World's First Bitcoin-Only Cafe Opens In Prague - From The CoinFront

The world’s first bitcoin-only cafe is opening in Czech Republic.


Parallel Polis, a crypto-anarchy institute founded in Prague, has a popular cafe attached to it. The entire institute accepts only Bitcoin, and also includes a co-working space, hackerspace, makers lab, and, of course, the Bitcoin cafe.


At the cafe, volunteers help newcomers set themselves up with Bitcoin. This includes setting up a wallet, purchasing their first bitcoins through their on-site Bitcoin ATM, and, if the visitor so chooses, spending those bitcoins at the cafe.


Parallel Polis is using Coin of Sale’s Bitcoin payment processing system to process Bitcoin payments and keep track of their accounting.


“We’re proud that Parallel Polis has selected Coin of Sale’s POS system to process Bitcoin payments with its institute,” says Tomas Forgac, CEO of Coin of Sale. “The thinking of liberty leaders in central Europe is nicely aligned with our company philosophy on data and currency – and how they are intricately tied to human value.”


“Since the very first moment our bartenders appreciate the user friendly interface of CoS,” adds Martin Leskovjan of Parallel Polis, “which is easily usable even if the staff is not experienced with computer technologies at all.”


Parallel Polis was opened by an avant-garde art group called Ztohoven to promote the ideas of liberty, privacy, and free markets.
