The first legendary restaurant bar in Germany in Berlin "Room 77", to accept payments in cryptocurrencies, closed its doors permanently!
Founder Joerg Platzer said he received his first crypto payment in May 2011 in exchange for a pint of beer. But, given that the average price of beer in Germany is around $ 4.10 and that Bitcoin had just reached parity with the US dollar by that time. But now anyway, at the current exchange rate, the price of a mug of beer would be over $ 45,000! (then impossible to sell!!)
However the former customers speculate that this closure may be linked to restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic.
