“For entrepreneurs at the HuB, traditional dollars and cents may be going out of fashion. The business incubator in Sarasota will become the first vendor in Southwest Florida — and it says the first real estate landlord in the state — to officially accept a controversial new digital currency that is gaining popularity in other major markets. The HuB, and many of the 50-plus companies that call the downtown building home, now accept bitcoin as if it were cold, hard cash. They hope to set a trend for other businesses throughout the area to more widely accept the new method of payment.”
