At a time when the cryptocurrency market is racing with the advent of futures, here are the bitcoiners welcome another good news: a major player will allow its customers to buy gold in bitcoins. APMEX has just announced via a press release that it now accepts Bitcoin as a means of payment for the purchase of gold.
Explanations of APMEX
According to the announcement made by the famous counter, he has partnered with the services of BitPay to receive digital currency instead of conventional currencies. APMEX states that:
"Buyers can shop with bitcoin anytime, as with most credit cards. "
"International orders are much easier because cryptocurrencies like bitcoin are accepted worldwide without conversion. "
The company emphasizes at the end that: "Customers prefer the payment system by BTC because of the anonymity offered by it." Thus, APMEX adapts to the growing needs of its customers by accepting bitcoin.
APMEX is not the only one
But we want to clarify that APMEX is not the first to offer to buy physical gold with bitcoin. Remember that last September, Sharps Pixley had already begun offering the same service to its customers, allowing them to trade BTCs for gold bars.
Degussa Goldhandel's company has thus paved the way for APMEX, and both are only contributing to the dazzling rise of cryptocurrency, As for bitcoin, it has never been so important in the financial market, and as the Cameron Winklevoss: "bitcoin is gold 2.0"
