United Colors Of Benetton Starts Accepting STEEM In Lithuania (Along With Bitcoin, Ether and Dash)
According to a story published a few hours ago in Trustnodes, the Vilnius operation of the very well known clothes franchise United Colors of Benetton will start accepting payments in a few cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dash and, surprisingly, STEEM.
A co-founder of the Vilnius branch of UCB, Arturas Zuokas, said the following in a statement quoted by Trustnodes:
“In the future, payment by cryptocurrency will be available everywhere. We are pleased to announce that United Colors of Benetton in Vilnius are the first who will accept cryptocurrencies. We would like to support the idea of freedom and variety of different payment possibilities."
For those of you now knowing, Bankera, the spin-off of the well known crypto debit card provider Spectrocoin, which raised more than $100 million in one of the most successful ICOs so far, is also based in Lithuania.

nice set of cryptos.
funny, it's their choice or their payment processor one&
Yay! Go Steem :)
Do you know how they will accept it? I mean online shopping or in-store purchases?
Probably both, they must have the same payment processing platform.
Yay! I look forward to paying in crypto when I get back home!!!! And Benetton will get my business for the first time in years...
Well, that's great. That's a step up to he crypto world.
woah! that is seriously good news! love hearing about the adoption of crypto in mainstream life! and United Colors of Benetton is a huge brand!! Hopefully this spreads to their other locations and stores worldwide. :D
Yayyyy, good news ever for us crypto users, now soon whole world will accept crypto for business.
Lithuania will soon become the crypto paradise! At least some good news with all the market going down...
This is great news, especially for steem and steem holders. It gives an assurance of a promising future for steem and Cryptos as a whole.
Some positive news in this bearish market.
How incredibly cool is that? Not only are they accepting crypto generally, but specifically steem. That's a serious step forward for both.
Thanks for the news, I REALLY appreciate it this time.
