It looks as if it will take the larger retailers a bit longer before they consider accepting Bitcoin. But brands such as Argos are certainly keeping their eye on things. "Argos aims to be at the forefront of new ways for customers to shop and we continually monitor the evolution of new payment mechanisms, such as digital wallets," said Argos' chief digital officer, Bertrand Bodson. "Bitcoin is a payment initiative that we continue to monitor as part of this evolution.
Interesting. It would be huge if Argos accepted them. I think we really need one big merchant behind Bitcoin in Britain to give it a push into the mainstream that it really needs. I was very surprised by Cex paying out in Bitcoins but disappointed they don't accept them. I hope they will in the near future and can't see why they wouldn't if they pay em out.
