When Austin from Crypto Playhouse reached out to me recently to buy a watch with Bitcoin, I said to myself, “Why not collaborate on a video to show people how easy it is to pay with crypto?!”
The reality is that even though I never covered cryptocurrency as a payment option in our videos before, we have been accepting cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin for luxury watches and jewelry since early 2018. In fact, we registered our business as a crypto-friendly merchant on Coinmap.org early this year as well. If you search for CRM Jewelers there, you'll see that we come up as a company that accepts Bitcoin. You can even see the “Bitcoin Accepted Here” signs outside our store at the beginning of this video. Go crypto!
You can tell that cryptocurrency is gaining traction as a viable payment solution when you consider that I just helped facilitate a $100,000 transaction for a Patek Philippe in Bitcoin! We're living in very exciting times my friends!
To make this video into a reality, I had our videographer come over and film when Austin Doyle, one of the leading crypto influencers on Instagram, coming by to purchase his black Rolex Submariner with Bitcoin.
The process was extremely easy. First, Austin set up one of the acceptable crypto wallets that our current payment provider BitPay allows. The wallets you can use right now to buy at our shop are BitPay, Copay, BTC.com, Mycelium, Edge, Electrum, Bitcoin Core Wallet, Bitcoin.com Wallet, and BRD (“breadwallet”).
