BitPay saw the potential for Bitcoin, the Blockchain and Cryptocurrency to disrupt the financial industry by making it faster, secure, and less expensive to send and receive money on a global scale. Cryptocurrency is valuable because businesses and consumers use it to trade for goods and services on a global basis without the risk of fraud or identity theft. We owe this continued success to solving real pain points for our business and consumer customers.
