Forget Black Friday, Bitcoin Friday Debuts

Hoping to spur the use of bitcoin among consumers, hundreds of merchants are taking part in “Bitcoin Friday” this week, CNNMoney reported on November 26.

The event, which dovetails with Black Friday, presents an opportunity for bitcoin owners to use their currency to take advantage of holiday-season deals and specials.

“Good companies that really get technology and the potential of bitcoin are joining,” Holmes Wilson, a member of Fight for the Future, one of the groups supporting Bitcoin Friday, told CNNMoney in an interview.
