Where Can I Pay With Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency, a form of electronic cash. It is a decentralized digital currency without a central bank or single administrator that can be sent from user to user on the peer-to-peer bitcoin network without the need for intermediaries.

Transactions are verified by network nodes through cryptography and recorded in a public distributed ledger called a blockchain. Bitcoin is unique in that there are a finite number of them: 21 million.

NOTE: WARNING: When paying with Bitcoin, it is important to remember that the value of Bitcoin can be volatile and subject to rapid changes in value. Therefore, it is important to be aware of potential losses associated with using Bitcoin as a payment method. Additionally, there is no recourse if a payment is made in error or if the recipient of a payment does not fulfill their obligations. Therefore, it is essential that you conduct due diligence and feel confident in the person or company you are sending money to before sending any payments using Bitcoin.

Bitcoins are created as a reward for a process known as mining. They can be exchanged for other currencies, products, and services.

As of February 2015, over 100,000 merchants and vendors accepted bitcoin as payment.
