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.
DISH has willfully decided to take a turnover by migrating to BitPay from the existing processor for making payments. Now, the customers can do monthly payment or as per the channel subscribed.
With this, the users can pay the fixed amount of Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash at once by using Hopper DVR of DISH or mydish.com. Moreover, BitPay processor has the potential to convert the payment in U.S. dollars immediately without damaging the cryptocurrency volatility.
Sonny Singh, Chief Commercial Officer with BitPay stated that cryptocurrency is widely getting popular to make payments and even for purchasing goods online at more cheaper rates by reducing the risk of card payment and other traditional ways. In addition, it is the more simplified version for the new merchants and also for the existing ones.
