While cryptocurrencies have long been used by individuals and even for B2B (Business to Business) transactions to avoid the high cost of international currency conversions, there has always been a reluctance or avoidance of the businesses to accept cryptocurrencies as payments from consumers.
Over the last few months, some of the latest cryptocurrency news includes very positive trends in different companies, service providers, entertainment venues, and even retailers moving to accept cryptocurrencies as a payment method.

In the latest cryptocurrency news this month, the addiction and rehabilitation company Gratitude Lodge is now accepting payment for services using Bitcoin and other selected cryptocurrencies. As one of the few providers in the United States or around the world accepting this type of payment, it will be interesting to see if the use of cryptocurrencies to pay for rehab services increases.
Even more interesting will be the reaction of other leading rehab service providers in the US and around the world. It is very likely that if Gratitude Lodge notes an increase in demand for their services through accepting cryptocurrencies, other rehab services and medical and mental health services may also respond with the same decisions.
There have been a number of large companies in the USA that have moved to accept Bitcoin as a method of payment. This list includes Microsoft, AT&T, Whole Foods, Starbucks, PayPal, and MasterCard, to name just a few. Within these industries, these early adopters of cryptocurrencies as payment may be positioning themselves in an increasingly mainstream market.
