All you do is take a picture and it sends everything for you.\u201d*\nBrad Cardwell,<br> a Prelude customer,<br> said he was excited to see a local business accept cryptocurrency.\n*\u201cI think it\u2019s great,<br>\"* Cardwell said. *\"I mean anytime\u2026 I did some research into some cryptocurrency and it seems legit so if a restaurant wants to accept that then I think it\u2019s within that business owner\u2019s right to do so.\u201d*\nCardwell said he could see himself making a purchase with the online currency sometime in the future.\n\nRead the full article and see the video here:http:\/\/5newsonline.com\/2018\/01\/31\/fayetteville-restaurant-now-accepting-cryptocurrency\/\n\nThey even added some info about using Lumens for beginners to the menu of their website:\n\n<center>![ (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmbpWULowbM6kLGmNqpDd2i1FRvDYMVKevDaH9NbxMQfFx\/image.png)<\/center>\n\nSo if you find yourself near the Fayetteville area with Lumens in your wallet,<br> make a point to stop and have a bite for a great start to your day! @jazzyfish and I don't live far from there,<br> and we even have friends in the area,<br> so we'll likely make a point to stop by with some crypto to pay for breakfast!\n\nYou can find their website here: https:\/\/www.preludebreakfast.com\/\nAnd their facebook page here: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/PreludeBreakfastBar\/\n\n---\n---\n\nhttp:\/\/i.imgur.com\/oN0ueiy.png",<br>"json_metadata":" \"tags\":[\"news\",<br>\"cryptocurrency\",<br>\"life\",<br>\"food\",<br>\"travel\" ,<br>\"users\":[\"jazzyfish\" ,<br>\"image\":[\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmQUnbRtnWEZvKCHczyQeQ4ZncmcSHiDbnhUMPyvbK96SV\/image.png\",<br>\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/ml4HD7h.png\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmbpWULowbM6kLGmNqpDd2i1FRvDYMVKevDaH9NbxMQfFx\/image.png\",<br>\"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/oN0ueiy.png\" ,<br>\"links\":[\"http:\/\/5newsonline.com\/2018\/01\/31\/fayetteville-restaurant-now-accepting-cryptocurrency\/\",<br>\"https:\/\/www.preludebreakfast.com\/\",<br>\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/PreludeBreakfastBar\/\" ,<br>\"app\":\"steemit\/0.1\",<br>\"format\":\"markdown\" " |
