Let us remind you some memorable moments of accepting crypto. Cryptocurrency is the best alternative to traditional fiat currency, it is very viable to use as payment for cross border transactions as well. Cryptocurrencies truly allow for a universal and global system of finance that connects people across border payments. Unfortunately, after massive downturn in market cap, people paused accepting crypto, yet, now it is high time to resume the tendency.

The giant distributor thinks that cryptocurrency payment systems  “match the functionality of traditional fiat currency” and they go beyond traditional transaction processors in terms of “efficiency, accessibility, and security.” The CEO and founder of H&M Distributors, Herb Needham, stated that: “After more than 20 years in the business, we consider ourselves experts in specialty lighting. Accepting cryptocurrency payments allows us to share that expertise with even more clients by removing many of the barriers that made it difficult to sell internationally before. What sold us was the settlement system, which allows us to convert crypto payments to a USD equivalent right away.” Subscribe to The Coin Shark news in Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coinshark/
