CNN Money - Meet the world's first Bitcoin baby
CNN Money – Meet the world’s first Bitcoin baby:
CNN Money tech editor Stacy Cowley (@StacyCowley) describes how Bitcoin plays a special role in one doctorâs practice. Excerpts:
[Doctor C. Terence Lee] is an early pioneer in the Bitcoin retail economy, and a sign on his clinic door advertises his accepted forms of electronic payment: Visa, MasterCard or Bitcoin.â
-
âDetermined to find a patient willing to pay him in bitcoins, Lee put an ad up on Reddit last year offering a âmale fertility evaluationâ â basically, a sperm test â in return for 15 bitcoins, which at the time were worth around $5 each.â
-
âAn ob/gyn with a geeky streak, [Dr. Lee] came across Bitcoin around a year ago while poking around on the Internet. The communityâs passion drew him in.â
-
âA couple whom he helped conceive three previous babies came back to try for number four.  [â¦] âI offered them a 50% discount [if they paid using Bitcoin]â.â
-
âLee claims he wouldnât care if his bitcoins lost their value entirely â he and his staff are having fun figuring out the technology, meeting new people, and enjoying the economic novelty of a whole new kind of currency. Heâs even managed to convert a few more of his clients.â
