Its hilarious how americanisation of the education became a norm. That kind of educationm makes people geographic skills so much noticably poor, that one wonder hows that even possible, to mistake a country with a land of a country. Austria is not the land of Germany. Its a country.

Outside of that, the idea of paying for the mining bill with the btc, is so obvious that most of the electric companies should be able to do that. The reason why that is not the case, shows that most of the mining are heavily concentrated in China and there is no heavy demand to save on paying the bills in Europe or elsewhere.

sorry but it is only available in german.

The energy provider EnergieAG in Austria (Central europe, south of germany and no kangaroos) started to accept BTC as payment.
Why I post this here and not in a german subforum? Because it is great news that a second big company (biggest food delivery service in Germany too) started to accept BTC in a few days. That is great news
Without a doubt this is a good news so it needs to be shared with all the forum, I get the impression that things are accelerating bitcoin is gaining momentum, I think soon enough thanks to segwit and the lightning network we will be able to begin to make payments in th real world and not only online.

Yeah mate, that is a great news hope one day there might be a company here in the Philippines that really accepts bitcoin as a payment especially if it's an energy provider it will be really a big help for other consumers that use bitcoins. That's why this time I really need to grow my bitcoins because I know someday many of other companies not only the energy providers maybe even malls may accept some bitcoin as payments or maybe even bills of other services, that will be a good start and other countries may do it the same.

A few years ago, people were saying if you cannot pay your utility bills with bitcoin, then it is not a real currency. We have seen more than one

company that allows you to do that now, so we are steadily moving forward towards mainstream adoption. I hope that we will seen more of this

type of news, as bitcoin adoption increase in the future. We just need to find a way to do this without using third party services.  Wink

Obviously, more acceptance for bitcoin payment and this is the real usability for people who wondering whether bitcoin could be used to pay their bills.
Even though some companies want to push bitcoin price because they invest on it, but that's what I'm going to do if I have some stores/merchants/company and I'm a bitcoiners. We do not have to convince retailers to accept bitcoin, ask the owners about bitcoin and if they feel it is profitable, then another retailer will accept bitcoin payment.

For those who keep saying GERMANY well it's AUSTRIA

I deeply appreciate the energy projects that receive bitcoin as their investment. Yes even though it is in germany. But that is very good news. All countries have seen bitcoin as an investment vehicle that needs to be taken into account. With the existence of such a project may encourage other project projects to use bitcoin as its investment. I think this is a great way to make bitcoin an alternative currency for those who want to make a profit. May the world see this news and make legal bitcoin all over the country

As the guy said above this process is in gray zone, but it's still promising in Europe. We see different companies are starting to accept bitcoin in exchange with the operations they performed.

I read in one article that bitcoin is not legit in Austria, how come the energy company accepts payments in bitcoin? If yes, it's great news for the future of bitcoin and this can trigger new acceptances.

There's no official classification and some grey areas, but for most basic use cases (accepting Bitcoin as a form of payment, using Bitcoin as an investment vehicle) there already have been official statements by the government / Austrian tax office on how to operate.

Actually Bitcoin future largely depends upon Bitcoin use cases. This indeed a good news in that direction. More the vendors and merchants will start accepting Bitcoin. More it will get into circulation and hence will increase the demand. So, the price. This is what Bitcoin meant for along with being an investment asset. Bitcoin was invented to double up as a currency and investment asset. But somehow we were lagging in making bitcoin a currency. These steps will change that perception.

This may be good news for people who are using bitcoin and may find that bitcoins are becoming increasingly popular and allowed to use, and maybe in the future there will be a lot of countries using bitcoin and this is probably Is something that many people use bitcoin desire.

Looks like other country are starting accepting bitcoin and this is one of the good news that can encourage other company and country can accept bitcoin as payment..  And hoping that here in my country bitcoin can be consider as money and acceptable in some store even not a big company is enough for me just there are some shops that can accept bitcoin as payment..
No doubt this is very good for the bitcoin and the bitcoin users if other countries accept the bitcoin as a mode of payment but honestly speaking if it is true.
Anyone here could send me some information about what OP said ? Any authentic source has declared it yet ? If yes then it is a great support to the bitcoin and surely a great achievement of the bitcoin.

By looking at this news, perhaps bitcoin is a step closer to its chance of becoming an official transactional tool everywhere. And it became one of the dreams of bitcoin users around the world. Perhaps nowadays there are still very few people who know and have bitcoin, but with the help of the media, I'm sure, bitcoin progress in the next years will be very rapidly along with the increase in value.

It a snowball, since Japan legalized bitcoin we can see a lot more companies accepting and allowing bitcoin payments, soo into 6 months/2 years i believe bitcoin will be present anywhere as well being an optiong into the online market something most companies arent yet working and allow


It's a nowball what we expect for several years. Japan light the fire first, and the rest will follow. That energy provider looks a small step for bitcoin, but it can trigger much more attention.

Would be useful, in such small cases. At one point, anyone could mine and use the energy to pay the bills. Flawless.

Is it just me or is the US still slipping behind on BTC adoption? Dont get me wrong all adoption is good. Just seems to be another are where the US lags.

Sure USA is center for many things I would say it is country which is gaining most power because centralization. So Bitcoin is biggest threat for them.
