RE: How long would it take for big banks to make cryptocurrencies mainstream? (My thoughts)

in #cryptocurrencies7 years ago

I heard that expedia.com is accepting BTC for payment, I haven't verified this, but if so, it's a step in the direction of mainstream, widespread acceptance. That could potentially make crypto values skyrocket! (Good for those who were already in the game)
Just my thoughts....

Sort:  

Yes you are right, Expedia collaborated with Coinbase to accept bitcoin payments.
Big names like Overstock.com, Dish Network and Newegg have also started accepting bitcoins, other than that, multiple shopify stores allow bitcoin payments.

So the reach of crypto currencies is surely on the rise.

Thanks for the info bdk1970 & ryuzakilost! Yeah, big names like this help for sure. Also, have you heard about the Kakao Corp + Bitrex team up?
"Kakao is the number one messaging app in South Korea with over 95% of smartphones having the app installed. The exchange will provide easy access for Kakao users."
