Its good initiative by KFC, Now even there small bucket of fried chicken will give more returns from last fiscal year


Fried chicken chain KFC Canada is accepting bitcoin – for a limited time and for a cryptocurrency-themed bucket of chicken, that is.

The limited-time marketing move sees the Canada-based chain advertising "The Bitcoin Bucket" complete with a Facebook-based live-tracker of the standing price for the product, which works out to roughly 20 Canadian dollars depending on the exchange rate with bitcoin.

That said, you can't exactly walk into a KFC location in Canada and pay with crypto at the cash register.

Instead, the company is accepting Bitcoin via BitPay as one of the options through an online check-out page. The Bitcoin Bucket will be delivered directly to the customer's address (the product also carries a $5 fee), according to the check-out process on its website.

I really love to see bitcoin in action where some entities are accepting it as payment for their goods or services. Transaction may be fast and convenience is guaranteed on both ends but i just wonder how they will handle the payment if this entity will go offline.

I hope more and more companies accept BTC as a means of payment. It will help solidify BTC and also increase if awareness. KFC's move is another welcome development.

What a nice marketing strategy. I think having an option to pay with Bitcoin even for a limited time is enough exposure for cryptocurrency. It will give people an idea that crypto currency do really exist not only for investment but could serve as fiat too when available.

I am really happy to see  this. KFC is a big company and if it embraces bitcoins then i feel like others will soon follow.

In addition to curiosity about bitcoin fried chicken barrels, I'm still more concerned with how to deal with Bitcoin and real currency rates because the value of bitcoin is subject to change, but I think that should not be a problem either.

It isn't a problem because customers are charged with the value in real-time, so you pay what the rate is at the moment you order. The price won't change a lot in 2 minutes...as long you don't take 3 hours to pay. And from the KFC point of view, it doesn't matter either because it get converted to fiat automatically.

Bitcoin Fried chicken bucket? Wow, that sounds interesting. If there's a chance, I'd like to go to Canada and experience the bucket. After all, we are all lovers of bitcoin. ;D

Thamks for letting us know atleast some bitcoin usecases comes up these days.
I hope in near future we will this in India aslo.

The adoption and integration of blockchain technology by fast food chains like KFC and McDonald’s will drastically increase the awareness of millennials in bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, which have evolved into a major asset class.

This is a very normal news and I am not particularly excited to see KFC Canada accepting bitcoin. Also they are not accepting bitcoin in practice. They are just using bitpay's payment gateway service which is very similar to visa or MasterCard payment gateway. While users will pay in bitcoin to bitpay and bitpay will transfer the dollar value to KFC. So practically KFC is not taking any business risk here. Because accepting bitcoin in a business of fast moving food retail chain is a huge challenge because of the price fluctuations, which KFC is not taking. So it is just a normal news and won't help bitcoin in any way. Just another very small adoption news without any impact.

This was a great news for us. That one of the most popular fastfood is now accepting Bitcoin. I hope this will influence all over the world merchants to accept bitcoin.

After KFC supports bitcoin, I think McDonald's will also support bitcoin, as these two businesses are mostly bitter rivals.

This is awesome for the movement! More companies, more people introduced to Bitcoin, more usage. It's a good start for now, in the future you'll have the giants like McDonalds and Subway join in. Fantastic to hear such things!

If KFC official post this on their shops people will gone crazy again because its the signs for the people to probe for a community whereas cashless society will occur its too convenient for us to not bring money and worry for nothing because nothing may be lost because all our assets is online and we can use it anywhere and anytime to provide our needs and wants at the same time.

So the title is
"KFC Canada Is Accepting Bitcoin for Fried Chicken"

But:
-it is not available in all stores
-is is just for limited time
-you can only order one special product
-they actually accept fiat not btc through bitpay
-it carries an extra 5$ fee
-you can only order it for delivery

Talking about advertesing

This will not happen, and even if it does, who will use bitcoin to buy fried chicken? The fees are to high, so it's not viable. The only reason KFC is doing this, is to try to boost their stock prices, although as the article pointed out it had no effect. Not saying this is bad, but KFC is not doing bitcoin a favor, and is just trying to use the hype around it. Even though most people are aware of bitcoin by now, positive news are always good, and I would like a bitcoin bucket but I don't live in Canada, so I cant buy one.

