Merchants Accepting Cryptocurrencies with Craig Rudes of the Long Island Blockchain Council
We’ve done a lot of shows on bitcoin and the blockchain and covered a lot of theory, but at the merchant level… the “boots on the ground payments level” we want to know how adoption and implementation is going.
