Dash Announces New Partnerships at BTCMiami

GoCoin

Expect to see a lot of this. Bitcoin sucks to use. Dash is one of the handful of coins that has been tested over time and is fast and cheap enough to be accepted for digital payments where both parties are happy with the outcome. Though many places still accept Bitcoin, I think a lot of them will switch to using the faster, low cost currencies such as Dash or Litecoin as their default currencies. GoCoin has over 500 merchants and make receiving cryptocurrency as easy as adding a plugin to your website. Some of the bigger companies that use GoCoin are Lionsgate, CheapAir.com, movietickets.com and REMax.

Buying plane tickets and houses with Dash, awesome!
