If you’ve managed to resist the urge to shop with bitcoins earlier, you may be looking for ways to spend them now that their worth has increased significantly. If that is the case, you’ll be happy to learn that you can now shop at many websites using this cryptocurrency. More and more companies are announcing their acceptance of bitcoin in the near future, and a great number of them have already made that step.
If you were wondering who accepts bitcoin, you might be surprised to learn that the largest digital currency is now accepted on many websites selling all kinds of products. Many businesses have seized this opportunity in hopes that it will help the company. But due to the fluctuating value of bitcoins, nothing is certain. Currently, bitcoin is worth around $12,000, but no one knows is the growth going to continue endlessly. You can even purchase a bucket of chicken at KFC or buy stylish pieces of furniture, home improvement items or jewelry and pay with bitcoins. There is even talk of McDonald’s possibly accepting bitcoin soon. If you were wondering does Amazon accept bitcoin, the answer is not yet, but this too may occur later in 2018.

The list includes only the major companies and services, but there are many smaller businesses that have already accepted bitcoins or are looking to do it in the near future.
