You are now able to use your bitcoins to shop at Walmart, Chipotle, gas stations

[noormcs5]

We want bitcoins to be avaible and accepted everywhere. 

[RobinHoodster]

If this is true this is a huge improvement. To be able to pay at these stores shows that Bitcoin is getting bigger and more popular. But this is I think only in the US but it is a beginning.

[adibe]

It's great news though. But sadly there's no shop or gas stations that accept bitcoins, because bitcoins are not popular here. Maybe someday my country will have some.

[Hirose UK]

wow lucky american! there are so many shops on the list.

I'm looking forward to see kind of thing will happen in my country. perhaps I need book store accepts bitcoin as payment.

anyway is there any book store on the list? I can't recognize what shops are they all.

Yeah they are pretty lucky that bitcoin is already accepted on some shop there,i too will wait for that to happen in my country so far only a 3rd party exchanger is available here.

[Metadextrous]

Good news... that's a big list of vendors that accept bitcoins as a mode of payment in US.

meanwhile i'm still waiting for bitcoin to be accepted as a mode of payment in my country

Merchant acceptance is, IMO, the biggest single key to BTC becoming mainstream.  I am happy to see progress being made here.  I will have to test-fire WAL-MART next time I go (there is not one close by to where I live).

The next issue for the Bitcoin Ecosystem would be making far easier for beginners to acquire BTC, and not have to pay very high premiums (14% or more at BTC ATMs).

I can't wait for the day when people can load up their Starbucks app directly using bitcoins. Then people can keep their silly coffee purchases off the blockchain, regardless of whether we have > 1MB blocks or not.

Today to buy coffee using bitcoins still requires 3 steps:
1) BTC -> Starbucks card via CardCash, Gyft, etc.
2) Load app with card number. This can be really annoying for the lazy people of today as it requires typing in over a dozen number into their phones.
3) Use the credits.

Looks like this site is working on allowing you to load bitcoins to the online wallet, then you can just go to Starbucks and pay with the app.

I think in the near future the Bitcoin will be the real international currency,used by everyone.

no doubt about this. bitcoin is the currency of futre. big marketplace and source already using bitcoin and more getting ready to accept bitcoin so soon. I can predict that bitcoin will be number 1 online currency in the web.

you right,we can se for now how the development of bitcoin.

[alisafidel58]

This is a great news for the bitcoin users and this is a step away from being well know in the market now that more companies is getting into bitcoin its price will rise now.

[nydiacaskey01]

That will be great if you can directly purchase any item to those shops in the list using Bitcoins but if you are using a work around like debit cards and gift cards then we are still not using Bitcoins to pay for it. It's still a work around.

yes. it is also far away for bitcoin to purchase thing directly. but it is also a very big move for bitcoin. if we can buy cards with bitcoin and can shop every thing with these cards. it mean we are buying things with bitcoin.

Do you directly pay for everything with Federal Reserve Notes or do you use workarounds?

[Wendigo]

I don't think it's an issue if we use gift cards purchased with Bitcoins to shop around in the big supermarket chains. I don't know how many confirmations Walmart would require before confirming the purchase if you were using Bitcoins directly plus there are usually a lot of people waiting in line so it would surely be slower than just giving them gift cards. And by the way PayPal is a workaround to your bank account as well but people aren't complaining about that are they?

Banks are a workaround to using Federal Reserve Notes.

[Nahl]

actually sometimes I was envied for those who can purchases their needs using their bitcoin on daily life because i'm not able to do that and my country not admit bitcoin because they don't like to bitcoin users so for me in the near future impossible to do so

[Labumi]

Very exciting news for those of us who have always faithfully using Bitcoin. This is the beginning of our victory in the Bitcoin introduce more broadly, because we know that all these companies have a broad market and so the more people who know Bitcoin and after knowing the advantages of Bitcoin is much better than the other, would they immediately using Bitcoin. A growing number of companies that accept Bitcoin as more people use the Bitcoin

[Elwar]

Hmm, let me try this to see what the fuss is all about:


Wow, that is an interesting title. I did not actually read anything other than the title but I find this as a great step forward for Bitcoin. I think this will somehow benefit Bitcoin in that people will adopt it more and the price will go up. Now I hope that the title gets out to more people so that they will also know about the title.




Did I do it right? Is that the formula you use for posting? Am I supposed to get paid now? I'm not sure how this works.

[rababo]

This is good news.
I hope more online stores/shops and stores/shops in real life will accept bitcoin as payment in near future.
Therefore I can spend my bitcoin easier.
