At the moment, the World Cup organized in Russia excited football fans with exciting moments. But this tournament also offers a good opportunity to get to know Russia. Hundreds of thousands of fans from all over the world visit Russia through this tournament, making various memories, spending. These payments are usually made via bank or credit cards. Some news sources reported that the World Cup in Russia was a crypto money-friendly tournament. For this reason, crypto-money is a lot of shops in Russia that accept payment by crypto money even though it is not regulated legally. In this article we will also talk about how to pay for the major services / products in Russia with crypt money.
A restaurant called Valenok, which focuses on Russian cuisine, was one of the first places in Moscow to accept crypt money payments. A customer paid for this account at the beginning of the year using Bitcoin, which was shared by many local news sources.
Recently, a group of entrepreneurs went to Russia and tried to find a place where they could pay for their crypt money during their travels. The group who visited the restaurant Valenok for the first time described the people living here as follows:
"I told the store that we wanted to go to the restaurant and reserve a table for myself and my friends from Serbia, but we wanted to pay with Bitcoin. At first he seemed a little surprised by this claim but wanted to wait a while. 'We have accepted payment with Bitcoin a few times here, but we have to ask if we are still doing it.' After about 30 seconds, he returned and apologized, saying, "We do not accept crypto money at this point, we can pay by credit card or cash." According to Victoria, he could start getting re-crypt money, but there was nothing definite. "
The group, which did not get lucky in their first experiment, then visited a farmer's cooperative called Lavka Lavka. According to Lavka Lavka's site, these products can be bought with Bitcoin.
The entrepreneurs who tried their luck here did not find what they were looking for, but they heard something interesting from the director of the shop. Lavka Lavka's response to entrepreneurs is as follows:
“Maalesef geçici olarak Bitcoin kabul etmiyoruz. Ama internet üzerinden her türlü ürün karşılığında kendi kripto paramız olan BioCoin ile ödeme yapabilirsiniz. BioCoin’i bir kripto para borsası üzerinden alabilir ya da faturanın ne kadar kabarık bağlı olarak bonus olarak kazanabilirsiniz.”
Since the entrepreneurs who visited the shop did not own BioCoin, they paid the account using plastic card. This so-called BioCoin can also be used as a payment tool and stored in mobile wallets. They can also be spent to pay for certain products / services as the shopkeepers say. At the moment a BioCoin has a price of $ 0.007.
The group, which did not find exactly what it was looking for here, went to a different place this time and succeeded this time. Entrepreneurs use the QR code they received from the place they visited to transfer the crypto money in their wallets to the place.
The entrepreneurial group also tried to book a room at SPBinn in Saint Petersburg using Bitcoin and they were successful. The only thing they did was to send the crypt money in their wallets to the hotel's purse and then ask the manager to ask if the process came.
Those who visited the country through the World Cup managed to pay for the crypt money in a few places, but their chances went a long way. At the moment, even in the most central part of Moscow, it is difficult to find a place to pay for crypto money, even if we do not mention small cities. Also, according to the entrepreneurs visiting the country, many fans who follow the tournament live now pay with cash or credit card methods instead of crypt money.
Daria Generalova, the founding partner of ICOBox, which offers the world's broadest range of SaaS solutions for ICO preparation, commented on the shared visibility of entrepreneurs visiting Russia:
"It's a pleasure to see some shops trying to do business with crypto money. This proves that we are not bogged down and that we are really improving in the sector. Of course we can not say that crypto money is used everywhere in the World Cup but we can see serious changes in Europe and Russia in two years. Digital money will be subject to legal regulations and people will begin to understand how these funds are used. "
