I am Jens Leinert (aka Onleines) and have spent my professional career in the Internet payment industry and am now focusing on Bitcoin as a means of payment.
I am the managing director of the Bitcoin eCommerce agency Internetactive and a member of the board of the Bitcoin Bundesverband.
With the Bitcoin eCommerce Agency, we operate Coinpages, a Bitcoin directory with all stores in German-speaking countries that accept Bitcoin.
With Coincharge, we run a blog and YouTube channel that explains how to pay with Bitcoin and Lightning and how to accept Bitcoin and Lightning payments in your business or online store.
I have worked in various positions in the internet payments industry for over 20 years.
In 2015, I became aware of Bitcoin and its advantages for payment processing. Since 2020, I have been focusing exclusively on Bitcoin and Lightning as a means of payment.
As a consultant, speaker and implementation partner, I support companies in accepting Bitcoin and Lightning as a means of payment on the Internet and in online stores.
I am a board member of the Bitcoin Bundesverband
The Bitcoin Bundesverband represents the interests of Bitcoin companies and aims to improve society’s understanding of Bitcoin.
I personally want to help establish Bitcoin as a means of payment, show how many and which companies already accept Bitcoin payments and reduce legal and tax hurdles for payments.
