This title is misleading. Big retailers including Whole Foods and Caribou Coffee now accept Flexa payments, which uses Flexacoin. Flexa itself accepts Bitcoin, Ether, Bitcoin Cash, and Gemini(?). I was confused as to how retailers would be supporting Bitcoin with it's very slow confirmation times. As far as I know, I thought the bitcoin price rise was due to Tether initially, and now more hype from itself rising.
