As payments are getting digitised, more and more people are switching to cryptocurrencies. From college students to professionals, a lot of folks are investing in Bitcoin, DigiCoin, Etherium and whatnot. And now, a few places in India have started accepting these digital currencies too for payments. For example, YOLO Backpackers hostel chain in Himachal Pradesh takes cryptocurrencies for long stays. In other words, if you stay for a long duration in one of its hostels, you can ditch the cash for paying the final bill. YOLO Backpackers have hostels in Himachal’s Pulga and Manali.