The biggest name in fried chicken has launched a crypto currency - themed “Bitcoin Bucket”. You can pay for it using the flagship of Bitcoins. As on one hand, the company is partnering with BitPay to accept bitcoin payments for the meal, but Luddites can still complete the purchase using fiat currency to avoid the rising transaction fees now associated with bitcoin payments. You can't exactly walk into a KFC location in Canada and pay with crypto at the cash register. Instead, the company is accepting Bitcoin via BitPay as one of the options through an online check-out page. The Bitcoin Bucket will be delivered directly to the customer's address (the product also carries a $5 fee), according to the check-out process on its website. Hence, KFC is not sharing the risk in the business of the price fluctuation in Bitcoin. Its been outsourced to BitPay. This is because accepting bitcoin in a business of fast moving food retail chain is a huge challenge because of the price fluctuations, which KFC is not sharing.

I encountered already a news that KFC is accepting bitcoin for Fried Chicken but I don't know yet what is that country. It is a great news that Canada will accept bitcoin for payment in fried chicken. I hope that in the simple accepting of bitcoin in fastfood chain will spread also in my country. I am waiting for the KFC in my country to accept bitcoin.

I really love to know that they are now accepting bitcoin as payment. It will be a good news and will help for bitcoin's popularity. It will be a new beginning for a big convenient transactions that are waiting to all bitcoin users.

That's a good news, it helps a lot Bitcoin to gain popularity and trust among new crypto people.

this is good news about bitcoin, where in real life bitcoin is now not only limited to exchange transactions, apprenticeship and digital currency investments only, but has been accepted as a legal means of payment to buy some goods and food in various shopping areas, not only in the market crypto, although apparently limited, KFC accepts payment with bitcoin for the fried chicken category, I think the future will open the gap for other companies as a new payment tool in various places of trade and services.

I think that this is nonsense and that it is not necessary. Bitcoin was created in order to conduct large transactions with a relatively small commission. For transfers of a small amount of money, bitcoin is poorly suited, since the commission is very large relative to the amount of the transaction.

Well, that's a great news. Can't imagine that we can have a bucket of chicken through bitcoin. That was just a news that they're sharing years ago and it amazes me that it is already implemented these days. I'm looking forward for a day wherein things that we all need would be payable with bitcoin.

    Wow...this is really a good news for the bitcoiners. Hope that someday more company and stores will accept bitcoins as payments. It  brings more popularity to bitcoin and it help us to be more secure in different places just carry our bitcoin than bringing cash in our wallet while shopping or eating in fastfood.

This seems to be the first sign that cryptocurrencies and blockchain will be the future of online payments. In the future, we will not need to carry a wallet or bank card anymore. Just a smartphone and payment application to pay for everything by cryptocurrencies.

KFC is trying to get involved or to get influenced by bitcoin. It must be a trial for them if they can accommodate more people through that way. This will be a great opportunity for them since many people use bitcoin nowadays. People tend to use it for buying foods such as this fast-food restaurant. Many companies will open their own soon once that the feedback of this is good and becoming popular. If they got a profit more than what they have in the normal serving, then it is good.

Using Bitpay is like using a Visa card :-\
Bitpay will accept Bitcoin and convert it to USD then will pay the company, I want to see KFC acceptin Bitcoin directly to their Bitcoin wallet without using a third party service.

In my country some of the local traders are accepting Bitcoin as a payment mode, But it is amazing to hear that a international Food joint is also accepting BTC. Hope to see many more international brands accepting Bitcoin as a payment mode.

We more of those improvements to grow stronger as a community. More and more businesses should continue accepting cryptos as payments.

It's so nice to hear some kind of news like that. KFC will support the bitcoin in Canada, That's mean it will help bitcoin to be more powerful using this new method of payment. I hope that bitcoin will be used in big industries in the whole world so then it will be more powerful and his value will increase each period.

I have heard that KFC accepts bitcoin payments for a long time and KFC Canada is also included in the list of acceptable bitcoins in payment. I think in the next few years you just need bitcoin wallets you can use and buy a lot of stuff around the world.

I hope they will rollout this project worldwide.It is very usefull and convenient where you can use bitcoin in their terminal.Hoping other international companies will follow also,this way it will create more demand for bitcoin and we will see the  bitcoin price will skyrocket again.

More good news please... lol too much FUD  already...

This is a good progress on the side of bitcoin simce this action indicated that bitcoin is slowly being accepted by businessmen as a form of payment in their establishment. Though ghere are online shops that do accept bitcoin as payment and a few restaurants in japan, but kfc belongs to the fast food chain and it reaches not just the bitcoin users but also the general public. With this, bitcoin is slowly being i troduced to those who have no idea what it really is.

that's a good news for a country that accepts payments with bitcoin in a restaurant. I think this should be imitated by some countries that have legalized bitcoin in order to use bitcoin to the maximum and make bitcoin as a useful use of the currency.

