Crypto is becoming more intertwined with the global economy every day. It’s already a trillion-dollar industry. Stores accepting digital currency as payment are becoming increasingly common. And it’s not only Bitcoin that they’re accepting. For example, now you can buy movie tickets at any AMC theater with Dogecoin or Shibacoin. But in the grand scheme of things, that seems relatively reasonable and normal. With that said, here are the top five weirdest things you can buy with crypto.
A funeral
If you’ve ever had to plan or pay for a funeral before, you know just how expensive they can be. However, if you’ve invested in Bitcoin or other popular altcoins and live in the Greater Toronto Area, you’re in luck. Tranquility Funeral Services Inc. in Toronto, Ontario, Canada accepts Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and other cryptocurrencies as payment.
A lap dance
If you find yourself in a Las Vegas strip club known as The Legends Room but are strapped for cash, there’s no need to worry. They’re the first strip club to accept cryptocurrency as payment. Though, you won’t be able to make it rain singles if you pay with crypto. Which is honestly kind of a bummer.
Guns
What even is the point of the second amendment if you can’t buy firearms with crypto? There are tons of gun stores across the United States that accept crypto, especially Bitcoin, as payment. But it doesn’t stop at guns. Weapons manufacturer DSG Arms lets you buy the whole kit and caboodle. Silencers, magazines, optics, holsters, you name it.
A stuffed alligator head
Yes, you read that correctly. The online marketplace Etsy lets sellers accept Bitcoin as payment for their goods. Though there isn’t native integration yet, it’s an easy task for sellers to set up. So, go nuts if you think a taxidermied alligator head would look great on your wall, and have some Bitcoin to spare.
An actual gold mine
Back in 2014, a gold mine in Yukon, Canada was listed on BitPremier for $2 million in Bitcoin. The region is home to several gold mines that are active to this day. So this might be your chance to turn your metaphorical gold mine, into an actual, real gold mine.
