Cryptocoins Going Mainstream: Austrian Post Office Now Selling Coins OTC

Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, and Dash -- imagine just walking in to a post office (of all places) and being able to buy some Crypto coin vouchers for cash over-the-counter, just like you would do to buy a couple of stamps...

Well, you heard right: this is exactly what you now can do in Austria. Maybe it got to do with the famous "old" Austrian anonymous bank account and Austrians losing their banking privacy to un-elected EU bureaucrats snooping around in their private affairs, but Post Austria have now decided to offer Crypto coin vouchers for cash (in euros) to walk-in customers!

Now, this is a big step -- as similar offers are only heard of from Argentina so far, where you can buy Bitcoin (and maybe Dash) vouchers in grocery stores. The banking privacy tradition of Austria may finally have one last hurray this way (although it should be noted that Bitcoin is only pseudonymous, not anonymous, as are Ethereum and Litecoin, and that only Dash can offer true financial privacy to users legitimately seeking it).

Anyway, Post Austria's offer is a great additioin to mainstream adoption of Crypto coins. Vouchers bought OTC using cash at any post office plus post "agency" locations found in stores and similar places, can be redeemed for one of the big-four coins listed above using the Austrian Bitpanda exchange and sent to your own wallet right away.

Talk about good news from the Crypto coin sphere...
