“A bistro has become the first restaurant in Scotland to accept online currency Bitcoin as payment. The Brooklyn Cafe lets customers settle their bills using the internet-based digital currency system. The idea was the brainchild of manager Jonny McDonald, who has worked at the cafe for 13 years. The family-run business, in Glasgow’s Shawlands, started accepting the payment system in late December and made their first Bitcoin transaction last week when a customer settled his £42 – or 0.06938312 Bitcoin – bill.”
