According to this article, Japanese Budget Airlines are going to accept bitcoins this year. They declared that later this year we can now enjoy flights without bringing our wallets but our bitcoins in our smartphones. As part also of their new innovation they have installed BTMs or Bitcoin ATM on the airport for the convenience of their customers. With this we can expect an increase in tourist visits to Japan.

Bitcoin ATM? How would that be? I mean, what would you withdraw? That confuses me a lot.

On the other hand, it's a big step for bitcoin (and imo, for cryptocurrencies in general) to be accepted by a big company such as an airline. Bitcoin has a bright future Smiley
