“Cash, credit or…Bitcoin? Toowoomba barbershop owner Mitch Brownlie is bringing in a cutting-edge method of payment to his businesses – the online currency of Bitcoins. Mr Brownlie said his interest in the currency had come from the inconvenience of handling cash as a business owner. ‘You always have to worry about the cash, getting it to the bank. Getting both shops down to the bank, every day, is really inconvenient. Realistically, people get their wages direct into account, Centrelink directly into their account, why not pay directly from there?’ To pay by Bitcoin, a customer would scan a QR code at the salon with their smart phone.”
