Litecoin (LTC) Gets Accepted by the ‘High’ Community
Not long ago, Litecoin Foundation started the #PayWithLiteCoin campaign and the Foundation is pushing the campaign to make LTC an acceptable payment option everywhere money is accepted. However, Litecoin’s quick, and effective payment has fallen into favour of an online community, and have decided to accept Litecoin as a payment option.
Weedmaps, has come open about its intention to accept Litecoin as a payment option for delivery of packages. Weedmaps is an online community for marijuana users which also delivers marijuana. The legal small private delivery service community has come open about their fondness for Litecoin and announced that individuals in the community can now pay for services using Litecoin.
The announcement was made by the founder of Weedmaps, Justin Hartfield who in his opinion stated that Litecoin will serve a better purpose in the Cannabis industry than Bitcoin. This may not be the biggest integration of Litecoin into a business, but it generally is a good sign, showing the effectiveness of Litecoin’s payments and the progress of Litecoin’s payment.
