virtual currencies. This phenomenon is distinct from the Blockchain revolution which deserves an entire section alone.
Bitcoin is now entering people’s everyday lives, it seems, as the first bitcoin-powered coffee machine is now available. The creator of the innovative technology is Ricardo Reis, an entrepreneur from Brazil. The idea behind the Bitcoin-coffee machine is to show that Bitcoin can actually be used as money that can be programmed to do different things, for example, make coffee.
The story broke on social media after a video of the coffee machine goes viral. The video was first posted on Facebook’s BTC group. The machine gets activated whenever a specific amount of BTC enters the machine’s wallet.
The machine has a QR code which allows the users to send over the funds and pay for some coffee. Only thing that is required to trigger the process is an internet connected device and of course, a BTC wallet.
