Bitmart has just been launched a New Zealand’s first online virtual currency store. The online store has a large variety of electronics, snacks and “household consumables” that could not have previously been bought with Bitcoin in New Zealand. Bitmart offers goodies like Twinkies, jam, gummy bears, and also computer supplies, and other electronic gadgets.

The launch of the online digital currency store was anticipated by residents in the country. Initial response from a potential customer: “Good to finally see somewhere to spend my BTC (bitcoins) in New Zealand.”

Since the launch, Bitmart has seen ample amount of activity. Chris Dawson, Bitmart’s founder commented,

“The sheer volume of orders and positive feedback received in the short time since launch genuinely blew away all my expectations.”

Dawson believes in Bitcoin’s staying power, he continued,

“The enthusiasm of the growing Bitcoin community and their eagerness to help establish a thriving digital currency economy in New Zealand really solidifies my belief that Bitcoin is here to stay.”

Bitmart also accepts Dogecoin, a digital currency that began as a joke, as payment for its goods. Dogecoin has an enthusiastic and strong community that is both laid back and striving for the betterment of the digital currency.

By becoming New Zealand’s first online digital currency store, Bitmart aims to build the country’s digital currency economy. The store also hopes to become the first choice when shopping online.
