Now Michael Cargill wants to offer Bitcoin fans a more legal way to buy a deadly weapon with cryptocurrency. In January, Cargill’s Austin firearm shop and training center Central Texas Gunworks began accepting Bitcoin as an alternative to dollars for all sales, making his store the first legal Bitcoin-friendly firearm retail business in the country, if not the world. He also sells guns for Bitcoin online, opening up his business to bitcoiners around the country. And he’s even installed a Bitcoin ATM in the store’s front room that allows anyone to instantly trade dollars for Bitcoin or vice versa.”
