“As Ridge completes the work, it will quote payment in Canadian dollars and Vancouver-based Alix will convert the price into the digital currency, Alix Chief Executive Officer Michael England, 50, said in a phone interview. ‘We are a mining exploration company so yes, this is a bit different,’ he said. ‘There’s a lot of expectations that Bitcoins are going higher, so why not start accumulating?’ Alix has also teamed up with a software vendor to operate a Bitcoin exchange. Depending on the success of the venture, Alix may shift its focus to Bitcoins entirely, England said. ‘We want to take advantage of this niche, this explosive sector,’ he said.”
