Bitcoin at Empire Fence
At Empire Fence, we’ve always believed that craftsmanship doesn’t stop at the job site. It extends to how we operate, how we think long-term, and how we prepare for the future. That’s why we accept Bitcoin as a form of payment.
​
Not because it’s trendy — but because it aligns with how we build our business:
with clarity, intention, and a long-term mindset.
Why We Accept Bitcoin
We see Bitcoin as a tool — not a gimmick.
Just like new materials, better equipment, or improved building methods, technology evolves. Businesses that last are the ones willing to learn, adapt, and make informed decisions.
​
For customers who already use Bitcoin, it’s a natural fit.
For those who don’t, nothing changes — traditional payment methods are always available.
Accepting Bitcoin allows us to:
-
Offer customers an additional, modern payment option
-
Reduce reliance on traditional financial intermediaries
-
Operate with transparency and efficiency
-
Stay informed and engaged with emerging technology
A Brief, Plain-English History of Bitcoin
Bitcoin was introduced in 2009 as a decentralized digital form of money. Unlike traditional currencies, it isn’t controlled by a bank, company, or government.
Instead, it operates on a public, transparent network where:
-
Transactions are verifiable
-
Supply is limited
-
Rules are consistent and predictable
​
Over time, Bitcoin has grown from a niche technology into a globally recognized financial network used by individuals, institutions, and businesses around the world.
We don’t view it as speculation — we view it as infrastructure.
How Bitcoin Has Benefited Our Business
Accepting Bitcoin has pushed us to think more intentionally about:
-
Long-term planning
-
Financial education
-
Operational efficiency
-
Risk management
​
It’s encouraged us to stay curious, ask better questions, and continually improve how we run our company.
Most importantly, it reinforces a principle we’ve lived by since 1993:
build for the long haul.
Is Bitcoin Required?
Absolutely not.
Accepting Bitcoin is an option, not an expectation.
We’re happy to work with customers using traditional payment methods as well.
Our goal is flexibility, transparency, and trust — always.
