Massive news to Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash and crypto!

AT&T, one of the major mobile carriers on the US, just added Bitcoin (BTC) and BitcoinCash (BCHABC) as a payment option for bills.

The processing will be done through BitPay.

I got into crypto a few years ago. The feeling was mixed between approval and rejection… and that made it difficult to stick around.

Fast forward to 2019, crypto is gaining ground, recognition, and adoption. Whatever ignorants say, whatever skeptics claim, it’s here to stay.

Here is the press release:

AT&T* will now accept online bill payments through BitPay, a respected cryptocurrency payment processor. AT&T becomes the first major U.S. mobile carrier to provide a cryptocurrency payment option to customers.

“We’re always looking for ways to improve and expand our services,” said Kevin McDorman, vice president, AT&T Communications Finance Business Operations. “We have customers who use cryptocurrency, and we are happy we can offer them a way to pay their bills with the method they prefer.”

Customers will be able to select BitPay as a payment option when they log on to their accounts online or with the myAT&T app.
