Introduction




Almost a decade ago, the concept of Blockchain was introduced through the invention of Bitcoin

in the year 2008. It is hard to discuss blockchain technology without an understanding of

Cryptocurrency, Bitcoin. The digital currencies foundations are not new. E-cash concepts were

first introduced in the 1980s (Bashir, 2017). Bitcoin is a digital currency that is entirely

decentralized, stable, and secure. Bitcoin is generally considered the king of Cryptocurrencies

because it was the first-ever created Cryptocurrency and highly valued currency among its

competitors (Kopleman, 2020). Because Bitcoin entirely depends on Blockchain technology, the

primary issues like accountability and anonymity observed in the early e-cash technologies

cannot be seen in this Cryptocurrency. The Cryptographic algorithms' introduction helped

develop the secure and transparent digital currency ever in the distributed systems. In today's

digitally advanced world, people have started accepting the new ways of handling things if

security and efficiency are the key factors. Moreover, Bitcoin is such a technology that is being

legally accepted by many countries across the globe.

Today, Bitcoin is the most widely used and successful Cryptocurrency globally, with thousands

of investors and billions of dollars investments. Bitcoin technology is leveraged to alleviate

various pain points with conventional currency-related trade and commerce. Furthermore,

blockchain technology usage in the fintech sector is exponentially increasing compared to

, different sectors. In this research paper, the organizations that heavily depend on Bitcoin

technology and those that do not accept Bitcoin as the main currency will be discussed.

According to the journal written by Rothenhorst, C. (2018), financial firms like insurance

agencies and banks may embrace Blockchain snappier than different areas. Rothenhorst, in their

article, additionally indicated that the speculations from these fintech-based organizations in

blockchain innovation are now around nine percent (Rothenhorst, 2018). These numbers

unmistakably clear that the utilization of Blockchain for digital money in the worldwide

exchange and economy is expanding at a tremendous rate. As mentioned by Silva et al. (2018),

"As a payment the cryptocurrencies has been gaining ground due to the widespread criticism of

the fees charged by credit and debit card networks since the technology would push the card

networks to lower their prices to traders," the rise of organizations that use Bitcoin as the

standard currency is increasing slowly. The significant role played by the Bitcoin cryptocurrency

will be discussed further to understand the reasons for adopting the Bitcoin currency and review

some limitations in these kinds of currencies. Finally, some recommendations will be preached

for the companies that want to use Bitcoin as the primary currency form. Even though Bitcoin is

banned and not accepted by many governments, using various methods, it is possible to accept

Bitcoins as payments just like the conventional currencies.



Organizations that are accepting Bitcoin as a Standard Currency

Since its inception in 2008 and practical implementation in 2009, the number of Bitcoin

users has increased significantly. In today’s world, even the stock values are given to bitcoins.

Many governments and organizations worldwide are showing interest in purchasing Bitcoins,

even though there are many fluctuations in the value (Waldo, 2019). The Fintech sector contains

many sub-areas like banking and the protected areas. While the traditional method of making

monetary exchanges is as yet in the blast, cryptographic forms of money are acquiring

prominence worldwide. Even though numerous enterprises have begun utilizing blockchain
