The Free Keene Project Manages to Persuade a Slew of Mom-n-Pop Shops to Accept Cryptocurrencies
New Hampshire is widely known as the âfree stateâ for its lack of taxation, and the growing number of libertarians moving there to make the region live up to its motto âlive free or die.â Furthermore, areas like Keene are well known for being very cryptocurrency friendly with a multitude of merchants, bitcoin radio ads, and BTMs. More recently the Free Keene Projectâs blog revealed the group has been pushing digital asset adoption like crazy, and this week the website announced they have managed to get a slew of mom-n-pop businesses to accept BTC and Dash.
âLongtime readers here know that Keene and Portsmouth New Hampshire are two hotspots in the world of cryptocurrency,â explains the Free Keene Project. âThough real-life crypto usage is not all about delicious handmade pizza, BBQ, Indian food, burgers, or alcoholic beverages that you can buy with crypto in downtown Keene, itâs also about products and services.â
The Free Keen Project says, âKeene defeats major cities in per-capita businesses accepting crypto.â
Vape Shop & Dental Work
The libertarian group explains the regionâs new vape shop, Lineage Vapors, is accepting BTC and Dash for any of the storeâs products. Additionally, the Curry Indian Restaurant which serves Pakistani and Indian cuisine seven-days-a-week will be accepting the two cryptocurrencies as well. The blog post also notes that the digital currencies will also help the Indian restaurantâs owners send remittances to their family members without using a third-party institution.
Dr. Drower accepts BTC and Dash for dental services.
The free state crew of libertarians further detail that people can use digital currencies for dental services and the resident office of Dr. Drower Dentistry will be accepting cryptocurrency-paying patients. âFor digital coin to become useful in everyday life people need to be able to use it as currency, for something besides speculative investing.â
Automotive Work, Pizza, and a New Hairstyle
The free state continues to help push the ideas of liberty across the land and many of the residents believe cryptocurrencies will be one of the tools that can help circumvent the state. The Free Keene Project also details that many of the businesses work with a Portsmouth-founded merchant point-of-sale crypto processor called Anypay.global. The area also has a bunch of other merchants like Little Zoeâs Pizza that accepts digital assets for pies and people in need of car repair can use cryptos at Wilder Automotive.
Additionally, the Free Keene Project says that Main Streetâs Moda Suo, a hair salon that accepted BTC in the past using merchant services through Coinbase, is now dropping them and switching to Anypayâs point-of-sale system. Moda Suoâs owner Nicholas Sansone will now accept BTC and Dash payments for services.
