More businesses in Vero Beach and Sebastian accepting bitcoin for payments every day. What was once dismissed as “funny internet money” is now becoming mainstream, with payments becoming available at our local businesses. Now that Fortune 500 companies are holding bitcoin in their corporate treasuries, perhaps it’s time for us to pay a little more attention to what is being heralded by some as the future of money.
Coinbase is a US-based company with an impeccable safety record (no hacks, ever). They connect to all major and minor traditional banks to make investing in bitcoin easier than ever. Even if you are still skeptical about bitcoin’s future (I know I am), it may still be wise to allocate some funds to bitcoin…just in case.
