Although it is the first in New York City, Somewhere Nowhere is not the first nightclub to begin accepting cryptocurrency payments. Last year, a Las Vegas strip club announced that it would begin accepting BTC payments in its club. The Crazy Horse 3, a “gentlemen’s club” said that it would first begin accepting bitcoin payments for bottle service in the club, which would eventually spread to other services.
