Bitcoin acceptance

[jc89]

You can pay with Bitcoin in several stores and even restaurants here in Germany. Are we the only one who have this? 

Wow, that's nice to hear. Surely, there are also other developed countries who have wider acceptance of bitcoin. Sad to say that here in Philippines I haven't heard if there's any merchant who accepts btc as payment. Maybe there are already I just haven't heard of it. But I'm positive that there will be, if none already, in the near future since there are lots of international merchants here. I'm pretty sure they accept btc in their main store abroad.

Wow thats great. I wish someday in my country will have store or restaurant that can pay with bitcoin. I think some country like japan accept bitcoin as a payment.

In Romania there are no physical locations to accept bitcoin payments, but some ATM's. You can also pay with bitcoin in 2-5 online shops and this is all.
Also PayPal has had difficulties, now you can pay with PayPal in may online shops. 10 years ago no one has heard of PayPal, no one knew what PayPal was. Romania is behind Germany with some 10-15 years in what it concerns electronic payments, and electronic wallets.

No, as far as I know all around the world, there many merchants now are bitcoin accepted  such as Starbucks not all outlet, like here in my country we had some restaurant here also bitcoin accepted, which is very nice and awesome to see.

Oh yeah and United States are quite a few businesses that readily take the coins. It can be a little weird and there's a growth. For some of these smaller businesses, but that's one of the services we provide my setting him up with a cert framework that can buffer the technology overload from hitting them.

I doubt that you are the only one that can spend Bitcoin directly to merchants. I am quite aware about the formal announcement of Japan, they started accepting Bitcoin as a mode of payment last April. After that event, many merchant and businesses began accepting Bitcoin as a mode of payment. The last news I remember, even an airport in Japan accepts Bitcoin.

The biggest thing, is a combination of a 20 minute confirmation. And a highly fluctuating value of each coin. I mean you literally have the ability to look at a business's website and calculate that you need 0.00 5 BTC to purchase X item. Which right now should be I think about $17. Now in order to avoid a confirmation. At the store you go ahead and initiate the transaction some of that it's fully confirmed when you get to the store.

You are lucky that your local stores and restaurants accepts Bitcoin as a mode of payment. Here in my country we can pay bills like electric bills and even insurance agencies there are also selected stores but they are located in different areas I know nothing about a physical store here in my province accepting BTC. I hope one day I can see local stores accepting Bitcoin near in my area like restaurants, department stores et cetera. But it is now hard to transact if we have smaller funds or we are going to buy in smaller quantities because transaction fees are too high. Transaction fees are way too high compared on the price of goods we bought from local stores. How about transaction fees OP? Is it a yay or nay?

No, we have caffes, restaurant and a school that accepts bitcoin for scholarship, and tbh I'm a bit surprised. Also, we got an ATM recently for buy/sell and 2 for just buying btc. We're doing pretty well considering we're not that huge country at all.

[riyaz22]

Yes people around the world accepting bitcoin now.Not only people but many country giving it a legal certificate to trade bitcoin.May be very soon we will see bitcoin with a CFD status.But still a very large number of people not aware about bitcoin and its benefit, maybe only 20% of people know about it and how to use bitcoin.what will its price when 50% or more people(countries, entities, business houses etc) start accepting bitcoin???

[wawan99]

Maybe yes, because in my country Indonesia does not know legal or illegal

[Metoo.14]

Bitcoin is accepted offline as payment method in some developped countries like Germany, but it is still not supported in my country nor in the most countries worldwide. Even online the great marketplaces like ebay and Amazon still not supporting Bitcoin.

There are several countries starting to accepting Bitcoin, and in Japan the government already legalized it, so you can live by only spending Bitcoin in Japan, and in some country bar and restaurant accepting Bitcoin, in Italy you can pay taxi with Bitcoin, I won't be surprised in the next few years there will be a lot of things we can buy using bitcoin

There are lot of merchants that has been scattered all over the world who accepted bitcoin as payment to their business. Some of it was restaurant, coffee shop, fine dining, and some are remittance outlet in the entire world. This thing happen due to bitcoin is volatile.

There is little incentive for a shop to accept bitcoin at the moment.

Granted, its pretty easy to actually accept BTC, via coinbase, bitpay, the list goes on. but what would be the reason? there is a pretty strong chance absolutely none of your customers are actually holding bitcoin, even if they have heard of it. the initial confirmation takes way too long for how fast the average point of sale transaction takes. if it were a drive through, those precious seconds would add up to a big wait for people farther back in the line.

the fees fuck this up as well. you have to sell pretty expensive stuff in order to justify the fees, and you would have to eat them yourself. most modern customers wouldnt accept the idea of an additional fee on top of the purchase price.

and finally, if someone does use bitcoin, if you want to spend it, you have to convert it right back to fiat to buy more goods/pay workers.

so, just easier to take fiat.

[bubblebit]

I have few known stores in my country who do accept bitcoin as a payment for goods and services. But as of now I don't have any idea if there are restaurants or any food chains that is within my country has the same bitcoin transaction and available features like that.
But it is a must for the popularity of bitcoin as of now maybe there is high numbers of users who are residence here.

Not sure about that, maybe some countries do accept bitcoins in specific stores and restaurants but I guess limited only.
Like in my country, btc is not widely accepted because government is not yet acknowledging its use.

In the philippines, we can pay monthly bills such as electricty, water, cable services and internet using bitcoin . But only few people know about this because they prefer word of mouth advertising than using mass media
