In its 10 years of operation, Bitcoin has registered high demand and adoption by institutions, businesses, hotels, countries and many other entities. Now, the Great Lakes Science Center, a giant museum and educational complex in Cleveland, Ohio, has officially declared that it will start accepting Bitcoin (BTC) as a payment method from Tuesday, November 13, 2018. The institution will use BitPay when processing transactions.
The CEO of Great Lakes Science Center, Kirsten Ellenbogen, revealed that the aim of accepting cryptocurrency is to facilitate growth and development of the local blockchain technology industry.
“There is a lot of excitement around cryptocurrency. Accepting bitcoin is just a small part of the momentum to grow a blockchain ecosystem in Cleveland,” Kirsten said.
This major development by Great Lakes Science Center follows the efficacious integration of Bitcoin by Hublot, a Swiss premium watchmaker, to sell over 210 pieces of its BTC-themed sports watch each costing $25,000, whereby it collected a revenue of over $5.25 million in the overall sales made using Bitcoin.
