Wordpress.com started accepting bitcoins

WordPress.com is one of the most popular hosting platforms, which ranks 20th in the ranking of the largest Internet sites Alexa top 100, and which services are used by 56 million blogs, now accepts bitcoins. Basic WordPress.com services are free, and by paying, you can get rid of ads or use custom design. Traditional payment systems have many restrictions, for example, PayPal is not available from more than 60 countries, many payment cards also do not work everywhere. This is contrary to the company's mission - to provide a platform for publication to everyone, without any restrictions.

Bitcoin by its nature does not allow to block payments - anyone can use an anonymous currency. Payment processing provides BitPay . WordPress.com strives to simplify and speed up payments as much as possible, so payment is made instantly, without waiting for confirmation from the Bitcoin network. In addition, despite the fact that Bitcoin does not have a refund mechanism, WordPress guarantees a refund on its own.

The course of Bitcoin for about four months keeps around 10 - 12 dollars. It looks like crazy jumps (in June last year, the rate jumped above $ 30, and fell to 2–3 by autumn) already in the past, and now, finally, the cryptocurrency begins to be used for its intended purpose, and not for speculation.
