Passengers will be able to pay at the airport with digital currencies such as Bitcoin, Dash, Ethereum and others.


The Brisbane Airport in Australia, one of the largest in the world, announced the introduction of a payment system using cryptocurrencies. (Source: https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/5468626/brisbane-airport-shops-will-accept-bitcoin-from-passengers-soon/)

Passengers will be able to pay at the airport with digital currencies such as Bitcoin, Dash, Ethereum and the like. The cryptocurrencies will be accepted in several shops, and then in all terminals of the airport.

The Brisbane Airport's statement notes that such a payment method allows to maintain anonymity and to do without intermediaries, due to which a low commission and a favorable exchange rate are possible.

The success of the Brisbane Airport going through with their plan may also make other major airports around the world accept cryptocurrencies as a method of payment, therefore increasing adoption of the technology.

Do keep in mind that security should be taken very seriously as the airport Wifi networks are not exactly known to be the most private and secure.

Your post is very knowledge ful thank you for sharing the post

Bitcoin revolution! Can't wait for the day where almost everything can be transacted using cryptos. :)

Oh ya... wages as well perhaps...haha

Big yes! But we should have the option when we want to claim our wages so that we can claim it when cryptos are down :D

This news is so encouraging. Yesterday saw some news from the NEO Talk DevCon about a protocol that increases the speed of transactions. It is Trinity Network Credit (TNC). The demonstration between two mobile phone accounts was very impressive

the magnificent airport of my friend. I really love to go to that airport my friend ..

now I have an extra reason to check out Australia, I have been hearing it from a long time that commerce is been very open to receive crypto as a payments for a while... That makes me think more and more about checking out the place without worrying about currency conversion. great post!!! thank you for sharing it

This is fantastic to see. Every little bit helps spread the word and normalize digital currencies!

So you will pay 20 bucks for a water and will miss your flight because you are waiting for bitcoin transfer to confirm... haha

But you do not have to use Bitcoin. You can use any of the faster confirming cryptocurrencies.

haha yeah ofc was meant sarcastically ;)

Well, once you have confirmed the transaction, you cannot cancel it. All you have to do is present it to the vendor (or the vendor can check it thru the blockchain) and you're free to go.

Wow! nice post.. Thanks for giving the news.. I like your post very much.. Keep it up.. Stay blessed be happy.. Thank you.. @johurul720
