\nA local caf\u00e9 is the first of its kind in Australia to accept cryptocurrency as a form of payment.<\/p>\n
Crypto Coffee in Brisbane<\/a> has embraced the growing trend and named menu items after popular digital coins – including Bitcoin<\/a>, Ethereum and Ripple.<\/p>\nUnlike cash, cryptocurrency is completely digital and can be used to buy goods and services – but is often exchanged for a profit online if the price has increased.<\/p>\n
Customers can also get $20 worth of Bitcoin after visiting the caf\u00e9 and signing up to the new cryptocurrency platform, Swyftx.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In order to buy, trade and use cryptocurrency, consumers need to use specific platforms, like Swyftx which is the newest in the country<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Open seven days a week, Crypto Coffee will likely pave the way for future cafes to start using the digital currency as an alternative payment option.<\/p>\n
The caf\u00e9 also accepts cash and eftpos.<\/p>\n
Unlike physical currencies such as the Australian or US dollar, cryptocurrency is completely digital and ‘decentralised’ – meaning it’s not controlled by any banks or government.<\/p>\n
In a YouTube video, finance expert Queenie Tan said crypto’ comes from the word cryptography, the art of solving puzzles, while ‘currency’ is a means of exchange for goods and services.<\/p>\n
Queenie uses Swyftx which has relatively low fees of 0.6 per cent and no deposit or withdrawal fees – though some alternatives include CoinSpot and Crypto.com.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before diving into how to buy cryptocurrency, it’s essential to understand what it is and why it’s a popular talking point in the digital sphere.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nWhat is Cryptocurrency and how do people make money from it?<\/h3>\n\nCryptocurrency is digital form of money that’s based on blockchain technology<\/p>\n
The two biggest and most popular versions of cryptocurrency are Bitcoin and Ethereum, but there are more than 5,000 different cryptocurrencies in circulation<\/p>\n
A cryptocurrency is a medium of exchange that is digital, encrypted and decentralised\u00a0<\/p>\n
Similarly to the stock market, owners of different cryptocurrency can sell their crypto for a profit if the price increases\u00a0<\/p>\n
But cryptocurrency is deemed to be a risky investment due to the constant daily fluctuations it undergoes<\/p>\n
