Recently, Bengaluru-based startup Unocoin introduced an innovative offer
It allows users to purchase consumer items like pizza and coffee with bitcoin
The process does not involve direct purchase
Bitcoin holders can buy a gift voucher using the cryptocurrency
Retail chains like Domino’s Pizza, CCD, Baskin-Robins and Prestige accept it
Users can purchase the vouchers under the ‘shop’ section on the app
They can buy vouchers worth Rs 100 to Rs 5000
Once the purchase is over, a voucher code will be sent to users
They can use it at the physical outlet to buy the item
An attempt to educate Indians about the possibilities of cryptocurrency
