In 2009 some person or a group of people under the alias of Satoshi Nakamoto created Bitcoin. We are living in the digital age, so there is no surprise that cryptocurrencies are slowly taking all over the world. Throughout its history Bitcoin has been jumping in value from $0.30 to $20,000. Although in 2018 it has fallen from $19,500 to $6,000, Bitcoin remains a hot topic. Cryptocurrencies can be exchanged for other currencies, products and services. While no one can say for sure whether Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies would replace standard currencies, more and more online services start accepting them. So, it didn't come as a surprise that certain online dating services started accepting cryptocurrencies. While vavabrides.com is yet to join the group of online dating sites where you can use Bitcoin, you can pick any from the following list.
Sparklet
Sparklet is a Bitcoin powered online dating site. Sparklet is designed for mobile devices. You can join for free. There is no matchmaking algorithms on Sparklet. You just scroll through the list of members and like them. The users of Sparklet sees when someone likes them. If they like you back, you are matched. There is a long manual on safety of your private and financial data on Sparklet. There are even instructions on how to act on the first offline date, including that you should get to know your date-mate well before going on the date and that you should meet in the public place. The site is fun to use, but there are certain flaws. First of all the site is still in development, thus certain technical errors are inescapable.
Luxy
This dating app launched in 2014 and now is one of the leading online dating services in the world, as it has paired more than one million people. Aside from that, Luxy became the first dating app to accept cryptocurrencies, and, definitely, it has started with Bitcoin.
