I already heard about Dell accepting Bitcoin, and maybe Microsoft if I remember correctly, but never saw anyone talking about Mercedes-Benz accepting Bitcoin. So I guess this is just invented news. If what I remember is correct, Lamborghini accepts Bitcoin, but I doubt Mercedes-Benz will do it since they are more oriented toward the consumption, and thus the fiat money. They are very tied to the German government which is with the European Central Bank. However, if this would happen one day, I would probably buy one soon.

Dell or microsoft has paused accepting bitcoin for a while and don't know if they are accepting now. Apple does not accept bitcoin as far as I know. |

Giant and famous campanies such as Apple, Microsoft and Mercedez Benz acceptance of bitcoin will bring an uproar to the community and bitcoin will be highlighted and be well known. Though it is not yet available in our country but I hope sooner or later it will reach us. This move by those companies will shed ligh and inspiration to small shops to accept bitcoin as a method of payment in exchange for goods and services. |

There are no information about Apple or dell or even Microsoft accpeting Bitcoin for a long time. It is a long process and I doubt that Bitcoin can be accpetable in the next few year. According to my experience and what I have read, most of the company still do not want to involve in this currency due to many ridiculous reasons. Moreover, there are still many countries dislike Bitcoin and I think it is the main reason why most of the people refuse to add bitcoin to their system |

It is a good news for the Bitcoin society but they will be closely looking at the market coz companies like those don't want to mess up with their share market.  |

If I am not wrong, some weeks ago Mercedes bought a bitcoin related company, don't remember the name. It doesn't mean they are going to accept for buying their outrageous priced cars, but at least they see a potential with cryptocurrencies, or at least bitcoin. I don't think it's going to happen soon to see them accepting bitcoin, the market is so small for them to even think about it. As for microsoft, i think it is since a llong time they accept bitcoin now, same about Dell

This is certainly encouraging news. with the acceptance of bitcoin in a large company, the bitcoin can grow to be better.
bitcoin can be known and more widely used by the general public.

This is the sign that the real progress of bitcoin is getting started. Big companies already accepting bitcoin and i'm pretty sure that the small ones will follow and it will create hype and causes a massive adoption between different countries. I hope this kind of adoption will continue to the next years so it will help the price to skyrocket.

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.  I wonder who has that amount of bitcoins to buy a Mercedes? I think that this statement is more PR the shares of these companies. Besides if anyone can buy a car with bitcoin then it will be free to talk all the news in the world. |

Besides if anyone can buy a car with bitcoin then it will be free to talk all the news in the world. i just googled "Mercedes-Benz price" and their prices actually start from $34,475 and it is ~34.4 bitcoins right now and you could have bought that much with a lot less last year. even if you bought it at $500 that means you invested your money for a year to get it doubled and be able to buy a car with it. |

Some people have enough Bitcoins to buy a car or even a house, that is not the issue but the question is if they realy can do it, will they find a merchant that accepts Bitcoins for this stuff. I haven't heard that Mercedes or Apple are directly accepting Bitcoins but you can probably use Bitcoin debit card. Or what is even more likely, change Bitcoins for fiat and then buy desired item.

I haven't heard it as well. Yes money is not the question here but who will actually buy a Mercedes using bitcoin. If I'm going to buy a Mercedez, I would rather use my fiat and just invest my bitcoin in trading. Unless we really heard a news that someone has bought a Mercedez car, I'm not believing this. |

I guess only certain regions and very limited part of the business in Microsoft, Dell etc are accepting bitcoin... but so far not very popular... As for Apple, I have not heard anything...

One person posts a topic filled with lies or incorrect information, can you register in Azure using bitcoin? can you register google cloud with bitcoin?
If a company directly deals with bitcoin/selling products to an anonymous buyer, though when you try to register the car no longer anonymous but still can be considered tax evasion unless they exchange the coins to fiat but still they need name and address of buyer.

This is good new if it is true. This are big companies and they accepting bitcoin is a big step. I just wished OP can also include some reference so we can confirm if the topic is real or not.

He didn't say anything about buying anon though, but yeah sources would be nice. I've heard MS paused bitcoin payments after the crash to 600 but is planning to resume. The car dealerships or any other physical dealership currently accepting bitcoins do require all the details of the buyer, after all they're just using it as a normal currency and it will have to be documented for tax. Why this seems like a foreign concept to you is beyond me but taxing bitcoins have been going on for a while |

Just as long as the representative of those brands are not anti-trump then they will do just fine. Look at the sponsors of the The Rock and Stephen Curry. They are very vocal of being against what the Trump administration stands for and now their company who plasters them in Under Armor is paying the price now. Stocks have plummpted for them due to their political views. Those view should not be mixed in with your business ventures. Let's get our heads out of asses their Rock & Steph Curry. And keep politics out of the work space. What do you pay those hefty fees your PR people charge towards your brand recognition for? |
