Okay... For regulars you may have wondered where I have been the last few days - Or maybe not! For SEO purposes - OMG Paradise Goa Is Bitcoin Heaven You Need To Get Out Here - Yup I took another Bitcoin paid flight due to a €2500 vacation on Goa going for a snip at €250 due to cancellation... you know I snatched it up, especially after chatting to a guy who knows Goa well, and how Crypto has been embraced in Paradise.

So I have gotten myself fully clued up while I await going outside of this amazing hotel I am staying at... and boy, oh boy, oh boy! If you're as excited as I am about the prospect of using Bitcoin to pay for your accommodations and drinks in a beautiful tropical destination such as Goa, then you're in luck... I did some digging around for a few hours, and I've managed to grab the latest info, some straight from the source – as of May 2023, because I am good to you like that... these are the hottest hotels and bars in Goa that accept Bitcoin as payment.

Let's start with the hotels, shall we? First up, we have the W Goa in Vagator. This luxury hotel is a real gem, boasting not one, but two private beaches, an infinity pool, and a full-service spa. And get this – they accept Bitcoin as payment! So go ahead and enjoy your stay in paradise without having to worry about exchanging your digital currencies for cash or credit.

To cut a long story short-ish... I had my arm twisted into reluctantly taking this bargain €250 vacation deal that usual cost €2500 for 5-days - That bargain option is the Hard Rock Hotel, Goa, in Calangute. This rock 'n' roll-themed hotel is promised as a real treat for music lovers, featuring a poolside DJ, live music performances, and even music-inspired room decor... And it is as far as I have seen. And the icing on the cake? They accept Bitcoin as payment! So go ahead and live it up like a rockstar, without having to fumble around for cash or your credit card... I know I am about to given I have a little extra Satoshi... I love it when something just falls on my lap out of the blue.

Okay... let's talk about the bars I have sourced. I guess if I'm in the mood for a late-night tipple, I can head on over to the SkyBar in Panaji. I read that the rooftop bar boasts stunning panoramic views of the cityscape and the river below. And what's even better than the view? The fact that they accept Bitcoin as payment! So go ahead and splurge on that fancy cocktail XTRM – you've earned it! (Chuckles)

Next up is a place I have heard a lot about, and definitely will be visiting - the Liquid Lounge in Anjuna. This hotspot and beachside bar is a real chillout location, featuring comfortable beanbag chairs and hammocks for lounging on the beach in the sun, or tree's in the shade. And the best part? You guessed it... they accept Bitcoin as payment! So with that you know I am about to go ahead and enjoy a cold one on the beach, without any fuss or hassle... I can say it is stifflingly hot here and it is only 7am!

If like me you may be looking for a more upscale experience a little later, I have been told to check out the Sunset Ashram Bar and Restaurant in Mandrem. This beachside establishment is known locally as the perfect spot to watch the sun go down, with panoramic views of the ocean and a laid-back, bohemian atmosphere. And you guessed it again – they accept Bitcoin as payment! It does seem to be a favourite to enjoy a romantic dinner and drinks with your special someone, (cry... my GF is too busy to be here, it's okay really... life) or on your own if like me. It matters not, you/I won't be having to worry about fumbling cash or hitting your credit card limit... just splash out tapping your/my Crypto Apps... will we now? (Chuckles)

Aaaaand last but not least I have also sourced the Tito's Club in Baga. Not that I had to, I passed this place earlier and I nearly freaked out l... this is a legendary nightclub, and I know full well that it is a must-visit for anyone looking to party the night away in Goa. Some huge rave events have happened here... And get this hahaaar – they accept Bitcoin as payment! So go ahead and party like there's no tomorrow... I know I will, with all the freedom and convenience of digital cryptocurrency... Bitcoin. (Do I read like I am excited yet?) 

I know what some of the less tech-savvy will be thinking - you're thinking – why on earth would anyone travel without cash or credit cards? I have come out of my comfort zone on a mission to try and assess if Bitcoin does actually make everything so much easier while travelling long distances... Myself? I am quickly figuring out there are plenty of reasons to embrace the cryptocurrency and move forward into a new future spending world... and it is not as complicated as many folk think. To start off with Bitcoin transactions are incredibly fast on most of the payment systems I have used during this journey... plus secure, and as anonymous as it can be bar the KYC on your apps - You don't have to worry about carrying cash or sharing your personal financial details with anyone basically... you just have to grab the bull by the horns, learn the basics of Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency, also stop being chicken... in my opinion.

It seems that so far Bitcoin offers significant cost savings over traditional payment methods. You don't have to worry about exchange rates, transaction fees, or fraud... It's all pretty much cut-and-dried, digital, and fast as lightning where Lightning Network is used. This has been via most of the Bitcoin payments in any case far.

I will of course update this journey further, but I will point out - it matters not if you're a tech-savvy early adopter or just someone looking for a quick and easy way to pay for your holiday, Bitcoin is the way to go... buff up and use it.

So there you have it – you are all up-to-date on info about which hotels and bars in Goa that accept Bitcoin as payment as of May 2023. So go ahead and try this out for sure - enjoy all the beauty, fun, and excitement that Goa has to offer with Bitcoin. I cannot believe the amount of freedom, flexibility, and convenience I found in using Bitcoin payments instead of cash, and blinking insuring my cash and bank/credit cards..  now time to truly relax and enjoy my well-earned holiday in Paradise! Cheers all...