That's a pretty good signal but I'm thinking that with high paying costs like bitcoin if using paid it seems like a waste and unreasonable.

how do they apply it? how big is the bitcoin community in Kanada ? the big of the community in a country will greatly enable the bitcoin to be applied as a transaction tool. this is worth the example

This is a big opportunity on both Bitcoin and Fast Food Industry. If this will continue and other fast food chains will join also too. There will be a huge impact on the price of BTC, it could go roughly estimated $25,000 or up.

In the legal state of BTC, merchants use BTC as payment method, which is better for BTC propaganda!

This gives a lot of people who don't know BTC into new thinking, they try to understand BTC!

This is their attempt to start a digital currency!

Who will buy and item for a price of 10 USD and pay a fee of $ 15 as network fees. Until we have zero transaction fee there is no way bitcoins for groceries and supermarket transactions will be sustainable.

Wow, this is great news! Things like this might be the future of currency all over the world and will totally change everything in regards to payment methods.

I do like if more merchant accept bitcoin as payment. More people will be interest with bitcoin because big company accept bitcoin. So they interest to know bitcoin and maybe join then bitcoin community become stornger.
But i still confuse how people will pay fried chicken with bitcoin? How can they avoid slow transaction and make it fast?

good news .... !!!
I hope Indonesia can immediately legalize bitcoin

Time to move to Canada  ;D ;D
On a more serious note, that's great news! Hope America is a little more open with these things as well!

This is a kind of bitcoin domination slowly but surely in the market of food chain. No doubt with that it shows the expansion of bitcoin will come in the future in stores, transforming, and any other possible form of payment. I mean here, if the consumer doesn't have altcoin for the specific field of coins govern then bitcoin can be the last choice to pay. Ofcourse the value of bitcoin is not like for that area. It is like a major of transactions that anyone who doesn't have alts can use bitcoin to specific deal. This will be a good starting from one place and it will come to another place someday.

Ahh, no, how can they do that? Blasphemy. :D

Everybody knows that CHIKUN is the preferred currency for cheap and quick CHICKEN purchases

Chikun arize... ;)

just yesterday ate in the KFC =))) Well this is an additional advertisement. I wonder how this relates to the government?

wow this is good news,  It is really better we can used bitcoin as payments in more merchants and others.  It will add more value for bitcoin

That is some very good news. Can't wait to go to Canada but I don't have any crypto yet. With this system both the customer and the KFC will benefit from each other since the customer will have ease of access in ordering and the KFC will gain much profit.

Thats a great news that even fastfood chains love to take part with bitcoin. I love the idea that bitcoin is now well known all over the world maybe soon it will be established more in our country and many will use this.

This news was also posted in this forum a few months ago. and it is the same fast food chain and country, In my opinion we shouldn't be happy with this because the bitcoin's price always vary everyday. We don't know, our bitcoin that we use to buy a bucket of chicken could be worth more than a bucket of chicken. it could be more bucket of chicken tomorrow. So, buy items using crypto if the bitcoin's price is slightly stable. so there will be no regrets

great idea and great news, that even fastfood chains load to take a part with bitcoin,this is big opportunity to use a bitcoin

Yeah blah blah blah, great news.   Have any of you guys actually used bitcoin to pay for a meal at KFC yet?  I am genuinely curious as to whether this is going to become a thing. 

I suspect it won't, as bitcoin is a plaything for speculators and will remain so as far as I can tell, and no one really wants to spend something that could be worth double tomorrow on some fried chicken that's going to end up in the sewer system within a day.  Half the time if you have diarrhea.   And while I'm in that same boat, I would definitely do it once if my local chicken shack took bitcoin.  Hells yes I would.

As you mentioned it is only available online that doesn't make any difference, currently there are thousands of option to spend bitcoin online even though it's kfc it doesn't make a difference.
Plus a 5$ fees seems unacceptable to me the reason is if we try to buy bitcoin from anywhere we always end up paying 5-10% fees maybe if they could offer a discount for making payment with bitcoin would be better

I have seen marketing messages like this over the past couple of months but to me, this is still thinking inside the box. I have had my crypto debit card now for almost 2 months it is backed by Mastercard and it comes from a US provider that is following all the proper regulations. I can spend any one of 14 cryptocurrencies with zero tx fees anywhere on the planet in millions of stores and for online shopping. I have bought a Pizza with XRP, a Samsung phone with ETH and drink in a nightclub with BTC.

I can also withdraw local currency from any ATM, seriously this is the future and its already here.

If this news is real then that is the happiest moment for all of us that bitcoin is starting accepting as a payment that is the most strongest step for bitcoin. As that will increased trust of bitcoin in heart of people and people will start taking interest in bitcoin. We hope that soon bitcoin will get legalize throughout the whole world also.

