One of the longest-standing questions in the Bitcoin community has been where the technology will take off first. Some have said that Bitcoin makes much more sense in the developing world, while others claim developed nations like the United States have the sort of tech savvy and wealthy population necessary to give this new technology a boost.

If more merchants can see this and not pull out before this happens, we will see a massive jump in acceptance. I quote,

" ....accepting the digital currency becomes much easier for merchants when it’s at least included as a possible option. Once it becomes widely available to merchants, it then becomes easier for businesses to reap the benefits of the low-cost, irreversible payment system. "

It would be great to see Bitcoin accepted everywhere in Brazil, because it is a good tourist destination and much cheaper than most of the other countries I have visited.
