Want to accept Bitcoin or an Altcoin you favor?
Accepting bitcoin or altcoins isn't as hard as you might think. The main things you'll need is a wallet, a smartphone or other device to display QR codes that can easily be scanned by others ( for Brick and mortar stores ) and for online, it's a bit more involved, since you will need to set up an eCommerce platform to use cryptocurrency.
MIT did a recent study on the release of $500,000.00 in Bitcoins by a student, and the case study was interesting to say the least. suprisingly some merchants aren't setup as well as you'd think, from lack of devices to handle purchases to bad signal strength, these are among a few issues stopping some merchants from ultizing cryptocurrency's full potential.