I am going to Canada then.  :o :o :o :o

That now becomes an expensive 5 wing pack when you factor in the BTC fee's. Spend $10 and then have another $5 in fees. Would be better if they accepted BCASH about 1 cent in fees.

Hope majority of fast food chains would also start accepting bitcoin as a payment, although there are several wallet apps that can be used to convert btc to fiat currency. Directly accepting bitcoin for transactions would be different.

I am one of those people who think that it is very important for such big companies to respond to technology so quickly. These events is one of the useful steps for acceptance of crypto world  and the real use of cryptocurrencies.

What a great news , a great idea and also great thread , it's good to hear that our dear bitcoin is gaining more and more popularity which opens up a lot of opportunities , still doing a basic search regarding this news.

If this would happen in all country all kfc branch will accept bitcoin as a payment method this will be a time that the value of bitcoin will rise. But I don't think buying food in lieu of bitcoin is not a wise idea because we all know that bitcoin vaue is not stable and maybe in future the price of 1 bucket of chicken today in bitcoin vs the price of 5 bucket in future might be equal price in terms of bitcoin.

nice marketing, i really like it, bitcoin accepted for payment fried chicken at KFC Canada
Someday i hope my country can do that, like Canada. more easy using bitcoin as payment offline

KFC Canada is doing marketing for KFC and for Bitcoin.

I want to pay for KFC using bitcoin but I don't live in Canada. More places should do this.

KFC just got big in my eyes for doing this, I can not wait for more companies to accept bitcoin as a payment method. We want to get at that point with bitcoin

I think if this program is succeeded, then I am sure that many food companies will use bitcoin too like what KFC did and this will help bitcoin to be spread in many countries. besides that, I am sure that this news will make another company studied about bitcoin and if they can get the benefits from bitcoin for their company then they will apply and use bitcoin for their company and their user.

If true that is awesome, just for the media spread if nothing else. Not many people will actually buy kfc with BTC, but makes people more aware of it.

The move to Bitcoin might seem surprising from KFC, but the company has been looking for ways to flip buzzy tech into a viral hit recently—last year the company released a Bioshock-esque virtual reality game to train employees and a Faraday cage.

KFC Canada has been leaning into the cryptocurrency memes. “Another big rise in Bitcoin,” one tweet from Thursday read, “Hodl for the dip,” referencing a cryptocurrency in-joke. “If Satoshi reveals his true identity, his bucket is on us,” another tweet stated, referring to Bitcoin’s anonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto.

It’s an interesting time to be accepting Bitcoin as payment, mostly because Bitcoin can be really expensive to send (the average fee people are paying is just under $30), and because it’s so valuable, increasingly fewer people want to trade it for things like fried chicken. Nobody wants to be that guy who spent a ton of Bitcoin on two pizzas years ago, which would be worth millions of dollars today.

It's good news, we need to start to have many more real life cases where crypto is used in the real world. For it to become mainstream though it will still take a while for we need supportive and ripe technology (no problems with TX price and speed), aswell as a fairly stable value for crypto (no bussiness will go deep into accepting crypto for long if crypto price fluctuation is not stable).

It is indeed a very good initiative, as bitcoin is here to stay and it is going strong with each passing day. Many financial institutions and shopping malls have already started accepting bitcoin and the number is growing with each passing day.

This is clearly a good news, this means that the bitcoin has been more and more people know, but now use the bitcoin for payment is still not too realistic, The KFC should need to wait for a long time will only receive the bitcoinBTC.

This is good news for bitcoin, which is just a good start. In the future, more and more chain stores will accept bitcoin. In the future, all stores will accept bitcoin. KFC in Canada made a good start.

I really love hearing news about bitcoin the other company is starting to tie up with bitcoins. Good news to hear. The more comoany will partner bitcoin it means thay botcoin will be successful soonest.

It would be great and handy for someone because they can now eat and travel around the globe without bringing so much money for accommodation. But the thing that can be a problem is that the security of the method of payment for the service as well as the fast changes in the price of bitcoin. Many would still hold bitcoin due to the probability of it growing in a short span of time.

If I understand this correctly, this was just a trial run and not something permanent. I am very curious what the end result

of this experiment was. If you believe the Reddit comments, then this was a huge success, but I have no way to validate

these comments. Can someone in Canada approach them to find out if they are going to do this again and if it was a

successful experiment? {Most people are saying it was a publicity stunt?}  ::)

this step is the answer of progress, KFC I think very aware of the progress of crypto. these steps should be followed by other franchises. It may be McD, Starbucks or something similar.

Wow this is good. I hope the likes of McDonald's, Starbucks and etc would follow. I think this is only a test run only. Hope KFC would implement it.

