“The five Brooklyn businesses owned by Dan Lee’s family — including the Boerum Hill restaurant Oxford Kitchen — accept bitcoins and even offer a 10-percent discount for those customers who use them. ‘I thought it was kind of a novel idea,’ said Lee, the restaurant’s business manager. Only a small number of businesses accept bitcoins, but there are also online businesses that take them. For the first six months, not a single customer paid with bitcoins at Oxford Kitchen, but it seems now, the concept has caught on and roughly five customers a day pay for their purchases with bitcoins, Lee said.”
