Just a month ago, giants like Starbucks, Nordstrom, Whole Foods, and AT&T announced that they accept cryptocurrency as a payment option.
With the popularity that cryptocurrency is growing there is no doubt that it will soon be among other payment methods. Especially for the international payments, with its ridiculously low fee and time taken for inter-border transfers it is surely the favorite among the traders.
Also, with giants accepting it as a payment option there is no other need to prove its authenticity.
Yes, many companies will accept bitcoin as payment methods because this giant or well- known company accept it so it means that the small company will follow their footsteps. There are some many opportunities that bitcoin can make and these payment methods are one of the best of bitcoin's capability.
Sadly starbuck in my area does not accept payment by crypto, maybe only in certain areas. Happy to hear that many giant merchants accept payments with bitcoin. it proves that bitcoin is appropriate to be used as a payment method. of course it will take a long time to see the use of crypto as easily as using fiat. because the regulation and adoption process is slow.
