Topic: Supermarket Accept Bitcoin - page 33. (Read 12897 times)

Unfortunately I don't have any super market near but in the whole country which accepts bitcoin as a payment. Nor do I know about any of them internationally which accepts bitcoin. There may be a possibility in Japan but honestly speaking it is just a guess and nothing more.
I think people would not like to pay bitcoin directly in any of the supermarket like places where they had to pay the extra charges in form of the transaction fee.

It would be nice if there are a number of malls or shopping centers such as store shops, supermarkets that want to receive Bitcoin as a means of payment,

I no longer need to bring cash as a means of payment, bring a gaget so I can shop anything I like. In my country there is no Supermarket that accepts payments through Bitcoin,

Hopefully this can be realized for the future in my country,
and if this is true of course this is a new breakthrough how to transact through Bitcoin

at this time there is no supermarket near me that accept payment method using bitcoin. but seeing the development of bitcoin is so good and has many people know and use bitcoin, I think it will happen quickly.

Sadly it is not going to be btc. If btc (or any coin) should dethrone cash/credit card, they need instant transaction / confirmation and zero fee, or at least so low a fee that you can buy a gum in a store, and not get killed by fee. 95% of all coins have no chance in that way. In fact the whole block chain technology is flawed for use with minor daily usage.

And while we are at it, all the focus on anonymity and security, f… that! Those that want to be anonymous and secure is going to find a way to do that, they are doing it right now, all the rest does not give a shit!
Credit cards, half the planet use credit card. All it takes is a photo of front and back with your smartphone in 8 sec and you can shop on the internet. Still you gladly hand the waiter your card at the restaurant or let the wife/husband/grown kid/ whatever burrow your card, - with code – because it’s just a “special fast” situation. You are your own security blacksmith; no amount of system is going to compensate for stupidity, and we do it, all the time, everyone. How hard is it to put a tiny little sticker over your security code on your credit card? Right there you have just increased your security by a factor 10!

And why is credit cards used by half the planet…… drum role……. fee! Or rather, the lack of it. Sure some cards have fee, while other don’t. But I can still buy a coke and not be killed by fees.

I'm afraid that it's too difficult to find out a supermarket that accept Bitcoin for payment cause Bitcoin is just legalized in few countries so if you want to find out one supermarket you should try in these countries. In my country there are no supermarket or shop accept Bitcoin for payment cause it's not legalized in here but I can easily exchange it into cash in just few minutes. But luckily I've found out 1 restaurant that accept Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency for payment in the city I'm living and I'll go to this restaurant if I have chance )

If there is a supermarket that is willing to accept bitcoin as a means of payment, of course this will be very enjoyable. I no longer need to bring cash as a means of payment of course just enough to bring gaget in my pants pocket I was able to shop anything I want. but until now in my country there are no supermarkets that rely on crypto technology as a means of payment, so hopefully it can be realized in the future and if this is true to be true of course this is a new breakthrough on how to transact anywhere and anytime. but the problem is how with elderly parents I think they will have trouble with this, I think this needs to be thought again to overcome it

But who knows, they are business they are into higher fees so even if you are a loyal customer to them and suggesting a good payment processor.  Do you think they will care for saving their customers for fees?


There's no such merchant in supermarkets, we call it merchandisers who are the ones that are putting their products in the supermarkets and I don't really think they'll know about bitcoin since they are in the retail business.

No. Super markets are high volume selling 'machines', and credit cards cost the merchant up to 3% in fees per transaction. Imagine to what number of fees in fiat this adds up after a full year. If merchants, no matter what industry they operate in, know that through a Bitcoin payment processor such as Bitpay they just pay 1% in fees, it would be an easy choice for them to go with Bitcoin.

That's indeed a problem, and in case they do know what Bitcoin is, they don't see anything in accepting Bitcoin due to the volatility. They however don't know that with a service such as BitPay, the merchant in question doesn't need to care about the volatility at all. It's the lacking understanding of what's possible that keeps them away.

I have never seen a number of malls or shopping malls like store stores, which accept payments using bitcoins, as they are more likely to receive payments using cash or credit cards, perhaps because bitcoin have not been so popular in my neighborhood, maybe one day there will be can accept payments using bitcoin, if the shop owner knows and understands bitcoin, so he provides payment using bitcoin at the store he owns

None, I don't know if how many supermarkets or if there is a supermarket that is willing to adopt bitcoin. And I doubt it because supermarkets here are big corporation and they do prefer credit cards and cash instead of accepting bitcoin because they don't literally know as of now what bitcoin is.

in my country only supermarket not support bitcoin or ATM or prepid cards

because the online shopping malls don't apply bitcoin for their payment and only accepting credit card so we can not use our bitcoin to shop. but soon after bitcoin is every where, we can use the bitcoin to pay for something that we could buy. the best thing that we can do is we are cash out the bitcoin to fiat and then we can use it to buy in supermarket around us and this is what i am doing now when i need something in my daily life.

Yes, but we don't have many online shopping malls in online in that many shopping malls are not sending the products accurately. People always need to spend their money in direct shopping malls only by spending through credit and debit card.

I think it is practically right, because as of now the business sectors are still hesitant to open most of the door to cryptocurrency as the government is even the one should recognized it first.

If the legality of bitcoin be sealed and support of the government and the people towards bitcoin is visually feel those businesses will have no other choice but to upgrade/update and making bitcoin as a payment in supermarkets and Malls (not mole).

(What's a moles though? Did you mean Malls?)

This is a future I dream of, a world where bitcoins can be spent almost everywhere and we don't need to convert to fiat any longer. That's really a dream land for me. I guess it won't happen yet in the near future, or maybe it would just be a dream. I do believe the conventional money will be replaced, though I am not sure if bitcoin will be its replacement.

Sadly there's none and I keep on waiting that I'll shop with my bitcoin at that moment. Talking to my parents, what do you want to buy at the supermarket because I've got some spare bitcoins that are ready to be sold. And you have to change that "Moles" you've got me there, I tried to understand that for 10 minutes as you are referring to the "malls".

I don't think at the moment that there is any supermarket accepting Bitcoin for payments.
Maybe with wider adoption of Bitcoin, we will get to see that in some couple of years to come.

Glad to hear that we have a supermarket that accepts bitcoin now as what you have said. I know that its not gonna be the cheapest because of bitcoin's volatility. At least you have try it and make small purchases because all we hear now is that bitcoin is not for micro payments.


As far as I know I'm aware of any supermarket near my place that accepts bitcoin. But I'm positive that in the next couple of years there will be at least one. Bitcoin has slowly gaining mass accepted, if big companies would just start it, I'm sure that other will follow as well. Though there are bumps that the retailer will face like confirmation time, fee's and training for their market attendant on the process of accepting bitcoin.

The local supermarket in my city accepts Bitcoin.
It's not the cheapest near my house but sometimes I come there to do small purchases.
It's amazing to see more shops accepting Bitcoins, looks like it's going somewhere!

Yes, you are correct to some extend as bitcoin transaction also takes some time and the owner has to trust us for confirmations of the transaction. If the transactions bounces back, the store manager will surely have some loss so it is better to use bitcoins for online transaction rather then using them in a supermarket.
