When will more retailers accept Bitcoin

[HasHe]

Only when bitcoin is legalized,more retailers would come forward to accept bitcoin payments.For example,just before few days we saw that bitcoin got legalized in japan and immediately lots of traders started accepting bitcoin as payment which lead to increase in demand for bitcoins resulting in increase in its price.Alsowhen bitcoin becomes more stable,retailers would start accepting bitcoins.

Is hard for some retailers to trust easily for bitcoin because isn't legal already aside from that is the sudden change of value. Even though they are aware of that but they also thinking if the existence of this digital currency will survive in the future or it will suddenly disappear. If all the countries make this digital currency become legal probably and have a concrete rules and control by the government it is possible that all retailers accept bitcoin as a mode of payment for any transactions.

In order to trade with bitcoins evolved no need to wait for its legalization. It is enough to reduce the price per transaction, and reduce the time of confirmation of payment. I hope this problem will be solved and then we will see growth proposals. Legalization can only slow down the process.

Yes i see japan is the leading country in accepting Bitcoin and use it to pay the costs of electricity and water. That also proves that if want the whole retailer to accept bitcoin, the government of that country must accept bitcoin, Bitcoins need to be legalized for circulation and widely accepted. At present bitcoin is still not so popular and does not get the trust of users and retailers, it needs the support from the government

It's like the electric cars then, nobody is buying a car cause there are no charging stations cause there are no people buying cars.

Retailers can start accepting bitcoin any time.Less than 1% of them care about the price.
Most are using 3rd party payment gateways and they get usd not bitcoin at the end of the transaction.

Even overstock, with the founder a BTC enthusiast wasn't keeping more than 10% in coins.

If they don't take payments yet they need to be hammered with examples of business getting more customers with BTC otherwise they won't feel the need to add a BTC gateway

When more retailers will receive Bitcoin, I think it's just a matter of time, because the more bitcoin the more it uses, the possibility of bitcoin will continue to grow and the price will be more expensive

I agree, bitcoin has already made a huge impact on the internet and the news of it rising up has been the talk of forums and blogs and videos, and i think that the more poeple will join in the soooner it will become widly accepted.

[CrewKitten]

As Bitcoin becomes more popular more retailers will accept it naturally as they can make money by doing so but right now most retailers do not accept because most people don't have Bitcoin so really it depends and mostly online for online purchases these days but some retailers do accept it.

[Dart18]

Japan yes. But what is the truth?
There are not much of stores that accepts it and it is a difficult task to achieve. Even if the price looks so inviting there is doubt about the fluctuations.
They want a price that is stable and it will be hard to deal with bitcoin and customers using it.
Even by focusing on how it will work, it is scary that you might even lose your business if  everything goes down.

Wide acceptance of bitcoin is found to some extent. This will increase when more people start using bitcoin directly for different purposes starting from purchasing. More retailers start accepting when the people start using it for purchasing in large scale. In the past some retailers started accepting bitcoin and stopped the service all of a sudden, because they didn't gained big through it.

yeah it is right bitcoin is being more popular because the users of the bitcoin are increasing in number a lot of people are now trusting bitcoin and I think bitcoin will be accepted in more and more businesses because it is more easy to use than the fiat money . At the use of the bitcoin you do not need to meet the receiver but top pay the fiat you will have to travel alt or may be city to city and bitcoin can be paid online so it is a kind of relaxation in bitcoin and it makes the bitcoin to be acceptable easily.

I keep hearing about "legalization" of bitcoin. 

Where is it that you think bitcoin is illegal?

For this is mainly think when they laundry money over bitcoin or some other crypto. Second there were even talks about it in 2015 when this was mainly questioned but that is now past tense. Legalization is something like Japan done it, they accepted it in every day trade and purchase and this is something that need to progress for all countries and to get global scale.

I guess I get that. But most places, like here in the US it can be used for whatever trading you like. It is legal to use tennis shoes as money if you want. Illegal is very different and I am not sure if there is any place where it is illegal.

yeah more retailers will accept bitcoin as mode of payment when they see the huge number of people who use bitcoin, and in my view this thing will happen soon bitcoin will continue to soar high and more people will get involve into it for sure. So it takes time but im sure we will achieve that goal.

[Kronos21]

I think the problem is not that the sellers are not willing to accept bitcoins, but the problem is that buyers do not want to spend their bitcoins. Everyone is trying to keep the coins in your wallet and earn on the price increase.

"Japan: No Bitcoin Tax, Thousands of Stores to Accept the Cryptocurrency"

article published July, 5, 2017
https://edgylabs.com/2017/07/05/japan-no-bitcoin-tax-stores-accept-cryptocurrency/

"AirRegi is a widely used, tablet-based point-of-sale app in Japan. Currently, around 260,000 establishments, stores, and commercial facilities use this proprietary app to accept payments from their clients."

It makes sense that a transition to accept bitcoin would be underway for more US-based stores.

Retailers will accept Bitcoin as a currency if it is legal in your country. If there'll be more people to use and invest in Bitcoin, it is possible that more countries like North Korea, will make it legal as a currency. Maybe, if the price of Bitcoin will be less volatile, more countries will make it legal. The value of Bitcoin dependa on the market's demand, and if the demand is high, the price will be less volatile. If it's less volatile, there is a chance that it will be legal to most of the countries. If it is legal, more retailers will accept it as a payment.

Either customers will need to demand that retailers accept Bitcoin, or the government would need to embrace it more like Japan's has. I don't think the US government will allow tax free Bitcoin transactions. If customers of stores would ask if they accept Bitcoins as payment, some stores may begin to check in to accepting it to satisfy the customers.

Yes you are right nowadays many retailers do not accept bitcoin because the user's of bitcoin is limited and many people have no bitcoin, but nowadays bitcoin goes to popularity and everyone want to wish to use it and when bitcoin will become to more popular every retailers would be accept bitcoin with willingness because this time bitcoin will be very precious.

Oh , finally somebody nailed it.
Before we could even start talking about segwit being activated I told a lot of guys, 300k retailers accepting bitcoin but... only 300k transactions a day and the chain is full.
So at best each shop would get 1 customer a day paying with BTC , if we only talk about Japan and the rest of the world stops using it.

And people will not use it for shopping. Not in an overwhelming proportion.
Probably 99% are waiting for the price to reach 4k then 5k then 6k...forget daily shopping.
We will see this only when the % increase will be negligible.
