Even if it is just a franchise this is outstanding visibility for bitcoin. I'm sure lots of people who visit Burger King have never heard much about bitcoin and so to see it being accepted in a mainstream outlet is a good thing!
Eh, maybe to an outsider. In reality, though, people should understand how businesses work. I can pay a small sum of money to get a franchisee license for McDonald's. I can then tell people I accept BTC. That doesn't magically make McDonald's accept BTC -- it just means I do. In the case of this, Burger King doesn't care if the owner accepts BTC, Zimbabwe dollars, or rocks -- they only care that they are paid in fiat, in the proper amount, every month. They don't care where it comes from or how he got it.

This might be a great news but everyone should think about how many of you would spend their Bitcoin if a restaurant would starting to accept Bitcoin in your near. I probably think there will be very few people because the most are seeing Bitcoin as an investment object not as a payment option

I hope lots of stores here in my country would accept btc too, here in mine, only 1 or 2 uptown stores in the city's finance district accepts btc.

They don't care where it comes from or how he got it. Sure, but any franchise has prescribed guidelines on how to operate within their standards. I was part of a super market franchise a few years ago, and they even dictated where I could buy from and in what quantities. I got fed up with these strict guidelines, or let's rather call it rules and I sold the business. If the main franchise have some issues with Bitcoin, they will make sure you hear about that. You will jump through a lot of hoops to keep them happy, even paying more for stuff from their list of suppliers, when you can get the same product cheaper from another. It is just the way they work. ^hmmmmm^ The companies like Coinbase and Bitpay must approach them, not the franchisee.

Hopefully it is test for at least Netherlands. It for sure will be big step in mainstream direction if all Burger King will accept Bitcoin. Fingers Crossed!

places like fast food restaurants (burger king) are the best place to start spread the word about bitcoin because the is always all kinds of people who are eating there and it never will be restricted to a particular group of people like steam accepting bitcoin which is only gamers.

Well not really,cause there might be a variety of age's visit such places to eat or to spend some time and using bitcoins involves a lot more headache than cash. Wow just imagine what would happen if the whole franchise would accept bitcoin. The coin would get such a big boost. Financially and PR wise.
Hopefully it is test for at least Netherlands. I don't think so as it has already been spread around hundred other places there.Read the article.

Goods news! But apparently it is limited to only to one restaurant in Netherlands. This is individual decision of one BK in Arnhem, because this place is called bitcoin village or something. I wish instead it was a trial move decided by global management of the company to see if Bitcoin is suitable as payment method everywhere.

It will happen faster if you go and spread the word not only wait.. Everyone wait that Bitcoin will jump to mainstream "just like that". We all have to help in that. Big things are made up of small things.

Well that is really a good thing if people will be accepting bitcoin in such kind of fast food chains. This is really a very good news although this branch is really too far and somehow this maybe applicable soon for future companies. This is very helpful in many ways..

That is pretty cool if you ask me the fact that a big company is accepting it is really cool, I think more fast food restaurants will follow in that country for sure. I hope its just a matter of time before this is gonna happen globally.

You'll be disappointed, try Arnhem. I'm going to order some food at the place near me in the U.S. then when I go to pay with bitcoin I'll be all surprised and incensed at their refusal, and walk out.

Finally a big company is stepping in, The Netherlands is also really busy with the bitcoin as I can see on the media if I search for it. I think they are also far with the bitcoin, comparing with Brazil they are pretty busy with the bitcoin both.

Its really good that its accepting the bitcoin, I hope more burger kings in all kind of country's will follow, I think this is also a bit of a test if it works they will introduce it to other burger kings. Also the fact that the Netherlands is also a leading country's if you talk about the bitcoin stores they are having. I think they will be one of the first that are gonna accept the bitcoins for more things online and in real life.