Bitpay accepts BTC.  KFC uses Bitpay.  KFC probably get it converts into $ straight away and Bitpay keeps the BTC.

yesterday i heard kanada had received a coffee payment with bitcoin, and today KFC fried chicken. extraordinary.

very interesting, I think kanada will be the first country to make bitcoin as a means of transaction, then follow japan.

intense competition between japan and canada. your predictoin, Which countries adopt more bitcoin ?

this is a good headstart to commercialize bitcoin as a mode of payment a currency.
this is a great progress for bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
a great publicity indeed

This is how bitcoin nowadays are commonly use as payment in other fast food chain who are accepting payments by using bitcoin digital money currency. Like KFC Canada they accept bitcoin for payment in fried chicken.Through this success and convenience payment transaction we all hope that a lot of fast food chain and restaurants accepted also bitcoin for as  payment.
  

It was interesting idea that KFC Canada accepting bitcoin for the food. It was a good news for every people had bitcoin since it was an additonal benefit of having bitcoin. Hoping that in our country KFC will also accept bitcoin as mode of payment.

This is really a great news for people like us in the crypto world. I'm quite jealous of the canadians they got to try Crypto KFC before I did. Anyway I think this is a first step to pave the way to a future where crypto is the king of payment.

Well, why not, as the course will drop, then we will immediately run after the wings of delicious ostrenkimi in Kfsi

I think the idea is cool, but the performance is lame. Was the survey conducted on the target audience. Consumers of the wings of Colonel Saunders have bitcoins generally?

BUYING CHICKEN WITH BITCOIN? THIS IS THE FUTURE I WANT TO LIVE IN.

Too bad that the fee is too high and its not worth it at the moment.

I can not imagine what it would be like if we were starving and we had to wait for the conformation of the blockchain. then the food we ordered we can not enjoy yet. maybe this will be very inefficient.

This is a good idea though , I'm smiling cause the future of bitcoin is closer and closer , opening different opportunities just like this , now I wanted to visit canada and experience it though. And I know someday too apple and samsung technically cooperate with bitcoin , and sooner or later bitcoin will be an currency that will be use.

Now that is some good news we need to share to others. I can imagine myself buying chicken with bitcoin that is so cool. This is a good move for kfc adapting to changes and I think some other food chains or other local businesses will follow what kfc did. Hope we can see more businesses accepts bitcoun as well.

Wow that is definitely awesome. Now I can go to kfc, order myself some fried chicken and pay with bitcoin. That is the future there everybody. Slowly we are coming closer to seeing bitcoin go side by side with money as a mode of payment that is commonly used. Hope not only kfc but other businesses will follow and start going with the flow.

It was definitely cool, how are wish in my country KFC would accept bitcoin too because I'm a chicken lover and I used to eat in this restaurant. And it could be also a good indication to the world of bitcoin itself it making bitcoin known by a people who used to eat in KFC.

Surly? That is the happiest moment for all of us if this news is true then i according to my idea bitcoin will reach near to the time that countries will start legalization of bitcoin because if bitcoin is started to accept as a payment then countries will give favor to bitcoin because every country can choose rules and regulation according to the public of that country.

in the future, when bitcoin is approved in many countries, I am sure that we can buy something with bitcoin and not just for buying KFC. I am waiting for this moment because I can try to use my bitcoin to buy something in my real life or by delivery order. there will be another company that will try this too and I am sure that this will make easy for the customer to order their want and pay with bitcoin.

I don't think so but maybe because here in our country 7 eleven accepting already bitcoin  too

Good thing that there are businesses accepting btc as payments. Seems BTC is already getting its roots stronger on many businesses. But in this case the value of btc changes so quick. So the price maybe vary in every minute or seconds.

It is nice to know and to hear when bitcoin was being used in different aspect of businesses such as like this KFC, How I imagine if all fast food chain will accept bitcoin as payment, isn't its a good idea and good advantage for us if that happens.

Yeah, it was a one week trial end it has ended 5 weeks ago.
And if you went by the Reddit comments it depends from what sub. If crypto related, then of course it was a success, look at people here still praising it and not even having a clue what that was about.

You could easily drop them a message on FB
https://www.facebook.com/KFC-1557202627904490/
They were pretty active posting comments and replying in that period so they might answer you.

ps.
Damn fb has a habit of changing the page to your local kfc, so the link above might redirect you away from Kfc Canada.

It was a very good news that canada's kfc is now accepting bitcoins as a payment method, it only means that cryptocurrency is slowly being accepted to the community due to the increasing amount of investors in the market.

