Well, you can already purchase items on Amazon using bitcoin and third-party solutions like BitRefill and gift cards. Whole Foods is among a group of US retailers accepting bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. The payment option is being facilitated by a partnership between start-up Flexa and digital-currency exchange Gemini, owned by Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss. BitPay has also been working with the startup Coinbase to offer merchants an alternative way for paying in digital currency. Customers can pay with four cryptocurrencies - bitcoin, bitcoin cash, ethereum and gemini dollar. According to Tyler Winklevoss, merchants subjected to "expensive legacy systems of credit and debit cards stand to benefit significantly". Nordstrom and Lowe's are among other retailers using the system.
