“I was excited when I contacted this client - who has been a client of mine for a while - and suggested to him to use his bitcoins for his upcoming trip," Taylor said. "It was an easy and simple transaction and my client is pleased to be TPI’s first client to use cryptocurrency. We will absolutely continue using bitcoin for all future travels."