Very good news in KFC canada receive payment with bitcoin and I hope in my country in Indonesia also can not even vuman KFC but also with others

If you have the opportunity to travel to Canada. I will visit KFC to experience the payment by bitcoin.

its good to know that some fast food is starting to accept bitcoin i cant wait to try to pay using bitcoin in my country.

It's nice it is another sign that bitcoin is very useful.If kfc canada accept bitcoin as payment of method i think it is the time that all branches of kfc not only in canada but in whole world also accept bitcoin and not only in fried chincken but all their recipe.And it is also the time that the value of bitcoin rise.

It’s a good news. I heard that Mc Donald’s too accepts bitcoin on online orders. That would be gread if there will be more and more restaurants who will accept bitcoin because not everyone really has the cash to pay and most of the time they are paying using their visa credit cards.

It is a huge impact to bitcoin community and it is a good news for us. A sign of a bright future and I know that popularity of it will get the attention worldwide. Get some rest and bitcoin will go boom again.

Is this true? Well its a good news. I'm happy to see that restaurant/fast food chain like kfc accepts btc. I'm really excited to look forward that all stores accepts bitcoin and other cryptos as payment. How about grocery stores?

Nice marketing strategy from KFC, it is good to see such promotion for Bitcoin. If I live in Canada, I will surely support this. I hope other corporation will come out with such promotion.

Atlast found a good application of bitcoins in real world. I support it and i am going to buy a bucket definitely.

Cryptocurrency great development and it's community acceptance are really enticing to business owners to accept bitcoins as another system of currency. These thing is a good indication that cryptocurrency are now widely used and currently having potentiality of being considered as a new currency system in a years coming as it is started already.

This is a definite signal that I think will be good for Bitcoin as well as for cryptocurrencies. Large companies now see the potential of Bitcoin as well as the convenience of paying with this currency. According to my knowledge, Bitcoin is currently accepted for payment on Amazon, Steam Games. In the future, it is hoped Bitcoin will receive payment in all transactions and become a popular currency in the world.

Grocery stores are too local in most cases, unless it's a multinational operating in various parts of the world. In this case you're better off trying to ask the manager of a grocery store to accept Bitcoin yourself.

KFC was obviously looking for a new flow of world wide attention by accepting Bitcoin, which isn't something I can see become reality with grocery stores. I don't even think they have ever thought about Bitcoin.

If I look at my own local grocery store, they accept cash, bank card payment, and credit/debit cards. In all the years they haven't even bothered to add another payment option, which says enough to me.

The only payment development has been them allowing people to pay wirelessly, where nowadays most people pay instantly with their NFC enabled bank card or smartphone. They don't even need Bitcoin.

Wow, this is great because i really love fried chicken in KFC and i want to get a lot of KFC fried chicken and pay them all by bitcoin because i want to be one of the pioneer of using bitcoin as a mode of payment because this is no joke for cryptocurrency because they are really the future of the payment system that we have in fiat.

Nice, now i can buy KFC with my coins.  ;D
Are they accepting other cryptocurrencies too ?

Bitcoin will eventually be accepted by most of the establishments sooner than we think, with all that is happening in bitcoin we know that businessmen or business minded people will surely ride the tide of bitcoin in the future. Kfc's move is just the start of the beginning for bitcoin regarding acceptance, we enthusiasts should further look at better way to let lay people know what our bitcoin can do for them.

Wow greta initiative. I hope McDonalds too undertake the policy now to spread more awareness among people.

That is great. KFC is a big company, if it accept bitcoin as a payment,
then the others big companies may willing to accept bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies as a payment too.

What? Even a multinational company also fell into this death trap? They cant even think how much loss they are going to bear.

This is very interesting :) I want one of this buckets. Too bad I won't be in Canada in the near future.

Food costs the equivalent of 0.0006449 BTC.  What would the fees be?

Also why would you spend your BTC on chicken when it would buy you twice as much in 6 months time?

Kfc showed it clearly that bitcoins can not only be used as assets but can also be used as fiat currency as and when required. Put up a clap shower for the ini

I would like to see this happening also here in Europe. I can not wait to see more and more companies implementing bitcoin as a payment method

Their strategy is mind blowing. I admit it. BUt what about who doesnt use them or are against them? Is it enough for one company to deal with so misbelieves?

It seems that crypto currency are growing up and  continually know in other country by adopting bitcoin as mode of payment like in KFC. We all know that KFC is one of the famous fast food chain in the whole world so thats the good effect of bitcoin by other company to use it as mode of payment to pay instantly and to promote their product by the use of bitcoin or crypto. Thats really a great news for all the crypto users.

