Big Merchants Now Accepting Bitcoin

[Vishnu.Reang]

Here in India, it is now very easy to spend your coins. We can easily purchase various gift vouchers using Bitcoin, and these gift vouchers in turn can be used to purchase anything ranging from gold/diamond jewelry, flight tickets, hotel bookings, stuff at Amazon.in and grocery from supermarkets to payments at salons and media sites. So direct payments are not even necessary.

Indeed, even little scope traders have begun tolerating bitcoin, Starbucks once began to acknowledge bitcoin and since of a deferral with the system affirmation it halted the administration. Significantly the overwhelming majority of the anchored systems are tolerating through a delegate who pay the firm as far as fiat. This must change, at exactly that time we will locate the real development it have accomplished as far as acknowledgment.

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.

It is very good. the more large companies that accept bitcoin, the more support it will have in the world. With the increase in companies that have accepted bitcoin, the public will also realize that the digital financial system offered by Bitcoin can make a positive impact to move the wheels of the community's economy, especially online. Other companies should have followed their lead.

They say the big reason why the market is bullish now is because of institutional money getting invested, I think they are correct because we are now seeing a new ATH. The current price is already @21k and still growing.

So probably if the price will become more stable, merchants would enjoy adding bitcoin as it's getting more popular now.

Hopefully this would not result to a big dump, it might disappoint people from investing again, well, if it's true that it's the institutional money getting invested, then we can be confident that it will not dump.

As much positive news about Bitcoin spreading around the world, big merchants consider participating in using Bitcoin. Moreover, there are already some established companies that accepted Bitcoin as a payment tool, it triggers more big merchants to accept Bitcoin. However, I hope it is not only about the hype but it also really makes a new improvement in the payment system. So, it becomes a solution for people to be easier doing payment transactions.

Cryptocurrency is not only a solution for people to make payment with ease but also the solution to economic breakdown and the important parties restricting crypto to be seen as a solution in the payment scheme are the banks, institutions and some governments who are now joining the crypto movement.

Hopefully this would not result to a big dump, it might disappoint people from investing again, well, if it's true that it's the institutional money getting invested, then we can be confident that it will not dump.

The big dump won't happen now but a lot of private companies and institutions that invest in crypto may manipulate the market price so we should be prepared for a terrible market dump when it total bear market next year.

They will accepting bitcoin now because it is trends and the price is very high and once a business accepts bitcoin for sure they get more clients also who use bitcoin maybe they will become their customer.

It's better for them to add bitcoin payment to their payment method because it is easy to transact also when the customer avail their products or services they have. Bitcoin now is good choice for every business and I think they realize how bitcoin is important now so they accept it so for those business who ignore bitcoin I hope they accept also soon bitcoin for their payment method.

I am not sure if I will agree with your explanation, I believe merchants would only accept bitcoin if bitcoin is not anymore this volatile, they are into business and they consider bitcoin as a mode of payment only, with this volatility, it's very risky for their business if they don't know how to handle the risk.

It is very good news for bitcoin and bitcoin users. Nowadays people like to buy anything on online platform  they faced the problem on payment method. We know that some of the frelencer market place allow bitcoin payments. If some international  market  place accepted  bitcoin  and bitcoin add their payment  hope huge of bitcoin user will be increasing as a result  bitcoin  price will be increasing and people can easily you use service from this merchants company. We know that there are a lot company  accepted bitcoin  so we hope that bitcoin will be the best payment  method  in the world

That's what I fear as well, at some point. Sometimes, this kind of huge amount usually leads to big dumps as well. But we cannot say what will happen in the future exactly. The best thing we could do is to prepare for the worst-case scenario so whatever happens, we can be prepared somehow and not be too frustrated.

But this adaption of huge companies is great news for all of us in this community. Hopefully, this will continue as time goes by so that other people will appreciate and use it too for their transactions.

Even online stores in my country accepts Bitcoin as form of payment. The application of bitcoin become more and more tangible in daily living. When people start to realize that there are a lot more use the Bitcoin can offer, more companies will start to adapt and use it. Knowing large companies and institution coming in, there will be more company and institutions that are expected to use it. Time will come that all people will be aware of the use of bitcoin and the potential that is in-store in it.

They can use a payment processor such as BitPay, which will immediately convert Bitcoin to fiat currency. The merchants don't have to worry about the exchange rate, as they are getting payment in fiat currency, and not in Bitcoin. But for direct payments with Bitcoin, this risk is always there. And in case the transaction gets stuck for considerable amount of time, this situation can get very ugly.

[Asuspawer09]

Bitcoin is still in a process and continues to grow as time passes, there are so many companies that are getting interested in Bitcoin because everyone seeing the potential of this technology.

Because of the volatile market bitcoin is not a good choice in my opinion for spending so I guess that's why there are only a few stores that accept bitcoin.

It would obviously be a risk for a business accepting bitcoin unless it's a big company that is willing to invest in bitcoin at the same time.

[Om.monata]

We can hope that in the future there will be lots of merchants who can accept bitcoin for their transaction system. because this makes it easier to use bitcoin. so I think it's just waiting for the right time to get bitcoin to penetrate all merchants in the world

[MCobian]

What the Bitcoin community hopes is that many big merchants are starting to accept Bitcoin, so Bitcoin becomes more useful.
And it can act as a currency, I hope that with Paypal accepting Bitcoin, merchants who work with Paypal accept Bitcoin too.
If that could come true I'm sure a lot of people are starting to choose to do transactions with Bitcoin over fiat. Moreover, merchants
such as Amazon, Ebay, Rakuten, Aliexpress and Alibaba can accept Bitcoin, and surely there will be more and more  countries
that legalize Bitcoin.

The advancement of the businesses of these different establishments must really be complimented since they really took the necessary step to advance their business which is to study another versatile way to receive payments. Creating a scene like this is not easy but its surely an easy way to let other businesses follow them. It will surely be another way for people to think on how can they earn Cryptocurrency or even Bitcoin so that they can use it for payments.
