It makes sense that a transition to accept bitcoin would be underway for more US-based stores.
I wish that i was in japan right now because they are very accepting the innovation and the change in the country they are accepting bitcoins almost everywhere that is very nice because here there are some that are accepting but not all but luckily here in our country banks are accepting it in exchange to cash. But for me it will took at least years 2 years from now and they have a lot of retailers that accept bitcoins as a payment.
