Places to Spend ZEC
Nowadays, when surveillance (undercovered by the word transparency) is being the order of the day mostly for governments and financial world, privacy, as a human right, seems to be underrated.
Nevertheless, regarding to new ways of finances, there are people -like Zcash- working on taking care about your security and privacy, just because they do matter-.
Zcash with ZEC offers both enhanced privacy and security features. But, as a a very first step for adoption and use starts with the fact that more (real) businesses, stores and people offering services are accepting ZEC as a payment option.,
Why accept ZEC?
If you have a company or sell any product or service, you may wish to receive Zcash. Why? Herein, some of those multiple reasons and benefits you can considered it as your payment method.
- Enhance privacy. | Unlike well-known and traditional payment methods, Zcash, thanks to zk-SNARKs, keeps your transactions safe and private by being shielded (not publicly visible) on the blockchain and data implied in transactions are relevant (and visible) to both, sender and receiver only.
- Faster and more cost-effective payment method. | ZEC transactions are direct and no third parties needed (such as banks), making processing time shorter and fees lower than traditional payment methods, so you can forget about Paypal. Now you know that’s not a suitable option.
- Increase your customer base. | By accepting ZEC, your company / product or service can attract a wider target of people who prefer to use crytocurrencies.
- Promote and enhance customer loyalty. | By tapping in this market segment and let people know your place is accepting ZEC, this can give you an advantage and preference among usual and potential customers, who would turn to you any time they need to spend their ZEC.
- Make the difference as innovative. | When deciding to accept ZEC in your store, business, or even offering a service as a taxi driver, you can position among those who are for different forms of finances, payments and enjoyment.
Considering all the items above, there are many places where you can spend ZEC. Let’s explore what we’ve called:
