Digital payment became a necessity nowadays and bitcoin can suffice these needs. However, fiat can still do the same as credit cards that have a monetary value with a central bank. It is possible for bitcoin and fiat to be used in the market at the same time but once the global adoption happens people will still decide which one shall remain and which one shall be faced out and it won't be easy for bitcoin to replace fiat in terms of market value.
Though paying a passport is another hype of mass adoption of bitcoin but we can't be too complacent because it is still far from the reality in replacing fiat.

It is good to know that little by little and slowly but surely, Bitcoin is now being adapted in many services as a payment option specially at times like this where we practice to do things on a digital manner to execute less contact when doing transaction. It is so good to know specially for long time Bitcoin users for they can already acquire the advantage of paying passport renewals and other stuffs related through Bitcoin. We are now seeing a wide scope of range that Bitcoin can offer specially when it comes to being digital and for payment option as well. People and the government is already seeing the bright side of it upon issuing such service to use Bitcoin. This will surely widen the adaption of Bitcoin as we move forward into more digitalized era.
Bitcoin as payment for government services is a step forward in the growth of cryptomarket and it's market widening. By the time people who have been using bitcoin for a long make use of these services. Whenever something new is initiated, it needs to make some new members come into bitcoin usage. This can be achieved by providing reduction in payment for the service compared to the payment in the form of fiat
good news I am very happy to see the development of bitcoin in the country's economy. bitcoin is trusted by several companies, this is very influential on the price of bitcoin. We can see the development of the price of bicoin in the coming months, I am sure the price of bitcoin will be even more expensive.
Who is interested in this offer? I do not understand. This news may attract a few traders, but no more.
Bitcoin users are interested in using their bitcoin in a passport service. What do you want to understand? In this news, the customer could pay selected passport services using bitcoin.This is good news. Due to the pandemic, they added bitcoin as a mode of payment in selected passport services. May I know if they have other options for digital payments? If bitcoin is the only digital option available right now due to the pandemic, then many of their customers would buy bitcoin, and who knows, some of their customers would like to invest in bitcoin.
Addition of services is certainly very beneficial during a pandemic in order to reduce the use of paper money which is possible, including carrying transmission, but not necessarily with bitcoin because now every country has issued a lot of digital money, of course it is more practical to use in its own country. if traveling to other countries, of course bitcoin is very helpful.

Seems good, Never Expect something like this before. I mean we are basically already see some of tons project that have an "E-Commerce" Concept, Debit Card or something that connected with Traditional Financial but never Expect we can even Pay Passport using our crypto asset. Coinbase it's also have good growth this year, It's becoming gateway for everything that related to Cryptocurrency now. Looking forward for another Great news Like this, Thanks for sharing this one mate!
It is pretty amazing advancement of bitcoin as bitcoin now is like a virus that it slowly but surely spreading as days passes by
and now users can easily pay via bitcoin if they like to use Peninsula Visa services as they are now accepting bitcoin payment.
I am wondering if Peninsula Visa has partnered with Coinbase but as long as they are now willing to accept the payment in bitcoin then it is
a big advantage to all of us who uses bitcoin as we are now having plenty of options in using our bitcoin.

In our country, we're able to use Bitcoin to pay lots of things like our bills and tuition fees. We're even using it for online shopping. It's good to know other countries are now accepting passport payments through Bitcoin. I just wish that I could renew mine through it soon. Bitcoin is really making things more convenient for us. I'm sure that there will be more adoptions in the future.
It sounds good that bitcoin is being accepted for issuing a passport but I think a lot of people wouldn't opt for it.
Issuing a passport comes under the government and I believe everything that comes under the government officials should be done using the fiat currency.
You never know how it would turn against you. Bitcoin is good for purchasing products, services and other stuff on the internet.

