Indeed there are! Here's a short Wired article I saw about the concept a few months back: http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2013/07/buttonwood/ http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2013/07/buttonwood/ One of my clients actually said to me, at the closing of a project: "I don't know if you take bit coins, but I'm gonna go see my bitcoin guy in a few. I don't like to buy online. Anyway, if you want to be paid in bit coins, let me know! Otherwise I'll drop the check in the mail tomorrow." (that's paraphrased a bit, as I cannot remember the exact wording, but the meat of the quote is the same.)
