Indiana bitcoin payments spread as merchants hold BTC instead of dollars

About 200 businesses in Indiana accept bitcoin payments, ranging from coffee shops and restaurants to auto repair shops, cinemas, farms and bookstores, based on BTC Map data cited by Bitcoin Magazine. Some merchants are beginning to keep bitcoin received from customers instead of converting it into dollars. Old Major Market in Indianapolis said it will hold all bitcoin payments from this year after more than a year of local customers buying products with BTC.
