Portugal "embraces" Bitcoin for a new type of payment.
<center>*This publication was also written in* **SPANISH** *and* **PORTUGUESE**.</center>

<div class="text-justify">

Following another step to expand the cryptocurrencies in yet another territory of Europe, a small part of the Portuguese will benefit from a novelty that will certainly bring a certain convenience to them because soon they will be able to pay their electricity bills (in a fixed way) using a different way: **Bitcoin** as the main currency.

This payment option will be offered by **Luzboa**, a small company responsible for the commercialization of energy in Portugal. The big announcement was made on the last 17th, through a statement from the company's president, **Pedro Moraes Leitão**, to the newspaper [Expresso](https://expresso.pt/economia/2021-02-17-Luzboa-estreia-pagamento-da-fatura-da-luz-em-bitcoin) and this news is putting Bitcoin on a new payment route for the country.

The operation of this novelty will begin this month for at least **5,000 customers** of the company, which supplies energy to homes, companies and institutions in and some of the municipalities of Portugal (such as Lisbon, Pinhel, Barcelos, Marinha Grande and Viseu), and all payments will be made directly into an exclusive Bitcoin virtual wallet, which will be created in the next few days to receive the digital assets.

Even if this advance is small in relation to the expansion of cryptocurrencies within the country, it is important to see the growing interest on the part of companies, which in their most diverse sectors are showing a much more "sharp" interest in these new options for payments. This could be the start of yet another branch of the currency.

<center>**Portugal "adopta" Bitcoin para un nuevo tipo de pago**.</center>

Siguiendo un paso más para expandir las criptomonedas en un territorio más de Europa, una pequeña parte de los portugueses se beneficiará de una novedad que sin duda les aportará cierta comodidad porque pronto podrán pagar sus facturas de luz (de forma fija) de una manera diferente: **Bitcoin** como moneda principal.

Esta opción de pago será ofrecida por **Luzboa**, una pequeña empresa responsable de la comercialización de energía en Portugal. El gran anuncio se hizo el ultimo día 17, a través de un comunicado del presidente de la empresa, **Pedro Moraes Leitão**, al diario [Expresso](https://expresso.pt/economia/2021-02-17-Luzboa-estreia-pagamento-da-fatura-da-luz-em-bitcoin) y esta noticia está poniendo a Bitcoin en una nueva ruta de pago para el país.

La operación de esta novedad comenzará este mes para al menos **5.000 clientes** de la compañía, que suministra energía a hogares, empresas e instituciones en y algunos de los municipios de Portugal (como Lisboa, Pinhel, Barcelos, Marinha Grande y Viseu), y todos los pagos se realizarán directamente en una billetera virtual exclusiva de Bitcoin, que se creará en los próximos días para recibir los activos digitales.

Si bien este avance es pequeño en relación a la expansión de las criptomonedas dentro del país, es importante ver el creciente interés por parte de las empresas, que en sus más diversos sectores están mostrando un interés mucho más "agudo" por estas nuevas opciones para pagos. Este podría ser el comienzo de otra rama de la moneda.

<center>**Portugal "abraça" o Bitcoin para um novo tipo de pagamento**.</center>

Seguindo mais um passo para expandir as criptomoedas em mais um território da Europa, uma pequena parte dos portugueses será beneficiada com uma novidade que certamente trará uma certa comodidade para eles porque em breve eles poderão para suas contas de eletricidade (de maneira fixa) utilizando um jeito diferente: **Bitcoin** como moeda a principal.

Essa opção de pagamento será oferecida pela **Luzboa**, uma pequena empresa responsável pela comercialização de energia em Portugal. O grande anúncio foi feito no último dia 17, através de um comunicado do próprio presidente da empresa, **Pedro Moraes Leitão** ao jornal [Expresso](https://expresso.pt/economia/2021-02-17-Luzboa-estreia-pagamento-da-fatura-da-luz-em-bitcoin) e essa novidade está colocando o Bitcoin em uma nova rota de pagamento para o país.

O funcionamento dessa novidade começará ainda esse mês para pelo menos **5 mil clientes** da empresa, que fornece energia para residências, companhias e instituições de e alguns dos municípios de Portugal (como Lisboa, Pinhel, Barcelos, Marinha Grande e Viseu), e todos os pagamentos serão feitos diretamente em uma carteira virtual de Bitcoin exclusiva, que será criada nos próximos dias para receber os ativos digitais.

Mesmo que esse avanço seja pequeno em relação à expansão das criptomedas dentro do país, é importante ver o interesse cada vez mais crescente por parte das empresas, que em seus mais diversos setores estão demonstrando um interesse muito mais "acentuado" sobre essas novas opções de pagamentos. Isso pode ser o início de mais uma ramificação da moeda.

Só espero que quando eu for visitar Portugal um dia, a aceitação pelas criptomoedas sejam muito maiores do que vemos hoje.

Outros países seguirão o mesmo caminho, é um rumo sem volta.

It's great to real world adoption, but would you use it? With typical electricity bills for private households, wouldn't the transaction fees alone add a considerable fraction of the actual bill amount?
