DISH considered to be the first subscription TV model has agreed to add Bitcoin Cash as a mode to do payment and in addition also migrated to BitPay, the biggest blockchain provider across the globe. This will enable the submission of payment for Bitcoin cash and Bitcoin with its users.
The DISH executive vice-president, John Swieringa stated that the platform is excited to add Bitcoin Cash as it will serve new business dealers with more easy and accessible solution.
He further stated a large number of customers use DISH who pays by using cryptocurrencies every month, now with the use of BitPay they will get more offers and new features that will further help to attract more and more customers.
