Bistro 1858 café now accepts bitcoin, demonstrates leap toward greater blockchain adoption in Canada Toronto, March 22, 2017 – After being the first of the Big 4 consultancy firms to install a Bitcoin ATM (“BTM”) in their offices, Deloitte Canada has announced that it is now accepting bitcoin at Bistro 1858, the Toronto office’s internal restaurant.Since the installation of the BTM in the fall of 2016, Deloitte’s Toronto office has seen tremendous adoption and understanding of the cryptocurrency, and its underlying technology blockchain.“After placing a BTM in our offices and seeing Deloitte personnel downloading a wallet and buying their first fraction of a bitcoin, it seemed natural to enable the next step of the use case under our own roof,” said Ian Chan, Partner, Deloitte.The goal is to enable users to buy bitcoin from the BTM, and then pay for a meal in the Bistro 1858 in bitcoin.The amount of bitcoin purchased and subsequently spent would be reflected in their wallet app almost immediately.

Deloitte co-operates Bistro 1858 with Benchmark Hospitality and they have been working together to integrate bitcoin payment processing with their current Point-of-Sale system and procedures.Deloitte and Benchmark have selected BitPay, a leading global bitcoin payment service provider, to accept and settle transactions.bitcoin buddha"We're excited to see a leading company like Deloitte exploring the possibilities with bitcoin payments," says BitPay CEO Stephen Pair.bitcoin banca d'italia"We hope this test case will show users on a small scale what bitcoin can do for online payments and what BitPay is doing for businesses transferring value globally."acquisto bitcoinIliana Oris Valiente, Strategy Leader, Rubix by Deloitte adds that bitcoin is only one example of a use case of blockchain technology.ethereum live blocks

“By allowing individuals to buy and sell bitcoin with our BTM, and now to buy their lunch with bitcoin, we’re demonstrating that the blockchain experience for the front-end user is not all that complicated.What is important to realize, however, is that the back-end technology has fundamentally changed.” This move represents another step forward in Deloitte’s involvement in the blockchain space.litecoin lowRubix by Deloitte, the blockchain development hub in Canada, has been building decentralized applications (Dapps) and providing blockchain advisory services for clients since 2015.bitcoin wallet in linuxWorking across financial services, insurance, healthcare, supply chain and government use cases, Deloitte has been providing a wide range of services to clients worldwide.Deloitte, one of Canada's leading professional services firms, provides audit, tax, consulting, and financial advisory services.

Move improves accessibility and hands-on learning as first step toward greater blockchain adoption in Canada TORONTO (September 7, 2016) – Deloitte’s dedicated blockchain technology offering, Rubix by Deloitte, has installed an ATM that dispenses bitcoin, the cryptocurrency that blockchain technology underpins, at their downtown Toronto office.The bitcoin ATM, also known as a BTM, is centrally located in Toronto’s Financial District at the intersection of Yonge and Adelaide.The BTM is built by Ottawa-based Bitaccess and enables users to buy or sell bitcoins using cash.The driving force behind the acquisition of the BTM is an effort by Deloitte to improve accessibility to bitcoin and provide a hands-on learning experience for clients as well as the broader community.“The first step toward wider blockchain adoption is knowledge, and the logical entry point is to first understand how bitcoin works.The goal is to make bitcoin more accessible so that users can experience blockchain technology first hand to deepen their understanding and ultimately increase adoption,” said Iliana Oris Valiente, an original founder, and strategy leader of the Rubix by Deloitte team.

“Our research shows that rapid advances in technology are disrupting many industries here in Canada and bringing significant changes to our business landscape,” added Ian Chan, Partner and Deloitte’s Exponentials and Innovation Leader.“Blockchain is one such exponential technology.We hope that this BTM will increase people’s understanding and access to bitcoin, so that they’re better prepared to embrace and respond to the advancement of blockchain.” The BTM is simple to use, requiring no prior or technical background from users and needing only a mobile phone number to buy and sell bitcoins.“Deloitte has shown themselves to be a leader in financial innovation through their Rubix team.Partnering with Deloitte on this project is a natural fit for Bitaccess.It further advances our mission to commercialize blockchain technologies,” said Moe Adham, co-founder of Bitaccess.Rubix by Deloitte is Deloitte’s blockchain technology offering in Canada, exclusively working on enterprise blockchain applications.
