WHAT IS BITCOIN?

Paying with Bitcoin allows for an easy, secure and private way for you to send us a payment, without middle men or banks.

Bitcoin is an internet currency that uses secure lines of code to ensure that they cannot be manipulated in the way banks manipulate hard currency. It has led to a free and decentralized currency available to anyone and everyone worldwide with internet access.

There are many advantages of using Bitcoin over traditional payment methods. For instance, using Bitcoin makes it easier and safer to send money across the internet, as there are no third-parties that incur their own costs.
