[Giver]

Biggest companies accepted Bitcoin already, now Bitcoin will spread, more small businesses will accept Bitcoin.

Who have bought already?


P.S

I didn't hear if the Mercedes-Benz accepting bitcoin and tesla is never making an announcement about they were officially accepting bitcoin for their payment. Especially for apple too.

Um...you got a reference on MB accepting bitcoin?  Haven't heard that, but that's cool if it's true.

But honestly I don't care much who takes it, because bitcoin is a lousy, deflating currency which--because of deflation AND volatility--keeps people from spending it.  I don't think I'd buy a Benz with bitcoin even if I had enough.

If that is the truth, I can say it is a very good news. I believe it will increase the use of bitcoin. It is a positive development for big companies to accept bitcoin.
Google Play Store and Apple Store will be a very serious ad impact if they come with bitcoin support.

On the contrary, the price of bitcoin is constantly increasing. After some negative news, it's a price drop. But the price is recovering short time.

Mercedes Benz a part of Daimler already announced their bitcoin acceptance for their services. Several big companies have started to accept bitcoin with official announcement. Microsoft has made a investment in creating its own Blockchain for specific purpose along with an Indian company. Those all are to show the world about bitcoin's increasing acceptance and universal growth.

Giver I haven't read a news article that the Mercedes Benz Company accepts Bitcoin.
If the Company wanted to make a bunch of money then I would think that Mercedes Benz Company would've announced Bitcoin acceptance to the public.

From what I see in the website articles, there is only a startup company called PayCash Europe SA and they aren't really the same as the Mercedes Benz Company. Mercedes Benz is likely to purchase the startup company according to an article within Cointelegraph.

Deflation, the opposite of inflation.  Inflation is when the value of your money goes down.  Bitcoin keeps gaining in value, hence it's deflating.  I do believe I'm using the terms correctly, but there's always the chance I'm wrong.

Can we purchase anything without providing registered credit card/bank account information? I don't know if I could steal hundreds of bitcoins and after mixing them using bitmixer for example for cleaning the tracks then easily go and buy a Mercedes Benz? that'd be great.

[Papa Bear]

hope in the future all companies engaged in the technology field to accept alternative payment using bitcoin.

[warwar]

Oh my god is it for real? I never heard that those you mentioned  are all accepting and already adopted bitcoin in their businesses.Good to hear that.I think this rooted when steam accepts bitcoin in their market and other big market get interested to it.I wanna see in the future that all big and small shops alreadt accepting bitcoin around the world

[izanagi narukami]

AFAIK Microsoft already using ETH for their project transaction

But for bitcoin , it's quite shock for me especially another big company such like Dell also accept bitcoin.
IMO , this will increase bitcoin influence around the world that affect bitcoin value increase gradually

it is always good to hear about new businesses accepting bitcoin but Mercedes Benz accepting bitcoin is a small one in my opinion because it is not a day to day thing and most people don't want to spend that much bitcoin anyways.

and Dell has been accepting bitcoin for a very long time. it is not a new thing.

Apple is impossible, Apple store has strict rules against virtual currency apps, so they are anti bitcoin, impossible to accept bitcoin. For Benz, never heard, which source? Dell and Microsoft were old news.

[staceyoh]

That is a great news
because big companies
are now accepting bitcoin.
They are now noticing the
advantages and benefits of bitcoin.

if you can use bitcoin of course you can get rid of credit/debit card, that's the whole point for bitcoin as a currency

the example about fungibility doesn't make sense to me, because you know you can do the same with cash, you steal them and use them to buy something

[nyanhtet]

To sell their products or what? We can tell other projects like ETH, LSK, Stratis also accept by Microsoft as service.

you can't receive the Mercedes Benz digitally or mix it! when you receive the car it is linked to you and you can eventually be found. specially if IRS takes a look at you and see you suddenly came to a big amount of money and bought an expensive car with it, they are going to come knocking at your door.

and this is a very common misunderstanding that people think they can get away with everything only because they are using bitcoin and it offers a "seemingly" anonymity.

This is a good news for Bitcoin market, I expect this trend to continue for some time, What I think is holding some of them back is the slow transaction, transaction fee and the Bitcoin volatility, if all of these would be resolved I can see more Bitcoin penetration

[novemberwoah]

Such as Apple, Microsoft, Dell I already know that they accept bitcoin, but Mercedes Benz I've heard if it accept bitcoin. Will it be possible to buy a Mercedes Benz car with bitcoin? If true it would be very interesting. Hopefully there will be more big companies who accept bitcoin. But Apple is only allowing the existence of an application that provides digital wallet services and trade crypto in iOS platform, it might be more interesting if they accept the purchase of products with bitcoin or other crypto.

[Sir Paijoe]

Wonderful, now bitcoin is used by large companies, and I'm sure will make a bitcoin as means of payment acceptable to replace the fiat money. I sure this news will make the price increase.
