Can you imagine such a scenario? You pick up a piece of money on the side of the road and hand it to the policeman's uncle. When your uncle takes the money, he shout to you, "this is the fifth bitcoin I found this month."
Well, maybe the lyrics are a little different from your memory, but the bitcoin is really getting closer to our daily life.
Just last week - in January 23, 2018, the first bit of bitcoin trading in Italy was born, and a Chinese woman bought a house in bitcoin in Turin...
Not only Italy. Recently, a Japanese Real Estate Company announced that it began to accept bitcoin. According to CNN website, a Real Estate Company in Tokyo, Japan, named Yitanzi will sell a commercial building at the price of 547 bitcoins (about 6 million dollars) in the coming weeks. It is reported that this is the first use of bitcoin to sell buildings in Japan. In the context of virtual money buying, the company now accepts only bitcoin and may add other virtual currency as a payment currency in the future.
At the same time, the Brisbane International Airport, Australia's Queensland aviation hub, also announced that it began to support encrypted money payments, covering airport stores and cafes. Airline passengers can soon be able to use encrypted money at the shops and cafes at Brisbane Airport. Large retailers will accept several encrypted currencies, including bitcoins. The airport promises an "unprecedented digital currency experience".
