The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) released information on an application filed by UPS regarding their locker bank to accept bitcoin as a form of payment. A locker bank is another way of saying a safe deposit locker which is offered by banks. People and businesses pay to rent of the locker in advance for the financial year. The statement is as follows:
“In example embodiments, the locker bank may include a point-of-sale (POS) system for accepting payment from users in the form of: (1) a cash transaction; (2) a credit or debit card transaction; (3) a gift certificate; (4) an electronic payment, such as payment by Google Pay, Apple Pay, PayPal, Bitcoin; and/or (5) any other suitable type of payment.”
This could very well be an indicator that bitcoin is being taken seriously by major business. Regardless of all of the FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) spread by government, there seems to be interest. It may only be a matter of time before mass adoption.
Let me know what you think about this news and your predictions for the future of cryptocurrrency.
