Bitcoin & Litecoin Adoption gets a Luxury Boost, ATMs Ready for a Big Kick
Cryptocurrency adoption is constantly on the rise. Bitcoin and Litecoin are being accepted by Surf Air Express for membership. Recently, luxury watch manufacturer Hublot also unveiled its limited edition watch that can only be purchased with Bitcoin. Meanwhile, Bitcoin ATMs are close to crossing 4k worldwide with another boost coming with Germany’s only regulated trading venue for digital currencies acquiring a bank.
Pay for Luxury with Bitcoin & Litecoin
Bitcoin and Litecoin can also be used to pay for air travels as Surf Air Express announced Surf Air Express X Cryptocurrency.
Surf Air Express basically arranges travel and other services solely as a manager of the Surf Air membership program and offers flight prices comparable to business and last-minute economy. The company is “now accepting Litecoin and Bitcoin for their Indiegogo campaign. Purchase your Surf Air Express Membership with cryptocurrency.”

Another boost came into the form of luxury watch manufacturer Hublot. In order to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Bitcoin, Big Bang Meca-10 P2P has been made available online for purchase that will cost USD$25,000.
Hublot is exploring these avenues in partnership with OSL, whose Chairman and co-founder Dave Chapman shares,
