“As the operation manager for local apartment complex Chateau Jacques, James Christina decided to accept Bitcoin as a method of rent payment in November. Christina said that the transaction fees are minimal. ‘If I were to accept $1,000 worth, it’s like less than one percent cost, whereas with credit cards, it’s about three percent across the board.’ Locally, marketing company Dezins Interactive, False River Fencing, a construction company from New Roads and Baton Rouge law firm Dore Jeansonne also use Bitcoin. Real estate attorney Bryan G. Jeansonne started accepting digital currency Bitcoin from clients for 2014.”
