The Cinema has now become the world’s second cinema to accept Bitcoin payments.As a matter of fact, Major CinePlex group , movie theatre chain in Thailand was the first to receive Bitcoin payments from it’s customers. Furthermore, Cine Multi has signed a deal with Bancryp app, which will allow customers to make payments in crypto.
In 2018, João Amoêdo, one of the presidential candidates expressed his thoughts on cryptocurrencies. Besides, Amoêdo notes:
As a means of payment, I see no doubts that Bitcoin can be understood as a legal payment method. If both parties want to exchange a product via bitcoin, I do not see any legal barriers to doing so.
