Welcome to Bitcoin Tuesday!
Every Tuesday, I introduce a restaurant, café, or shop that accepts Bitcoin (or other cryptocurrencies) — to show that crypto isn’t just for holding, it’s for everyday payments.
If you’re a Hive user, thanks to V4V you can easily convert HIVE or HBD into Lightning-BTC and use it at participating locations.

💡 Why This Place Rocks
- It’s a tech-forward dining venue: by accepting multiple cryptocurrencies and offering a discount for crypto payments, Okra Kitchen stands out as a pioneer in the F&B scene.
- The combination of Japanese-inspired cuisine, natural sake and a gritty-cool Hong Kong izakaya setting makes it interesting for locals, travellers and crypto-enthusiasts alike.
- For those wanting to pay with Bitcoin (or other cryptos) while dining in Asia’s financial hub, this is a concrete real-world opportunity.
🌍 Crypto-Friendliness of Hong Kong
Here’s some context on how crypto payments are emerging in Hong Kong:
- Okra Kitchen decided to accept cryptocurrencies partly as a response to high bank/processing fees and pandemic pressures — switching to crypto payments to reduce fees and open new customer-payment channels. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
- While Hong Kong still has regulatory and banking challenges around crypto payments, establishments like Okra show that adoption is possible and happening in the hospitality sector.
- The fact that multiple major coins are accepted (BTC, ETH, BNB, XRP, BUSD) indicates a broad crypto-acceptance approach, not just token gimmick. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
- For any Hive-based crypto-community members visiting Hong Kong, this provides a real example of using crypto in everyday dining rather than only investing/trading.
