Bitcoin Fast Reports

Posted on at


Bitcoin, a digital currency, is not only taking the travel industry by storm with travel agencies and airlines taking the digital currency as payment from travelers but there are also companies like Dish Network, Dell, Overstock, and Expedia taking the digital currency as payment from people using these services. Not only this but according to a report by Forbes, which was reported on September 3, there are other currencies travel agencies like Cheap-Air are now going to start accepting as payments for traveling.

These new digital currencies include Litecoin and Dogecoin.According to another report by LiveBitCoinNews, November of last year, CheapAir was the first airline to actually allow travelers to not only use Bitcoin to book their flights but they are also going to be the first to start accepting the two new digital currencies including Litecoin and Dogecoin to make payments for their flights. This just goes to show how much we are advancing in technology these days.CheapAir is the one who started it but they are not the only ones these days. As a matter of fact, Dish Network took a Bitcoin payment last month from a couple who paid their monthly cable bill with the digital currency. The couple, Austin and Beccy Craig, star in a  new documentary titled, 'Life with Bitcoin' where they pay all of their bills using the digital currency.Ebay may start taking payments with Bitcoin soon as well. The big auction website has been inching its way into using the digital coin to take payments from their customers, a source has told The Wall Street Journal.Although CheapAir was the first company to start using Bitcoin and these other companies have decided to follow, they are leaving them in the dust by taking on the two new digital currencies as payment. However, Bitcoin shouldn't take too much of a hit since the digital currency is now worth a price of $489.02 with a market cap of $6,468,697,437. Litecoin is worth a price of $5.20 with a market cap of $165,029,279 and Dogecoin is worth a price of $0.000168 with a market cap of $15,309,034. With this information, although the CEO of CheapAir knows that Bitcoin is the giant, he says he is willing to take the challenge on of trying out these two new digital currencies to see how well they work. He is, after all, receiving requests from the developers.How do you think these two new digital currencies will stand against the giant, Bitcoin? Do you think they will blow Bitcoin out of the digital water, tie it up, or not be enough to stand up to it? Keep in mind that Bitcoin started out small just like everything else does and just like everything else, it has grown through leaps and bounds to get where it is today. Litecoin and Dogecoin just might surprise everyone! Tell everyone what you think by sharing your thoughts in the comments section below.
