– In a year that has seen some parts of the traditional financial world
embrace Bitcoin, it’s only fitting that other, less buttoned-up
industries would take up cryptocurrency as well.
In that vein, Monero announces that 45 musicians, plus five other online
stores, will be accepting the privacy coin this holiday season and
offering discounts to those paying in the cryptocurrency.
The full list covers a wide range of artists, from Weezer to G-Eazy, from Slayer to the B-52s, from Dolly Parton to Morrissey.
Other big name artists include Backstreet Boys, Kaskade, Lana Del Rey, Lumineers, Marilyn Manson, Motley Crue and Sia.
Monero (XMR) is an open-source cryptocurrency created in April 2014 that focuses on fungibility, privacy and decentralization.
