A northern Californian recruitment company called BHO Tech (Business Hub Opportunities) have drawn public attention by announcing that they will accept payments in Litecoin (LTC). Adding to the high profile of the world\'s sixth most popular cryptocurrency, Litecoin is increasingly being adopted by mainstream outlets as a means of payment.
\r\nLast week Litecoin launched a hook-up with a payment processor LitePay, to form LitePal, the altcoin version of PayPal. Adoption was also announced this week by US payment systems provider, Alliant, not to mention several retail outlets including an electronics \'e-tailer\' and a pharmacist. You could, if you wished, also buy a BMW with Litecoin, on Crypto Emporium, or open a Crypto Cafe.
\r\nThe BHO announcement highlights the increasing exposure of altcoin, and particularly demonstrates the public move away from Bitcoin. The headhunting firm operates in California\'s Bay Area and Los Angeles, and supplies all sorts of technical personnel. They have a special focus on the digital video industry, encompassing internet, network, broadcast and wireless applications. More than 200,000 engineering professionals are on their books, so the boost to Litecoin could be substantial.
\r\nLTC has made a steady recovery from last weekend\'s big crypto crash, and is pulling back up to a respectable value of $143.10.
The blockchain industry has grown exponentially, disrupting traditional markets and creating new opportunities for innovation.
