They are all on a growing list of Irish businesses who will accept virtual currency Bitcoin from customers instead of euro. From Berlin record store Long Player to the Flower Lab, a florist in Santa Monica, California, more and more retailers are accepting Bitcoin as consumers increasingly buy into the currency, pushing up its value.

Within three weeks about 50 customers had used the facility, paying him by making a transfer with their smartphones.”
