Bitcoin Takes Root in Fornelli, Italy! In a remarkable move towards digital currency adoption, the charming Italian town of Fornelli, home to just 2,000 residents, has embraced Bitcoin like never before! Thanks to the passion of local enthusiast Mattia Pannoni, nearly all merchants in this quaint community are now accepting Bitcoin as a form of payment. From the supermarket to the bakery, barber, car mechanic, bars, restaurants, B&Bs, and even the flower shop. Twenty merchants in total are on board. Fornelli boasts more Bitcoin-accepting businesses than the bustling city of Naples, which has a population of over 1 million! While Fornelli may not be a well-known tourist hotspot, it offers a unique glimpse into authentic Italian life, blending tradition with modernity. This small town is setting a big example for others, showcasing how communities can adapt to the digital age.
