American radio host Alex Jones, known well for his conspiracy theories, is apparently now accepting bitcoin on his online store.
NEWSBTC confirmed the option is available upon check out (which you can view yourself), meaning fans of Jones can purchase anything from emergency radios to herbal products.
Jones has taken a recent interest in the digital currency, which really doesn’t come as too much of a surprise, even devoting segments on his program to the topic, as seen in the clip below.

It would appear as if the Infowars store has partnered up with BitPay to make the acceptance happen, which is interesting because the options as provided on the Infowars store label the payment method as just that, BitPay (with bitcoin in parenthesis).
Strange execution, but it could very well be profitable for Infowars.
Now, it would be interesting to see whether or not Jones will keep the bitcoin in its digital form in the future, but for now, he’ll instantly convert it to United States dollars. As pointed out by a comment below, he isn’t quite interested in investing yet.
What do you think about Jones’ move into the bitcoin territory? Does he fit in or do you think he’s on a mission to take advantage of the opportunity?
He says in the video they are dumping the coins immediately and says he isn’t invested in bitcoin (yet).
He should put his money where is mouth is, and keep a little bitcoin for himself, if not he is losing allot of credit from me and other like me. Overstock.com on the other hand gained allot of credit and is a leading example in the cryptosphere.
I was wondering why the price was falling…
Regardless of what one thinks about Mr. Jones and his movement, we think this is a significant development — Jones’s “conspiracy” oriented crowd has traditionally been one of the most Bitcoin-skeptical sectors of the liberty movement.