A very good news for bitcoin users. Hopefully this has been a good sign that this has taken place. Hopefully at all restaurants in the world they will accept bitcoin such as KFC,  McDonalds,  Jollibee and so on. Bitcoin is better when it comes to payment. You can be sure it's trustworthy. Hopefully the bitcoin will continue to spread throughout the world and until everyone knows it.

Wow this is really convenient for bitcoin cryptocurrency holders for atleast the cashless transactions are now being adopted by KFC and hopefully in many other companies.

wow thats nice and i hope that in her in my coutry will accept that to that is easy to pay its nice i hope someday that some of the food store will accept that

I hope more and more establishments like this will offer same payment options into their customers and will able to pay not only bitcoins but other altcoins if the lighting network will fully applied in bitcoin there is a big chance that more stores will offers bitcoin as payments.

Really?, it is good to hear that.

if kfc can accept payment using btc. it is very nice to hear it because kfc big company and spread all over the world. then I think it can be applied in all branches

Well, it's a great significance to the digital economy that KFC Canada is accepting bitcoin for friend chicken lovers because it can make easy for many customers to have a cashless procedure in paying bills. In this kind of servicing it can make  better to the crypto currency to developed and known world wide for efficient it brings to the public and establishments.
 

Well I am paying in Bitcoin so the the chicken better be finger licking good.

KFC is the most popular and iconic meal in my country. I suppose it also happens in my country.
It will be good benefits for both KFC owner and customers.

Well, it is a good news that KFC Canada is accepting bitcoin for fried chicken. I think it is the start of its booming popularity. It has advantages not only for the owners but also for the customers. I am hoping that other food chains also will be accepting btc in the near future.

This is really nice to see that KFC Canada is accepting bitcoin ...I hope more and more options come up with bitcoin....

It's great! The more it is implemented, the better for everyone, I think so. It is necessary to expand the horizons!

This is a good opportunity for those who like buy food using bitcoin. I hope soon in my country I could also but food for alts and bitcoin!

it's a very good step to introduce bitcoin to the world

The more we see adoption like this where bitcoin would be involved in normal and everyday transactions the better it is for bitcoin. People who were skeptical about it could look at things like this and go, well if I can use it to buy chicken from kfc, then it's good for other things I presume, bam, adoption.

Once the crypto currency has come the popular very many merged and began to earn on it.

This is very good. This is meant to be happen. This is good for everyone, at least someone accepting the future currency. Slowly all other coins will be accepted in the market.

I heard this news though and i read the article and i surf to around the internet about this. And quite okay though seems a good news. But the unstbility of the bitcoin how will it process? , is the volatility of bitcoin will have an effect on the kfc?.

Man, if they are still accepting BTC at those chains, I'd love to check them out next time I'm up in Canada.

this is a great news! it's always a great news when it regard bitcoin and cryptocurrencies adoption in general.
We all gotta should be happy guys!
go cryptossssss!

I like that good news,I am a big fan of fried chicken and I ate a lot in KFC hopefully all stores of KFC will allow soon bitcoin as payments so that I can use my bitcoins to buy  one of my favorite food.This is a good sign that bitcoin will grow more.

Though temporary, this promotion is good advertisement for, not only Bitcoin but the crypto market as a whole. Crypto payment in a fast food chain is only ideal for delivery though since the transaction does take some time as we all know. Just imagine paying at the counter! People will surely complain due to the wait.

that is very important for bitcoin that they accept it there is in kfc that is the good thing the usability of the crypto and the teaching of how the utility works that every time is going to have more and more chain stores that will accept it as a means of payment the era digital money and it is very safe to load it into a wallet maybe you see on a cell phone or different devices I love the fried chicken from that fast food chain now if it's going to make it easier to buy it

the acceptance of bitcoin as a means of payment is a remarkable outburst. however, I would rather use it as an investment tool. Is not Fiat still effective?

Guys it’s a matter of time we will see bitcoin being accepted by Amazon, ebay and Alibaba.com in the near future

Well, one of the best news that I've seen today. I cannot wait to see other companies as well as online stores to accept bitcoin as a form of their payments and see bitcoin in the lists of one of the best payments in the web.

Stores that accepts bitcoin is really increasing every now and then. This is the power of bitcoin's success in terms of acceptability. No matter what happens to the price of bitcoin it won't delay the increasing number of stores that accepts bitcoin.

