This is indeed good news!

I imagine a world where commercials on TV will have bitcoin QR codes that you can simply scan with your phone (like using a remote) and purchase things on "TV discount" promo.

If anything, this shows the potential bitcoin and crypto can offer to the vast industries because it shows how you can get more "call to action" purchases via many media -- TV, internet ads, mobile videos, in-game ads.

Heck, even a poster near a subway/bus stop can have a crypto QR code that consumers can swipe with their smartphone!

It actually furthers the agenda America has of "wanting it now!" So people can simply swipe at the sky with their phones to pay for things they'll get that instant. No logging into PayPal, no credit cards, no visiting websites! Just swipe, and voila, the product is yours!

It's instant gratification on both sides. Companies get an irreversible payment, consumers (hopefully) get instant delivery or the promise of such of their purchase.
