Dutch Webshop CrazyPanda.nl Lets You Buy Chinaphones With Bitcoin

By Leave a Comment

Even though we have several options of buying electronics with Bitcoin already, having even more choices is never a bad thing. Thanks to awesome services such as Purse.io, All4btc and Gyft, you can buy pretty much anything off Amazon with Bitcoin. But what if you are looking for a specific brand of smartphone that is only sold in China?

Granted, there will be several sellers on Amazon offering the phone you want for a much higher price, due to import fees and the fact these devices are not supposed to be sold internationally. Crazypanda, a smartphone webshop based in The Netherlands, now accepts Bitcoin payments for their entire catalog of Chinese smartphones.  Read more...

By Leave a Comment

Over the course of 2014, we have seen several startup companies working hard to bring the concept of Bitcoin and digital currency to Africa, where the market is dominated by remittance services such as Western Union. As most people in Africa don’t have access to a bank account, it is an ideal breeding ground for the ever popular digital currency.

No Communication From Bitstamp Causes Distress Throughout Bitcoin Community

By Leave a Comment

As much as we would like to think that everything is okay, things are still awry as far as the Bitstamp exchange is concerned. Like we reported in yesterday’s article, it looks like the relaunch is not happening any time soon. In fact, there have been no updates provided throughout all day or night (depending on your timezone).

While all of that might not be a reason to panic for many cryptocurrency enthusiasts, it does worry me personally. Then again, I have seen these types of situations before and most of them ended badly for anyone involved. But all of us still have hope that everything will be working again very shortly, so let’s hope we are all right for a change.  Read more...

What Does The Future Hold For Bitcoin Exchanges?

By Leave a Comment

Bitcoin did not make such a great start in 2015 as some of us might have hoped.

Bitcoin Marketing in 2015 Should Focus on Consumers And Not Just Retailers

By Leave a Comment

Even though some of us consider 2014 a pretty successful year for Bitcoin because of the increased merchant adoption and global awareness, there is still a lot of work to be done. A lot of big media focus is on the Bitcoin price, which is a matter near and dear to all of us. However, the main issue with Bitcoin still remains, ever after all these years : the concept is too technical for most people to comprehend properly, and that issue needs to be addressed sooner rather than later.
