Since May 2010 when Bitcoin was first used to purchase pizza (10,000 BTC for $25 worth of pizza!), a lot has changed. Not only has the value of Bitcoin increased immensely but also the number of companies that accept it as a currency. The advantages of paying with Bitcoin are innumerable, but users mostly value the anonymity, speed, and absence of a middleman, which is why this payment method is becoming popular even among customers who do not know very much about cryptocurrencies.
