Bitcoin is a decentralised digital currency that enables peer-to-peer transactions without the need for intermediaries like banks. It was created in 2009 and has since grown into a global payment network.
Businesses accepting Bitcoin can reach a growing community of users who prefer to use cryptocurrency for payments. Bitcoin transactions can be made on-chain (recorded on the blockchain) or via the Lightning Network (faster, lower-cost transactions).
OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a collaborative project to create a free, editable map of the world. It's built by volunteers and is released under the Open Database License (ODbL).
Your business information is stored on OpenStreetMap, ensuring it's part of a global, open dataset that can be used by anyone. This means your listing will be available on BTCMap and many other services that use OSM data.
BTCMap is a project that helps Bitcoin users find businesses and services that accept Bitcoin. It uses OpenStreetMap data to display locations on an interactive map.
By listing your business through this portal, you're making it easier for Bitcoin users to discover and support your business. Your listing will appear on BTCMap once it's been added to OpenStreetMap.