Paying with bitcoin for passport is a good step forward. Bitcoin as a payment for name change, renewal and few other services might get followed by more other countries. Now these service providers will accept bitcoin through a third party and then pay the government in terms of fiat. Somehow this is good for bitcoin spreading.
This is definitely a good step for Bitcoin adoption. I remember that in 2018 I met all sorts of announcements of the purchase of citizenship of various banana republics, which are difficult to find on the map, and now 2 years have passed and now a US passport can be bought for bitcoins.
PayPal, US passport, who's next?
The company Peninsula Visa, which provides passport and visa services, announced to buy a U.S. passport for Bitcoin.
However, thanks to @Ratimov, for showing that this company, which provides passport services, can pay in Bitcoin.Related to the current pandemic, so we are a little limited from visiting outside the country, especially the US, Maybe after everything is safe the pandemic is gone and all citizens are free to visit every country, maybe, this company can come in handy.
I may have to temporarily save this company link, who knows in the future I will use it.
Bitcoin is slowly exploring many things to use, one of which is to pay for passports, it is not impossible that in the future Bitcoin will be widely used for many sectors in business, this will be great when bitcoin adoption is increasingly widespread.
For you it is slow? for me that is fast, faster than before. since this pandemic in know that a lot of people all over the world can now appreciate bitcoin and other crypto. compared to it in the previous years where it is hard to spend bitcoin, it is needed to cknvert first before you may use that, unlike now? there is a tons os opportunity and choices. So this is improving and price will rise up more even.
This is a good move. I think every country should follow this. I also think the cashless society where we have to pay in card or Bitcoin or something like this. In my country, govt is very restricted in using Bitcoin. So I am not getting it from my country for sure. But I appreciate it which country already agency accepted it for paying Bitcoin for issuing new passport.
I am very happy to see this news that Bitcoin has become a payment method for making passports, this is a very good step to make it easier for everyone to make passports with payments using bitcoin. Maybe in the future there will be many more surprises and other methods that are interested in using Bitcoin in payments, So let's see how the development of other methods will happen.
People are beginning to realize the importance of digital payment which is way better and more convenient than fiat, the convenience of paying with digital payment can not be over emphasize, within seconds your transaction have been confirmed, no too much hustle, between btc is getting popular on a daily basis, we can't deny it but PayPal news still plays a role in this, and as I have always say, more will keep coming because they wouldn't want to be left out of this new trend.
When big companies like Paypal announce the support for the bitcoins, many other companies will follow it. This is what exactly happened here and we will continue to see bitcoin being accepted vastly. Also the payment with crypto currencies is far more cheaper and easier than the fiat.
This is good and I’m happy about it. But why do you all keep saying things like ‘the pandemic is what has pushed people to start making use of Bitcoin’, like there are no other safe payment methods that are even more that they can use? Don’t forget that there are payment methods like Square Inc. that a lot of companies are making use of to accept payments with their business online.
When they accept Bitcoin they are not doing it because of the pandemic, it simply because they are starting to understand Bitcoin, what this advancement is all about. When you started making use of Bitcoin nothing forced you, you did it on your own, and that’s the same thing with them.

I just hope that the Philippines would adopt the same because most of the transactions here in the country are P2P for buying products and services online. Only a handful of physical stores are accepting Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies here in the Philippines for now (mostly in National Capital Region area). Unfortunately for me, I've already renewed mine last year which is good for 10 years.

Every week had turned out to be good these recent months, or should I say all what we preach since 2009 is now manifesting. It just matters time and everything transaction in the world would require an option of choosing Btc or Fiat. There is an ongoing thread by filippone showing bitcoin treasuries which shows how huge amount of bitcoin had been purchased by different companies. I'm pretty sure more adoption will take place in the coming future.
Maybe we're heading to a global adoption soon, early this year good stories started flowing into the industry and shortly before the ease of the knockdown(during the slow down of the virus) the PayPal news surfaced and withing some few weeks US passport can be obtained with bitcoin, what a wonderful year is 2020, a year to remember, no wonder is a unique year. Satoshi N was and still a living legend for this invention that's bringing the world into a freedomnomic state, hope to see more merchants and vendors accepting this Bitcoin as payment method.

