The GrosBill store announced that its customers will soon be able to pay for purchases using Ethereum. The management also said that other digital currencies will not be introduced as a means of payment for now.
Representatives of the store justified the choice of Ethereum by the fact that the rate of this cryptocurrency is the least volatile and it was easiest to integrate into the system. This is a very interesting move, since most of these places usually accept payment in Bitcoin.
This tactic will clearly help GrosBill break away from its competitors and become one of the top sellers accepting payment in Ethereum in France.
Although Ethereum is not focused on peer-to-peer payments, it is a decentralized currency with funds that are not very different from Bitcoin. Therefore, its use can be more efficient, since the transaction confirmation time is only 15 seconds.
