System76: Accept Bitcoin as a Payment Option

Bitcoin represents one of the most significant advances in commerces in the last 1,000 years. The currency provides a way for anyone, anywhere, to exchange money, buy goods, and hold value without any inteference of a centralized authority or bank. Bitcoin takes monetary power out of the hands of banks and other controlling interests and places it solidly in the hands of the people.

To computing, Linux represents the same large step forward as Bitcoin does to money. Users are no longer held captive by the whims of large corporations who dictate what they can and cannot do with their computers. Just as Bitcoin removes any boundaries on money, Linux removes the boundaries of computing and levels the playing field for everyone.

As revolutionary, world changing technologies, we believe that the merging of Linux in a cohesive, easy to use way, would help take the next step in freeing users to use their computers as they want and without any control. All it will take is a Linux PC vendor that is brave enough to take the first step and accept Bitcoin as payment. It is our belief that System76 is the perfect company to usher Bitcoin into the Linux PC space.
