“Several Nashville businesses are embracing the currency as a way to cut costs and be a part of a new wave of technology. Nashville restaurant Flyte World Dining and Wine just stared accepting bitcoins this week, and has already processed a couple of transactions. Given the response on social media, Flyte co-owner Scott Sears expects to be able to report more transactions soon. Sears was encouraged to try the new technology by Bill Butler, former CEO of Telalink Corp., one of Nashville’s first Internet companies, and who more recently created the advocacy site Music City Bitcoins to promote the use of the currency among Nashville businesses.”
