure to other international online retailers to join the Bitcoin revolution too.
So I kindly ask you to show your support and spend 10 seconds signing the online petition.
We need to stand together as a community and make our voices count or as Satoshi would say ‘Strength in numbers’
Please like and share the petition after signing. If you’re feeling extra awesome you can encourage friends and family members to sign it as well.
We have the opportunity to make a difference, let’s grab the bull by the horns and send the main stream media a message that the Bitcoin community is as strong and united as it ever has been.
The petitions goal is for 1500 signatures. I’m really hoping we can pull together as a community and overshoot target and push for 5000!Be the change that you wish to see in the worldThanks for your time.
