This is pretty awesome for Adoption in Australia, because the cryptocurrency exchange Bitcoin.com.au has made buying Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) possible in more than 1,200 newsstands across Australia starting today March 1st! I'm super happy to hear this, I know it's news stands and that seems a strange place for it, but 1200 physical locations you can go to & buy Crypto now that's pretty cool. I'm linking some quotes from an article I found about this...





Rupert Hackett, CEO of Bitcoin.com.au, sees introducing BTC and ETH for purchase in more in familiar retail environments as a way to make people more comfortable with cryptocurrencies in general:



“The fact that you can now buy Bitcoin and Ethereum from the same place you purchase soft drinks and stationery really speaks to how institutionalised cryptocurrency has become [...] For anyone who has hesitated about buying Bitcoin because it all seemed too complicated, this is the perfect setup that takes the fear factor out of investing in digital currencies."

In order to buy crypto from a participating Australian newsstand, consumers need to first acquire a crypto wallet, and then scan their wallet’s QR code with the newsstand’s iPad mini. The exchange has set up a minimum buy of 50 AUD (about $39 USD) worth of BTC or ETH.

Hackett told 9Finance that he expects customers to receive their Cryptocurrency within an average of 20 minutes.

We'll see how this all unfolds, but this is positive news and great for the Cryptocurrency space...Enjoy the knowledge!
