In another step toward going fully mainstream, Bitcoin is now being accepted by OKCupid.
The dating site started accepting payments in the crypto currency on Tuesday, joining a series of other companies that already process payments in Bitcoins.
Bitcoin, a digital peer-to-peer currency based on cryptography, was created in 2009 by a mysterious man supposedly named Satoshi Nakamoto. A lot has changed since its early days as an Internet curiosity. Bitcoin is now a household name. It topped $200 already and has forced U.S. authorities to apply money laundering rules to its exchange.

As a result, the list of companies accepting payments in Bitcoins is growing everyday. OKCupid is just the last on the list, but there will certainly be more. The dating site has partnered with Coinbase, a platform to buy and sell Bitcoins. So now OKCupid users who want to buy the premium subscription called “A-List” can use their Bitcoins. A-List costs $10 a month, or 0.10 Bitcoins, according to conversion rates at press time.
