Recently I decided to take a work around my neighborhood since I am on holiday. I have just walked a few distance when I saw an inscription on a particular wine shop. It reads Bitcoin Accepted Here. It was like a dream come true because I have never seen a physical business accepting Bitcoin. I have come across some online, but never seen something like this wine shop in my whole life.



I quickly rushed into the shop and asked the cashier if what is written is true and she told me that I can buy any wine with Bitcoin. But the she has to call her boss who was not around for us to carryout the transaction since she knows nothing about Bitcoin. I was not happy because her boss have not taught her how to receive payments in Bitcoin. I had to take these memorable pictures and promised to come back later to buy maybe a bottle of wine.

 

Although some countries have Bitcoin ATMs and countless businesses that accepts Bitcoin. But in my country such businesses are rare and I have never seen or heard of any Bitcoin ATM in my country. Maybe it might be because of the restrictions placed on Bitcoin by the Central Bank, but I am glad that businesses are taking advantage of the opportunities that Bitcoin offers. Gradually my area would have more Bitcoin friendly businesses.

    

Maybe if you are visiting Nigeria, just note that you can buy wine with Bitcoin from a physical wine shop.
