There are now many merchants big, small and those in between which are now accepting Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in their business. With the help of third-party applications, they are able to integrate Bitcoin option with their infrastructure. Here are some in the list as provided by payments startup Flexa:
Barnes & Noble, Baskin Robbins, Bed Bath & Beyond, Caribou Coffee, Crate & Barrel, Express, GameStop, Jamba Juice, Lowe’s, Nordstrom, Office Depot & OfficeMax, Petco, Regal Cinemas, Ulta Beauty and Amazon-owned Whole Foods Market and of course Starbucks
Source is here. The names are the who's who in their respective industries. Now, we are all hoping that soon more and more big names will be coming on board so as to boost Bitcoin and the rest of the cryptocurrency club. I know that we are still far cry from mainstream adoption but we can get there one merchant at a time. Soon if this whole thing can be sailing smoothly, there can be an avalanche of support from the business community.
These are certainly big merchants but they do not have mass reach.
We need ebay, Amazon and other merchants that are well known to general public to accept Bitcoin.
Once that happens, BTC will be adopted by mass.
