Xiaomi is a multifaceted company in the sense that it plans to extend its field of action in more sectors. We have seen how it is the most established brand in China and in the world as regards the IoT sector. Let's not talk about smartphones: these have led the colossus to surpass Samsung and Apple to the top of the world. But there is more. Apparently some Mi Stores have started accept purchases in cryptocurrencies. And more than one. Where is it? In Portugal. Let's see the details.

The announcement comes directly from official Facebook page of Xiaomi Portugal, or rather, of the Mi Store Portugal. The news will make quite a noise: the company has started accepting payments via cryptocurrencies and specifically Bitcoin, Ethereum, theter, Dash e Utrust Token. Two of these, the first two, are the most popular and most purchased cryptocurrencies in the world. Is this a sign that Xiaomi also wants to invest in this field? At the moment the brand has not given a word about the world of criptomonete, but it is not excluded that it will not do so later.
Many companies, you see Tesla by Elon Musk among many, have decided to accept (in the case of this company, to re-accept) i Bitcoin payments. The reason is simple: it is believed that crypto is not just a speculative bubble but a real new method of purchase that it will acquire stability over the next few years. The fact that Xiaomi is accepting Bitcoin, Ethereum and company is symptomatic: on the one hand the value of these coins will continue to rise, on the other hand the hi-tech market will begin to take more and more interest in this new payment method. Could this not be the future of shopping?
