“At David’s Antiques on Royal Street in the French Quarter, the owners revel in the irony of running a store that sells old-fashioned relics using one of the most newfangled technologies to take payments, the digital currency Bitcoin. The 60-year-old shop began accepting Bitcoin, a subject of much recent media attention, in April, making David’s one of few small businesses in New Orleans participating so far. Another early New Orleans Bitcoin adopter is the Bywater restaurant Booty’s Street Food, an eatery based on co-owner Nick Vivion’s experiences as a travel journalist tasting food from street stalls around the world.”
