I always add value to merchants accepting Bitcoin as payment solution, but it's mostly always through third party payment processors. It would be an amazing first step if they happen to at least accept a small portion of their Bitcoin sales directly. It is an option that is available within the portal of these third party payment processors. I think that's the moment when we will see merchant adoption actually affect the price in a positive manner.

I can't really see that become reality in the coming few years. We have to look at this whole situation from the merchant's side; If they happen to generate $10,000 in Bitcoin sales, and they keep everything in their own wallet, they will be extemely vulnerable to Bitcoin's volatile nature. If the price happens to go down with 15%, which isn't that unlikely to happen in a matter of just 48 or so hours, it would mean that the merchant in question lost $1500 in sales. Merchants need a constant flow of liquidity, and Bitcoin isn't exactly helping in that aspect.

Another good option for their customers as well. It is really just a matter of time before a lot of big online shops around the world will accept not only bitcoin but other worthy alt-coins.

Ok. I checked on this company that  engages in Internet retail of laptops, televisions, and mobile phones. It is a good moved, for this items has a good market specially around Europe and Russia where there customer is located. And the popularity of bitcoin in that region is growing as well so it really make sense for them to accept bitcoin as payment scheme.

"Sadílek suggested that other digital currencies like ethereum or litecoin could eventually be added as accepted forms of payment as well, which should be welcome news to altcoin supporters."
