Starbucks accepting bitcoin

[beerlover]

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 .

I think this is a great initiative from iPayYou to encourage people on using their wallet and even greater from Starbucks, and I think it is a huge step toward accepting bitcoin in the economy even more and encouraging not only people but also other big facieses to accept it as a payment method and I hope more places will start accepting it as well.

This is nice news, unfortunately we need to have a particular wallet in the service, so it seems to be some kind of third party payment system, but at least is something for those that cannot live without their morning coffee.

Even if it is an indirect use of Bitcoin, it's still good news. Bitcoin could be behind the scenes as a means of transferring money in many ways.

It's a good move to accept bitcoins but again it's not available in my country. Starbucks here charges such high prices for coffee and hence I prefer CCD or Barista where the coffee taste is the same. Also on BCT, many users are selling hacked cards of Starbucks which proves that most don't consider it a valuable deal to pay high prices of Starbucks.

i would rather make my own coffee rather than going to these outlets for coffee  . To be frank i never had a drink from any of these outlets in my 30 plus years of existance  and i am not sure how hacked cards work.If they started accepting bitcoins its a good move by the management .

This kind of bitcoin can lead for starbucks to attract more customers especially those bitocoin enthusiasts. This is one of the proof that bitcoin community is getting bigger and bigger and soon many stores will follow what startbucks did and that is accepting bitcoin which can help for the community to grow.

I guess in this case people don't really care whether it's indirect or direct use of bitcoin but they just care about how they could pay off a cup of coffee in Starbucks by using bitcoin and make their bitcoin have an additional function even a little. In other words, it's matter drink and when people drinking they don't give attention to the blockchain system

Starbucks has a huge customer base and is a respected brand. However in my opinion they are totally overpriced and the quality of their beverages is only average. Imho it's a ripoff. So on a very personal level I don't really care if they accept Bitcoin or not.

But for their Bitcoin acceptance being of any relevance to the Bitcoin ecosystem, they must accept Bitcoin directly, not via a 2nd or 3rd layer solution. Bitcoin was meant to do away with third parties exerting control over people's money and it has all power to achieve this. Therefore I want to see native Bitcoin acceptance before applauding.

ya.ya.yo!

Wow! great news! so starbucks everywhere around the world accept bitcoin? i often visit starbucks for a cup of coffee and if they do accept bitcoin it would be great, i can use my bitcoin. i really really hope that starbucks in my area would accept bitcoin.

We have bitcoin debit cards and bitcoin giftcards. So I dont see the big difference

So they aren't really accepting Bitcoin, they are just adding a Bitcoin payment processor to their payment options.

It's time merchants started to accept Bitcoin directly.

Yes they not direct accept bitcoin. But unfortunately, this is not true in all Starbucks outlets, after I read the post here and I came across starbucks outlets closest to my city, apparently do not accept bitcoin. In addition, to be able to accept bitcoin is impractical, so I think better use the money pay as usual.

I was asking the guy in starbucks today if they accept bitcoin and the guy look at me like I was speaking foreign language, lol. Apparently they never heard that starbucks will accept bitcoin.

I think only in few countries the Starbucks shops accepting bitcoin, and i heard that some coffee cafe is taking bitcoin's in the UK but still I am not sure this news is true or false. Until it comes to our country and we do any transaction till that it's fake news only. Without valid proof, i will not trust this type of story.

It's a new service that opened earlier this year so It's normal that you don't know much about them. I'm sure they are legit as the team members are known and their CEO was a former executive on Amazon.com .

Is it available in germany??

I suppose so . The  article didn't say much and only mentioned USD but since the mobile app is the same for all countries , It's likely that It's worldwide and the deposited BTC will be exchanged to the local currency with real time rates.

Thats great to hear starbucks accepting bitcoin as payment will surely gain high reputation to bitcoin because it iliminates slow transactions of payments on cafe's and as long as you have that option of bitcoin payment, that will surely increase market of the store. Hopefully future of online payment like bitcoin will educate people ti adopt for better life and became part of our daily spending.

Well, it's a good news that everybody in bitcoin development hoping. With more merchant which accept bitcoin as it's payment will make blockchain technology especially bitcoin as the currency get more trust to support peoples economic.
I hope there will be more store like Starbucks do this move.

[Laui135]

It is good news many companies accept bitcoins as payment method, starbucks doing smart strategy for increasing the costumers with adopt bitcoins on their coffe. 
Beverage company started adoption bitcoin and foods company will starts adoption it too, and finally many companies accept bitcoins on their business.

This is a good development for bitcoin users. You can now have a hot coffee from Starbucks by using bitcoin as currency. Hope 2017 other store start accepting bitcoin for payments.

This will not work and the service will either pivot into something else or close down at some point in the future. My question here is, why would I use Bitcoin to buy coffee at Starbucks when cash and my credit card works fine? I would like to keep all my Bitcoins because it is rising and it will not stop rising until it reaches a trillion $ value in market cap, thank you very much.

[nydiacaskey01]

In my country, a Bitcoin exchanger (coins.ph) recently launched their own virtual credit card, I plan to load my Starbucks card using that virtual credit card, if it works, then maybe I can say that Starbucks in my country accepts Bitcoin through a VCC but if its direct paying Starbucks using Bitcoin then we don't have it yet here.

[Dudeperfect]

It’s not like bitcoin needs the support of these big players, in fact, it would be beneficial for them too if they are adopting the new technology. When I observe the market, I see two types of merchants, those who are adopting change today and those who are not adopting change today. I believe the day after tomorrow will be a whole new lifestyle and if someone is not changing today, he still has a chance tomorrow, but if he still ignores the change, then things are going to be difficult for him even for survival.
