Kentucky Fried Chicken Canada Launches Bitcoin Bucket

Bitcoiners in the past few days have witnessed mainstream media spreading rumors about South Korea’s ban on cryptocurrency. This, as always, caused some panic selling. But hey, don’t be upset. Colonel Sanders is here to spread some fried chicken joy amid the crypto bloodbath. KFC Canada tweeted today they are accepting Bitcoin for the finger lickin’ chicken.

I just saw the thread title - it's a big bucket if it contains a bitcoin's worth of chicken :)
I think it's just a gimmick, but it's a sign that we are on the road to mainstream adoption. A lot of people who are talking about bitcoin now knew nothing about it a couple of months ago. 2018 could be a big year.

Later in 10 years someone will say that he bought some chicken stripes for 1000$ according to the rate of 2028  ;D

I use todays rates when bitching about all the things i bout my ex.

What a great peace of news:)  cryptocurrency is on its way to global success.  It is a tiny step forward,  but anyway,  it is  better than nothing :)

today companies use the bitcoin for markting
bitcoin has so much power now :)

How many confirmations does Kentucky Fried Chicken want?

Your chicken will have gone cold if they want six confirmations.

Mainstream adoption? I'm getting nervous. Historically this kind of gimmicks marks the beginning of the end.

Wow! each time a big company starts to accept bitcoin its a very very good news because the entire market is even growing!
Nice move by KFC Canada!

Yeah like this is obviously such a gimmick. But whatever gets crypto more popular, I guess?

Historically in what sense? When paper currency started being accepted? Or when more companies added telephones?

funny and that bitmain and others are moving large miners to winnipeg and quebec provinces  in canada because of price and temperature.  we might see not just marijuana becoming legal everywhere but btc and other alt coins too.

I think they must consider this issue, maybe you will use microwave heating. But there should be a better approach.

This in itself might be insignificant but the more companies get on the bandwagon the better, and KFC isn't a small fish by any means.

this is good news for the world of crypto and bitcoin, hopefully this can be followed by companies and other countries to legalize payments using bitcoin

we already watch mass adoption of crypto, isn't it?

good thing for us
but because of so much coin and token already list on coinmarketcap.com we should look for more information which one will give more profit
and also we do not want to miss train to the higher price  ;D

It means Kentucky see an opportunity of more profit with  accept payment bitcoin for selling chicken. Accept bitcoin as a payment it like an invest if the bitcoin rise Kentucky will get more profit in trading it. The news could say south korea ban cryptocurrency but in the next day it couldn't be happen because south Korea is 3nd largest users of cryptocurrency so don't worry guys it's just temporary problem for our coins so hold it don't be rush to sell your coin.

a new breakthrough. the more rapidly the technology then it will lead to things like great demand and simplify the community in terms of the transaction. good idea and good fast rapidly.

This is an addition to the so called amazing list. It always imoresses me and makes me happy whenever i hear that certain wstablishments accepts bitcoin as payment, this is one sign that bitcoin is truly gaining other people's trust and is beginning to be accepted by the general public. Though fees for this would be a bit high, probably, but it is a good start, i just hope that soon fees would start to decrease so numerous people would patrobize this kind of change.

Is this officially from the kfc company? or only the branch?
