Bitcoin is the future!



This is exciting, i can't wait until it gets adopted in grocery stores

That is amazing, I cant believe the visual presence of bitcoin in such a big popular store.

RBF has got to be an issue, and long confirmation times while double spending has got to be a risk - most transactions today taking over 1 hour to confirm.

It's too slow, I wonder who's buying the bitcoins from the stores and if they are subsidizing the cost.

the real value is the exposure, the exchange rate may not be all that good, but the exposure in public like that is very valuable.

I hope the transaction limit does not have a negative impact on this exposure.

Exposure is super valuable, but retail has slim margins and these little inconveniences will irk the store managers. I wonder if the Japanese Gov't is looking to hoard BTC.

I believe there will be a time when all governments will be looking into hoarding btc

I also believe that Bitcoin is the future. It’s incredible, how fast and ably the transaction in this store was made! Everyone should make their life easier and I think that using Bitcoin will assure that.
