RTP Apparel, New Philadelphia, Ohio, has become the first known industry vendor to accept Bitcoin as payments for its ready-to-print direct-to-garment T-shirts.
Bitcoin is an “alt-currency” that can be used as a medium of exchange, just as flat currency (i.e. United States dollars). It is not backed by a central bank or government, but by a completely decentralized network of computers that verify transactions. To learn more about Bitcoin, click here.
Customers can purchase RTP Apparel shirts using Bitcoin only on the company’s website, found here. — J.L.
