Nice human interest story.

Quote
Jay Best walked into the Thelonious Monkfish restaurant in Cambridge’s Central Square earlier this month with no intention of paying for his sushi rolls with cash or a credit card. Best planned to settle the tab with bitcoin, a virtual currency used around the world to buy everything from baklava to marijuana.

Quote
“If we’re the first restaurant in New England accepting bitcoin, it’s a no-brainer,” said Jamme Chantler, owner of Thelonious Monkfish. “There’s a big group of people willing to drive 50 miles just to use it at my restaurant.”