This is very good news and I think this is very great initiative taken by Canada, Canada is supposed to be the one of the developed countries of the world and the introduction of Blockchain technology into their country will obviously boost up their development. There are few countries more who has legalised bitcoin in their nation and now experiencing high GDP . KFC is very popular in selling non veg and if they starts accepting bitcoin then obviously it will enhance the growth of bitcoin also.

is that true that KFC will accept bitcoin for their payment?is yes i think we can spend our bitcoin to buy bitcoin witout exchange it first into a money, so we can use our bitcoin 100% functionally if KFC receive the bitcoin payment system

I guess gradually we are moving into the global legalization of bitcoin. Recently it was about ebay publishing it out there to accept bitcoin in the future now KFC has made the bold step of also accepting bitcoins as a mode of payment. This is great news to the enitre crypto community to legalize the use of bitcoin as a mode of payment.

a good starting point for kfc in Canada that has received bitcoin for payment, it means bitcoin gets a positive response in the country, a pride also for bitcoin who has been a partner in one big restaurant but also very helpful to consumers and simplifies their transactions, and certainly safe and comfortable for both parties.

if it really happens we as the public are very happy to hear the news, but we only apply to one of their products that we can buy and pay with bitcoin, kfc companies accept bitcoin just because they want to increase their market share but if it is true and applies to all of our KFC products because the community also finds it helpful and simplified our transactions, and it would be nice if all kfc in all countries impose bitcoin as a means of payment of fried chicken in kfc.

Wow this is good that there are KFC accepts bitcoin and we should that there will more like this.

Accepting in bitcoin in KFC is one of the best way to make more funds and income. Using bitcoin in paying bills is like innovations because many people and companies start to adopt bitcoin and it is good for bitcoin and it will make more solidity in our industry. Furthermore, I think in the near future all companies will accept bitcoin as payment of their costumer.

What a great news! It's a matter of time when we pay for everything in btc all over the world. We are in an early phase of evolution. :P

This is really a good news to everyone and we can consider it as a successful project with this achievement we can now expect of a slowly recovering of cryptocurrency market.

that's good news bro, KFC Canada proves the progress of the times with cryptocurrency should be supported. That way other fast food shops will follow what KFC does.

If this would happen in all country all kfc branch will accept bitcoin as a payment method this will be a time that the value of bitcoin will rise. But I don't think buying food in lieu of bitcoin is not a wise idea because we all know that bitcoin vaue is not stable and maybe in future the price of 1 bucket of chicken today in bitcoin vs the price of 5 bucket in future might be equal price in terms of bitcoin.

well i think this is good news about bitcoin, where in real life bitcoin is now not only limited to exchange transactions, apprenticeship and digital currency investments only, but has been accepted as a legal means of payment to buy some goods and food in various shopping areas, not only in the market crypto, although apparently limited, KFC accepts payment with bitcoin for the fried chicken category and t's nice it is another sign that bitcoin is very useful

It is really a good move by KFC for promoting BItcoin. Many people eat at KFC and they do trust KFC. Therefore, the promotion of Bitcoin by KFC is a really good move in order to show people who has not adequate knowledge in Bitcoin might change its perspective about Bitcoin. This is also a good news on making Bitcoin as a payment system instead of making it as  a kind of investment.

I hope that this will also available to our country not just in one store only but for those who are popular stores too. Using bitcoin to pay transaction is very nice because we don't need to bring cash when we go outside, just our cellphone or any gadget that we can open our wallet is enough to use bitcoin as payment.

Accepting bitcoin in KFC is a good news to all people who have bitcoin. People who have bitcoin can easily pay their bills by using bitcoin and I think it is more quite convenient. In addition to that, I also hope that many companies and mall will accept bitcoin because it can help them to make and gain more income.

Well this is good news if KFC in Canada started receiving bitcoin as payment. I think this will have a good impact if it is emulated by KFC in other countries. Moreover, many other merchants other than KFC are starting to try bitcoin as its payment system. Hopefully many other companies and other countries will receive bitcoin, so the price and bitcoin value will be more stable and increasing.

I think this is interesting, KFC can be more advanced again. do not rule out other companies will follow this strategy. so BTC becomes more rapidly.

I think While users will pay bitcoin to bitpay and bitpay will transfer the dollar value to KFC. So practically KFC does not risk any business here. Because receiving bitcoin in the fast-food chain retail business is a big challenge because of price fluctuations, which KFC does not take. So that's just normal news and will not help bitcoin in any way. Only very small adoption news without any impact.
This is very normal news and I'm not too happy to see KFC Canada receiving bitcoin. Also they do not accept bitcoin in practice. They only use a bitpay gateway payment service that is very similar to a Visa or MasterCard payment gateway.

Until now I still love bitcoin. in its development bitcoin is very positive in thank people especially about its innovation system blockchainnya. it is no wonder many parties want to use and invest in bitcoin as a digital currency. KFC in this case is one of the few who use the innovation. with the news I expect that there will be a lot of parties coming in and interested in the concept of bitcoin
