STDcheck.com, an online STD testing company, has news for the tech-savvy consumer concerned about their health: They are now accepting payments made with over 50 of the most popular cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin. This makes STDcheck.com one of the largest corporations accepting payments with cryptocurrencies.
Cryptocurrencies have exploded in popularity in the past year. The layperson can think about using cryptocurrencies as paying with cash electronically as cryptocurrency transactions do not show up on financial statements and are not linked to any personal information. The privacy and security of cryptocurrencies offers an appealing alternative to conventional payment methods for customers interested in the most discreet payment method possible. Cryptocurrencies, like any other currency, are backed by the faith and trust of their users and have spurred the creation of an alternative economy.
Buzz around cryptocurrencies has reached a fever pitch of late, as investment continues to boom. This has left many posing the question of what practical applications of cryptocurrencies will look like. With its longstanding commitment to innovation and patient confidentiality, STDcheck.com sees now as the moment to put consumers’ cryptocurrencies to good use. The decision to accept this mode of payment is an extension of STDcheck.com’s commitment to continual improvement. This move follows other industry innovations the company has pioneered, such as accepting payments through PayPal and allowing patients the option to place an order, go in for testing, and pay later.
While no one can predict the future of cryptocurrencies—the new innovations that they will inspire, the new markets that they will open, the consumer freedoms that they will spark—STDcheck.com will continue to adapt to the changing technological landscape finding innovative ways to meet their customer’s needs.
