Here you can buy taco with bitcoin and litecoin

Nicolai's closest wall to Norway's biggest bank sells what he calls luxury couch and he accepts both bitcoin and litecoin as payment.

Digital currencies are traded for billions a day, but the values ​​look little at the stores.

Nicolai Bach Goldin still sticks up the stickers in the door showing that his taco restaurant Tacopop can make it more common to pay with crypto currency in Norway.

"We have made plans for franchise operations in Oslo, and we are planning to make sure that all new restaurants can have payment solutions for crypto currencies," says Goldin, general manager and who, together with his mother, Tina Back, started Tacopop.

A little widespread
"The reason we receive crypto currencies is two-fold, both because we who run Tacopop really believe in bitcoin and other digital currencies, and then it's fun to be a little ahead of the development.

Goldin and Tacopop use the Bitpay and Litepay solutions as using QR codes attached to your digital wallet, making you easy to pay with bitcoin and litecoin.

The software means that the price of the bitcoin is changing with the course, so that you can not pay in expensive judgments for a tacolefse.

He and her mother Tine Bach have been shopping for a while, and there was therefore no doubt that the restaurant they started would accept bitcoin.

"In the long run, we believe that this can be a preferred form of payment, but today it's really a gimmick," smiles entrepreneur Goldin.

In Oslo, Tacopop becomes one of the first to accept bitcoin, but both the cafe The Kasbah and Aktivisten Café have accepted bitcoin as a form of payment for a while, according to the overview of Norway's bitcoin and blockchain association.

On the internet there are also a number of Norwegian shops that open for payment with a crypto currency.

Warns stores
Another company that works to make bitcoin more common in daily life is Mikrobank, which until the banks set foot in September, deployed ATMs where you could put Norwegian kroner in exchange for bitcoin.

Bitcoin
Bitcoin is a digital person-to-person "currency", which, unlike conventional currencies such as pounds or pounds, is not issued or regulated by a central bank or supervisory authority.

All transactions are public and stored in a database all of the network can check. Cryptography assures security, and an easily accessible tracking story allows the money to be used only by the owner, and not several times.

A transaction is not valid until it is broadcast to others in the network, and recognized in a collective list of known transactions, called the block chain.

The idea is that transactions can take place almost anonymously, and without the authorities being able to intervene.

Bitcoin is issued by powerful computers solving difficult algorithms, these players are called "miners", or digital mining.

There are only 21,000,000 bitcoins in the world, and 16,895,525 of them are now in circulation.

The banks denied them after a few months of operation account at the bank, and the project is now paused. One of the leaders in Mikrobank, Haavard Ostermann, warns Tacopop and others who wish to use a crypto currency as a means of payment.

• We were discovered by the banks because we only drove with crypto currency. If you have a store with a big cash flow from other sources, it's probably easier to go under the radar. But I would not be too loud to bash that you're dealing with crypto currencies, which can put you in trouble with the banks, "says Ostermann.

He believes the banks think short-term when they put an end to the crypto industry.

"It is a societal problem that banks are allowed to slow innovation in such an important area. But cryptovaluta threatens the core business of traditional banks, so I realize that they do not even go for this. Here some visionary politicians must come to the field.

Mikrobank is waiting for the banks and regulations, but Ostermann says there are also work in Norwegian banks that can make use of the crypto letter.

"DNB may be the bank closest to establishing customer checkout procedures for crypto trading in Norway, so there is hope for a solution, but we do not know when.
