We just want to give them the flexibility to pay the way they want to.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, BitPay\u2019s CEO, Stephen Pair, stated his belief that the partnership is proof of the growth of the crypto industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We've always felt it was a matter of time before people had an expectation they could pay with crypto as they pay with Mastercard and Visa.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is interesting to note that this partnership would make Verifone one of the latest firms seeking ways to simplify crypto payments and drive mass adoption.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just last week, social giant Twitter introduced Bitcoin tipping to its millions of users.
