Man, I hate Starbucks. Macons control it. I wouldn't spend my precious Bitcoins in some shitty Starbucks coffee. I don't even know how can anyone consider that filthy water coffee. Starbucks drink is everything but coffee, and even so it is a terribly awfull drink

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

It's just like Coke: even if it's unhealthy, the brand convinces you to try it out. But we have to put away the taste and everything else: because Starbucks is VERY popular worldwide, accepting Bitcoin as a payment method would be a pretty important step for us. I'd like to buy food and drinks anonymously, with a few taps only. If you won't spend your money on Starbucks you'll spend it on something else one day and you'll regret it maybe even more. What matters is the advertisement Starbucks would make. If there will be ads placed around mentioning that "Bitcoin is accepted here", more people will come from around the world. We need a bigger community.

could be good if they do it right, but i doubt exactly this. Also let's see how the situation in one year will be. If nobody uses it, then it is useless anyways.
Many bitcoin user will use it for sure because there are only few merchants that are accepting bitcoin payment. We should be happy that starbucks is accepting bitcoin now. Im really exited when starbucks is accepting here in our place
 I will surely try it.
I think most will try it out. See that it cost more and also wastes your precious Bitcoin, which you then have to buy new ones and pay a fee again. So i guess after 2-3 tries most people will go back to paying in fiat.

Even though , iPayYou doesn't look as good as other services such as Bitpay for example , they managed to make Starbucks accepting bitcoin in their official application and that's definitly an achievement for a new service like them.
In order to use this feature , you first have a wallet in iPayYou otherwise It's not going to work. The next year already sound very promising and I can't wait to see more .

Nice news It's the first time for what I know Starbucks could be payed with btc.
But why pay with btc a coffee? I prefer exchange some penny cash and buy some satoshi

I have noticed that Foldapp came back after shutting down a few months ago. If anyone is interested Its another method for buying Starbucks using bitcoin and by having a 5% discount as well.
I still think that using iPayYou with Starbucks is a better way regardless of the price to show that we actually support what they did for the community.

Is this for every branch of Starbucks international or just come countries that accepts it? I use this kind of service for I have always gift certificates for Starbucks. Hoping it would come in handy if I dont have cash to add up.

As mentioned Starbucks is truly expensive. Sometimes I've thought it might be only for the rich people, because a commonman won't wish to taste it paying such a heavy charge. Most grown countries have got starbucks shops compared to other nations. So its not a big deal for them to accept bitcoin into their business. It also helps other such big store to accept bitcoin.

Starbucks is probably expensive, but their coffee worth the bucks in my opinion.

Anyway it's not a something u should drink everyday, if you purchase it once a week, you will be probably fine with the money thing I guess.

Or just keep drinking your homemade coffee:)

The only good thing if Starbucks will accept Bitcoin is Bitcoin will be respected and trusted more yes, But if we are already a Bitcoin user what is the sense of going to Starbucks and pay Bitcoin when we can just pay flat money upfront. I used Bitcoin because i can transact wherever i am. But if Starbucks will implement deliveries then every morning i will avail from them using my Bitcoin.

Well, that's a good new for them who wants to spend their valuable bitcoin for silly things like coffees. Keep on spending guys so that we investors can see the bitcoin price is reaching new heights every single day.

It is indeed beneficial for the investors like me, because if people have more avenues to spend bitcoin, the circulation will increase and when the corporate houses will get hold of bitcoins, they will also start playing with it heavily which will increase its price for sure.

Its huge achievement. Gettin through corporate machine to actually them accepting new kind of payments its achievement only little less than creation of bitcoin Cheesy, joke aside, its just really great for bitcoin and for starbucks and for this small company.
I hope it will last, and they won't be backing from their decision anytime soon.

If this is implemented, another milestone for bitcoin industry. Accepting bitcoin in starbucks for sure many bitcoiners will surely love having coffee. No hassle to pay cash just bitcoin transfer to the teller is a big help already. Though its quite expensive but its quite interesting.

I'm really happy to hear this.  I think we need more big companies to accept bitcoin as a payment method so they set the trend and medium and small companies follow their example. But I agree that they should work much more on the design and site look. They should make it more modern and clean. In today's business world you need to adapt in order to survive!  Wink

Starbucks adopting bitcoin as a payment method may not seem a big thing for many people still it is a big thing considering how big of a name Starbucks in western countries. So for them, this is a huge step as well it encourages other big companies to start adopting  bitcoin payments, and this way before I know some big company names, bitcoin will get accepted by them in upcoming days hopefully lol.

This is a good news to all coffee drinkers who often go to this coffee shop, paying via bitcoin. I guess all coffee shop will do the same thing like what starbucks did to accept bitcoin as payment to their outlet.

If small coffee shops in the locality will adopt bitcoins then that is the biggest thing that can happen to bitcoin. Starbucks accepting bitcoin is a nice thing but it will not really bring a huge impact to bitcoins but if other coffee shops even the small ones then there will be a big difference. I hope small stores will also accept bitcoins then that will be the time that a one million dollar price will stick to bitcoins.

You have a point here but I think this is already a good move since it started from big and popular coffee chains. When we can pay bitcoin in our local cafeteria then bitcoin is already mainstream during that time. Smiley
