Bitcoin Payments News

Bitcoin payments are instances of transfer of bitcoins between parties of an exchange. Bitcoin is a digital currency, which means that it can be used to pay for goods and services if the party providing those goods or services is willing to accept them. Bitcoin payments can be conducted directly between the public Bitcoin addresses of the buyer and the seller, or, alternatively, they may be processed by a third party, known as a payment processor.
