全台首家!可用虛擬貨幣付款的蛋糕店在高雄開幕

2017-10-16

〔即時新聞/綜合報導〕在國外已有店家接受虛擬貨幣消費,但在台灣還不是相當普及,台灣首家接受「比特幣」(Bitcoin)等虛擬貨幣支付的蛋糕店Coin Cake昨在高雄開幕,民眾除了可用台幣付款,還能選擇以比特幣等虛擬貨幣付款。

由於國內虛擬硬幣的使用還不普及,Coin Cake未來將面對不小的挑戰。(圖擷取自Coin Cake臉書)

綜合媒體報導,昨在高雄市三多商圈開幕的Coin Cake,商品主打咖啡與烘焙麵包等餐點,單價多在百元內。業者表示,這家店所提供的蛋糕、咖啡等餐飲服務除了可用台幣付款,也可選擇以比特幣、以太幣(Ether)等虛擬貨幣付款,民眾只要擁有虛擬貨幣電子錢包,結帳時可不需要掏出現金。

不過國內目前尚未有虛擬貨幣交易平台,消費者若要以虛擬貨幣支付,須將打算購買商品以台幣計算加總後,當下查詢虛擬貨幣與台幣換算的相對幣值,以計算機人工換算後,再從消費者虛擬貨幣錢包中扣除。

業者也承認,即便虛擬貨幣在日本等國家都已被官方認可接受,在台灣目前還是非常不普及,所以才秉持一股熱情來推動,看好虛擬貨幣是未來趨勢,為教育更多民眾、落實在日常生活使用,才開店推廣,至於虛擬貨幣漲跌風險他們願意承擔。

Coin Cake開幕首日即吸引不少消費者,約有20多位民眾以虛擬貨幣付款,但為宣導虛擬貨幣的使用概念,店員向民眾解說也耗費不少時間,結帳排隊時間因此拉長。有民眾跟媒體反應,虛擬貨幣手工換算過程耗時,還不如使用感應式的一卡通、Apple Pay等現有貨幣工具還來得方便與快速,但業者認為那僅僅是現金轉換,與虛擬貨幣概念不同,將不考慮採用。
