Lonjsko Polje Nature Park Now Accepts Payments in Cryptocurrencies

Lonjsko Polje Nature Park, the third-largest protected park in Croatia, has reportedly introduced cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, BitcoinCash, Stellar Lumen And Dai as a means of payment with a value equivalent to the Kuna.

Visitors can purchase tickets with cryptocurrencies via PayCek, an electronic payment service provided by Electrocoin for processing cryptocurrencies intended for physical and online stores. Electrocoin is a cryptocurrency brokerage and crypto-payment processing company based in Zagreb, Croatia. Each person will have access to the Strug River or the Posavina Safari inside the nature reserve with this ticket. Visitors can also use these cryptocurrency for all Lonjsko Polje Nature Park services..

Marija Kušmiš, director of the Lonjsko Polje Nature Park said: "We are glad to be the first nature park to introduce this service. We certainly encourage investors in cryptocurrencies to think about the importance of this protected area, its sustainability, and also enjoy the natural beauty." 

Cryptocurrencies have gained popularity over the years. Nearly a month ago, Fazzaco reported that El Salvador, a country using the US dollar as the go-to fiat, became the first country in the world to introduce bitcoin as the legal tender​.
