“An entrepreneur has opened the first shop in Europe where Bitcoins can be bought over the counter. Normally it can take weeks to set-up an account and purchase the digital currency over the internet – but Akin Fernandez simply prints off a voucher so they can be accessed immediately. The user then enters a 16-digit code and the Bitcoins are transferred to the designated virtual wallet within 70 seconds. Mr Fernandez, 51, has opened his Azteco shop in Shoreditch, central London, and hopes to set up similar outlets around the world. The entrepreneur likened his vouchers to Pay As You Go top ups for mobile phones.”
