things that make me curious is whether they will use on a consistent basis, it looks like I'm not sure because the big companies have the money to make a better coins.

AFAIK Microsoft already using ETH for their project transaction

But for bitcoin , it's quite shock for me especially another big company such like Dell also accept bitcoin.
IMO , this will increase bitcoin influence around the world that affect bitcoin value increase gradually
I am not certain whether it will be a good thing for the price of bitcoin if every retail outlet starts accepting bitcoin as a mode of payment as you could see more people dumping the coins which would certainly affect the price .Either way it all depends upon the number of users in the end and it is good to see that most of the major players are accepting bitcoin as a mode of payment.

Um...you got a reference on MB accepting bitcoin?  Haven't heard that, but that's cool if it's true.

But honestly I don't care much who takes it, because bitcoin is a lousy, deflating currency which--because of deflation AND volatility--keeps people from spending it.  I don't think I'd buy a Benz with bitcoin even if I had enough.
Thats true for me also.As long as bitcoin prices keep rising and there is a facility available to convert btc to fiat,then I too do not care who accepts bitcoin and who doesn't.
I would think twice before sending large amount of bitcoin to anyone and would prefer first to change it to fiat.

For the moment , if you want to buy a car using BTC , you can use a site like https://www.bitpremier.com/
Although the price is quite higher than usual , someone may see an advantage in buying with BTC ,even if the price should go higher than this

This is mostly intended for die-hard Bitcoin enthusiasts

Other than that, it is not clear what advantages such a deal could potentially bring. With fiat you are dead sure that you will get what you pay for. And it is certainly not the case with bitcoins which can be easily stolen when you pay with them. If you have that many bitcoins, it will be less risky and a lot cheaper to gradually convert them to fiat at a reliable exchange and get done with that. Anyway, it would be interesting to learn how many people actually used the service which this company offers

A movement like a huge company's announcement about BTC payment would certainly raise the value of this coin, but it might also bring troubles to the company itself in relation with the Government,generally

That's why it is unlikely to happen any time soon

Its good to know that one of the biggest company in the whole world is now planning to accept bitcoin. If this will truly  happen it will be a good advantage for the bitcoin enthusiast to share bitcoin to anyone all around the world.

AFAIK this is a fake news: from the companies mentioned in the op only Dell and Microsoft (for selected products and only or US citizens) are actively accepting Bitcoin.

Apple, Mercedes-Benz or Tesla (or any other car manufacturer) are not accepting BTC. If they are - then please share official press note stating that fact.

Guys, get real - news about Apple accepting Bitcoin would make every press headline and will boost Bitcoin's price significantly.

Oh man, really Grin I haven't heard any newspaper talk about this or anyone has mentioned it before so if this is true, then I'm delighted since I will have more evidence to prove with my parents that bitcoin is totally a technical revolution and it's not a scam. I hope these companies will promote bitcoin, which will surely increase the value of it.
yeppp i think people around us always have a traditional thought ,
they think bitcoin is a scam thing just like any other online money maker ,
but as time goes by they will understand and accept the fact that how amazing bitcoin it is ,
a super large company like dell have adopted bitcoin and we can expect for other companies to follow , as op stated next target apple and microsoft.

companies will do what ever is in their financial interest, i think as more and more people start to use bitcoin and as the price rises we will see all the big names jump on board.

Biggest companies accepted Bitcoin already, now Bitcoin will spread, more small businesses will accept Bitcoin.

Who have bought already?


P.S
Also Dell and Tesla accepting Bitcoin:

You seem to have got it wrong

I read about Dell and Tesla allegedly accepting bitcoins as back as a few years ago, but it turned out that it was some obscure company which had been reselling their goods for bitcoins. It's small wonder that these manufacturers continued to accept only fiat, and the company which accepted bitcoins was actually converting them to fiat and thus had been earning on currency exchange operations. You could just as well convert your Bitcoin stash to fiat yourself and buy what you need directly

I didn't hear if the Mercedes-Benz accepting bitcoin and tesla is never making an announcement about they were officially accepting bitcoin for their payment. Especially for apple too.  Huh

Apple is impossible, Apple store has strict rules against virtual currency apps, so they are anti bitcoin, impossible to accept bitcoin. For Benz, never heard, which source? Dell and Microsoft were old news.

There is nothing impossible nowadays, actually  many people said before that bitcoin is impossible to be adopt by the company in different country. But look what happen now, there are lot of companies had already adopted the features concept of bitcoin. And one of this was Dell company, I do believe that in the long run I'm not wondered one day Apple, Microsoft, Mercedez will finalize accept bitcoin.

I read somewhere that Mercedes Benz bought Bitcoin Company
PayCash Europe SA. The primary aim of Mercedes purchasing a
cryptocurrency company does not seem to be their interest in
Bitcoin even though they have not implicitly denied it.

Bodo Uebber, Daimler Financial Services Board of Management member
reveals in a press release by the company.

"Mercedes Pay is a fundamental component of our mobility and digitization strategy. Daimler's new payment system underscores our ambition, as a leading provider of digital mobility services, to make the products and services we offer even more appealing."

Good news, when the world's great companies started using bitcoin then I'm sure the price will skyrocket bitcoin. the target year for $5.000 seems easily bypassed.

it is always good to hear about new businesses accepting bitcoin but Mercedes Benz accepting bitcoin is a small one in my opinion because it is not a day to day thing and most people don't want to spend that much bitcoin anyways.

and Dell has been accepting bitcoin for a very long time. it is not a new thing.
Every company that accept bitcoin payment is a good move for development, not everyone will spend their coins to buy a luxury car which cost Million of dollars using bitcoin, because they could charge more than the current market price in case of precause from fluctuate. Moreover, if the price increase after that, I may say it's a bad decisions to spend bitcoin (% charge)  more than the current price instead of convert bitcoin into fiat and buy the car. At least the rest of your coins will grow up again.

it would be better to attach a link to the announcement, so people will not be doubt on you.

if it is true, then it will be good because probably the other companies would follow them as you said. and it will make bitcoin be mainstream.
