Expedia: Purchases With Bitcoin Are Down 40%
• The lack of overall understanding
regarding bitcoin was again an inhibiting
factor
• "If we give them a bitcoin payment, they
don't know what to do with it, it's not a
currency they understand.”
• "We accept bitcoin as a way of just
allowing customers to pay with whatever
method they want to pay. For us, bitcoin is
on an even playing field with the other
payment types we offer."

‘Wall Street’ Should Take Blockchain Technology
Seriously
Sources: YouTube, CoinDesk, LinkedIn
“Distributed ledger technology does have the
potential to be disruptive in certain business
models, but it has at least as much potential
to be enormously empowering in existing
middle business models in terms of making
them lower cost, more efficient and less risky.”
“So we won’t get there overnight but we will
get there. How seriously should you take this?
I would take it about as seriously as you
should’ve taken the concept to the Internet in
the early 1990s. It’s a big deal and it is going
to change the way that our financial world
operates.”Blythe Masters,
CEO of Digital Assets
Holdings LLC
