RTP Apparel Leads an Industry First in Accepting Bitcoin for Payment
Dec 11, 2017
RTP Apparel has made another industry first, and quite possibly a world's first, in August of this year. RTP Apparel is thought to be the first in the apparel industry worldwide to accept Bitcoin for payment of the DTG industry's first Ready To Print T-Shirts that require no pretreatment.
Bitcoin is a technological "cryptocurrency" that is not backed by any central bank or government but by a completely decentralized network of computers that verify transactions. Bitcoin has recently made headlines in the mainstream news with the rapid rise of its value since the start of 2017, rising from $997.69 a coin January 1st to briefly over $19,000 per coin on December 7th, 2017. Bitcoin is often referred to as an alternate currency and has been a favorite of technophiles since its creation in 2009 by the unknown person or persons only knows as Satoshi Nakamoto.
RTP Apparel shirts can be purchased via Bitcoin only on the RTP Apparel website at www.rtpapaprel.com.