We always want a progressive movement for bitcoin and this is a good example for that.
Adopting bitcoin in many kinds of transactions are really effective and useful to make bitcoin community grow more.
Can you imagine, you can pay your passports with bitcoin when you want to make one? That's really a good sign that bitcoin is approaching the mainstream and it is getting more popular in some businesses. It is really rare look for a third party that allows bitcoin to be transacted. Hopefully, bitcoin adoption of businesses should continuously grow.
It only keeps getting better with each passing day. This just provides another option for people who would use their services. As more and more platforms turned to Bitcoin and other cryptos for payments, It will definitely lead to mass adoption and with the way things are going, it won't be long until that happens. It's just a matter of time before more companies get on board the bandwagon. In the near future, almost everything will be available for people to either buy or sell.
Admiring news, shows that something good is happening every day to let btc keep its rally on as it is getting a new reason daily to carry on. Using btc to pay for our passport means btc is now getting involved in the centralized systems and this is very good, they will know about the legend of btc now and inspire unaware people to know more about it and use it. More and more adoption every day, I am glad.
This is a great news for the Bitcoin and it seems like awareness about Bitcoin is reaching the relevant departments and businesses as we are hearing acceptance of Bitcoin by businesses everyday and this is definately a sign of acceptance but still there would always be a challenge of stability and fluctuations and I am not sure how business owners or government institutions are going to cope up with the financial deficits which will be caused due to volatility.
Bitcoin is slowly adapted by the community and it is a matter of time where people will decide whether to use the fiat currency or the cryptocurrency. This like a centralized currency mix by the decentralized currency. For me, this is not a bad idea because there is no perfect system if it is an absolute like absolute centralization system the same thing with absolute decentralization system (vice versa). A good system for an efficient and effective system to be used should be a mixed of decentralized and centralized system.
and it is good right? quite impressive. We can use bitcoin to travel, this is what we cannot do in the past years but now we can do it, we can see that as time passes by people are adapting the technology and they are also get interested in crypto and its benefits.
It is just by before crypto keep dominating everywhere. If bitcoin can believably used to pay for a passport services and I am very sure we are close to seen it being used frequently in many other sectors and even in government own establishment. What so ever make them to take this step, I am very sure the current price surge and also adoption by paypal might have an impact in making them consider bitcoin too
This is cool and all, but it isn't it time for people on this forum (at least) to not be surprised when a company finally decides to accept Bitcoin for payment? I'm not trying to be snarky, i know it's coming across that way. But we've been preach adoption for at least 5 years (really longer, but trying to be fair here). The only news here is that a new company has finally seen the light.
Also...how much are these decisions from business owners to accept bitcoin related to their belief that accepting bitcoin will increase their business as opposed to their will to own bitcoin themselves and recognizing that facilitating bitcoin payments could allow them to avoid reporting taxes on the sale (like taking cash for payment).
It's all good...just think we need to mature our expectations!

PayPal, US passport, who's next?

Whenever there is a momentum in the price you would see these kind of announcements, in 2013 there was a massive adoption where many online companies started accepting BTCitcoin then it died down because of the transaction delays and the fees and now we are hearing these again. PayPal, US passport, who's next?
If PayPal allows you to withdraw the coins then i would see that as an adoption, hopefully they will allow that in the future, when it comes to passport even if my countries passport authority starts accepting BTCitcoin i would pass that offer

It's great that bitcoin is becoming widely accepted. The adoption of bitcoin is increasing which is a good news for us. If we can pay bitcoin for getting a passport then it will become easy and hassle free, you do not have to line up to get a passport.

Im expecting that everybody would go in line when it comes to Bitcoin adoption.It is really good to see that they are already recognizing its existence.
Sooner or later we would really be seeing that lots of merchants, services will be accepting this mode of payment.
This is what we want for these kind of news.It do somehow give some boost up and you can really have that positivity that we would really be seeing bitcoin
for more future years due to this acceptance or recognition of services.
