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.

It would be better for you to keep all your Bitcoin savings intact because there is really no need for them to be spent to buy coffee in Starbucks of all places. Just use cash. It is a better form of payment for your daily wants and needs.
I think he is just expressing his opinion about the matter of being able to use Bitcoin through his wallet to buy a coffee. He did not specifically say that he will be using his Bitcoins to pay his coffee, he is just planning because there is a possibility of using a Virtual Credit Card to buy anything. It is like using your Bitcoin but with more uses because Credit Cards are accepted almost anywhere.

That is your opinion sir. Yet, what is the point in this is that, bitcoin is imporoving in terms of its relaiability for purchasing stuffs. Also if bitcoin would be used in Starbucks, then bitcoin would be more popular which will also give benefit for its investors and users.

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 .

This is good news ,but i`m not a Starbucks "fan" and i will never be.

It`s good that some giants accept bitcoin as a payment method.

I think the most important thing about this news is the fact that starbucks sees bitcoin as legit!
Not as some currency traded amongst criminals.
Every major company makes a big deal about its reputation.
If starbucks accepts bitcoin, they think of it to be worthy being mentioned together with their company.
And that's a very fine thing!

  It's me!!!

Indeed it is something a good thing, but if we can't introduce bitcoin to everyone that there is a starbuck's or customers then everything will not provide any effects or growth will be stable because it is bitcoin customers have yet to figure out properly bitcoin. So if there really is a company that has indeed received a bitcoin (let alone large companies) then we should be able to help its growth with the more vigorous its growth in the future in order to introduce the bitcoin can be higher and we could enjoy huge advantages

you are right we don't really need to spend our bitcoins just for a coffee and it could be better to just keep our coin for savings but it's a pleasure for some people who really loves to drink coffee at Starbucks . there's nothing wrong if they want to spend their bitcoins because of some of their wants like Starbucks Coffee .

Yes I think it's a good news, hopefully they also show the bitcoin logo of the on outlets or receipt when we receive proof of payment, all of them also show step details the procedures for acceptance of the bitcoin.

any news that is about bitcoin usage for purchasing stuff with bitcoin instead of cash is a good news. but i don't think it is that big since from what i have read that application OP mentioned is implementing bitcoin, we don't have starbucks around here so i can not go and check it in person Cheesy

There are already few services that can give you starbucks gift card for bitcoins which absolutely the same, you get a debit card that can be used at StarBucks only and you can use it to buy things from their coffee shop.

If you need additional info feel free to PM me

The more people begin to use new technology, the more benefits it brings to all participants. This is called the "network effect" and this effect accelerates its development and recognition in society. With regard to cryptocurrency, we are now in the early stage. The advantages of cryptocurrency becomes apparent the faster, the more people begin to create wallets and more sellers are beginning to accept Bitcoin for payment.

It is different in different countries. Some countries started using Bitcoins faster than others. They are getting to know the value of it and promoting people who want to use it. And Network effect is definitely working as we can see a surge in the market rates. Hope it will get stabled and more people come into the Bitcoin society. Smiley

I think the title is misleading. Starbucks isnt accepting bitcoins. It is just that ipayyou is accepting bitcoins to give you starbucks GC or balance. It is completely different from Starbucks actually accepting BTC. All that has happend is that 3rd party is helping you exchange your BTC for Strbucks.

It shouldn't be making news until Starbucks decides to accept bitcoins directly.
Companies accepting bitcoins (quickly converted to fiat actually) through intermediaries are a dime a dozen.

That's good news, I like the fact that Bitcoin is spreading and that it is accepted in Starbucks, but there is no Starbucks in my town, I have not heard that there is one in the whole country. But again, that is great, I hope more and more stores come along and accept Bitcoins as a method of payment.

It would be better for you to keep all your Bitcoin savings intact because there is really no need for them to be spent to buy coffee in Starbucks of all places. Just use cash. It is a better form of payment for your daily wants and needs.
Right now it seems to be better to just hold our bitcoin and use cash instead thanks to the great profits afforded to us by the recent price increase but at the same time I don't see anything wrong with spending some bitcoin here and there specially with something like coffee.
