“Cassandra Wintgens ceremoniously affixed the blue sticker with the thick, yellow ‘B’ to the pane in the front door of her guesthouse-cum-cafe. ‘Bitcoin accepted here,’ it read. The establishment Lekkerurlaub Notaufnahme, which translates roughly as ‘Yummy Holiday Emergency Admission,’ thereby became the seventh business in the Graefe neighbourhood of the multicultural Berlin district of Kreuzberg, to accept the digital currency — whether for an overnight stay or a cup of coffee in the cafe. ‘I think it’s exciting,’ she remarked. ‘We don’t need banks for Bitcoins. They just muck us about anyway and don’t do anything for small-scale businesspeople.’”
