Customers in Austria Can Now Buy Bitcoin and Altcoins at their Post Office!
A very positive development recently occurred in Austria where they are now able to buy Bitcoin and other altcoins simply by making a purchase at one of the many post offices in the country.
Bitpanda recently created a partnership that became effective on July 11, and Österreichische Post later confirmed the news in an email with CoinDesk.
Now as a result Austrians and people of other nationalities can simply walk into the post office and buy denominations of €50, €100 and €500 vouchers at 400 official branches of the postal company, as well as its 1,300 partners across the country. The vouchers can then be redeemed for cryptocurrencies through Bitpanda's online platform.
Final Thoughts
This is huge news for Bitcoin and although the market may not reflect this yet because of uncertainty over Segwit 2x changes in Bitcoin and the potential of a forking situation that nobody is quite sure about how will pan out, the effect of this news has not yet been priced into the market I believe.
It's an amazing time for cryptocurrencies that are slowly gaining mass awareness and acceptance. It's only a matter of time until the whole financial system is tilted upside down as a result. Keep following these developments and looking for good entry points.
