Football Fans will be able to pay with bitcoin for their accommodation when they visit Russia for this year’s World Cup. Hotels in Kaliningrad, expecting guests from eight countries, are partnering with a local payment provider to offer the service. Booking a room for the day when England plays Belgium will cost approx. $300 in fiat.
This is great news. An event like the World Cup will bring an incredible exposure to Bitcoin. It's a big step for Bitcoin to be recognized as world standard currency. What an amazing news.  I expect that some people and the media will cover this huge boost for Bitcoin.
