UK Art Gallery becomes the First to Accept Bitcoin

A Mayfair art gallery has become the first in the U.K. to accept six digital currencies including bitcoin, ethereum, and ethereum classic.
Dadiani Fine Art, located in Cork Street, London, is revolutionizing how buyers can pay for art by connecting the worlds of technology and art together. Including digital currencies as payment options to the fine art gallery was thought up by Eleesa Dadiani, the gallery’s owner.
According to Dadiani, she hopes that by incorporating digital currencies such as Bitcoin to the world of art it will get other businesses to start thinking about how they can adapt to change to new technological innovations.
Aside from offering bitcoin, the additional digital currencies on offer include ethereum, ethereum classic, ripple, litecoin, and dash. However, as more altcoins become widely recognized the art gallery plans on including those too. It will also be launching its own currency, the DadiCoin, in the future.
The use of bitcoin and the other digital currencies will be available for use at the launch of Dadiani’s upcoming exhibition, The Noise by Mike O’Connor, owner of Heritage F1, which is the only company in the U.K. to buy and sell F1 cars. The exhibition will take place from the 14th July until the 31st July 2017.
The exhibition is a dedication to the world of motor racing where six sculptures made from the exhaust pipes of Formula One racing cars and other rare motor car memorabilia will be available for purchase. The pieces on display are expected to sell between £25,000 to £30,000.

Japan Ends 8% Consumption Tax On Bitcoin

Bitcoin users in Japan no longer have to pay the 8% consumption tax on bitcoin transactions as of today, July 1.  Under the “Cabinet Order for Partial Revision of the Order for Enforcement of the Consumption Tax Act,” digital currencies are exempt from consumption tax. The revised law abolished consumption tax on digital currencies, but other taxes such as personal income tax, capital gains tax or corporate income tax still remain, according to Bitcoin.com. Currency, checks, and promissory notes fall under the payment methods governed by the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act and are exempt from taxation under the Consumption Tax Act, according to the National Tax Agency, cited by bitflyer. In addition, the prepaid methods of payment, which electronic money is generally considered to be, that were governed by the Payment Services Act are considered under the Consumption Tax Act to be “physical certificates” and are exempt from the consumption tax.

May 22 has come to be known as Bitcoin Pizza Day

May 22 has come to be known as Bitcoin Pizza Day because of its the day when a programmer used bitcoin to buy pizza.  Laszlo Hanyecz handed over 10,000 Bitcoin in return for the two Papa Johns back in 2010.  Now the sum would be worth a whopping $20million (£15.38m), as the currency today hit its highest ever level of $2,185 (£1,681). But back in 2010, Mr Hanyecz reportedly believed the coins he held were only worth around 0.003 cents each - so the 10,000 coins amount to around $30.  He asked a forum user to accept the coins for the pizza. While bitcoin's value has grown astronomically since 2010, it's price is at an especially high peak right now. On Tuesday morning, one Bitcoin was valued at $2,245, according to  CoinDesk . That one bitcoin today could buy you more than 100 $20 pizzas — let alone what the 10,000 bitcoins Hanyecz spent in 2010 could buy. That amount of the cryptocurrency was then valued at $41.   Hanyecz's pizza purchase was a big deal ...
