So yeah, hopefully McDonald, Dominos pizza, and many others will follow after this. I thought that this kind of decisions are taken by the creators of the franchise but It looks like It's not since It's starting on Russia.

Wow, that is huge news (for Russia)! Huge as in: if this type of organization recognizes the currency, adopts the currency and basically says: this is legit, then more people will know about it, use it and therefore the usage of BTC will grow and with that the value too. Very exciting.

Great news! Now some pizza services should accept BTC, then I'm satisfied
Too bad I don't live in Russia though..

Is it every Burger King in Russia or just a select few? If it's all of them then it could be really good.

Its good news if you ask me but the issue here is how is it going to work out considering the fact that its been reported about Russia's intention to create its own bitcoin which I see as a potential hostile environment for bitcoin which might include but not limited to merchants who accepts the currency. But lets hope the Russian government allows for fair play of both currency then we will see which one is more stronger and more popular.

Still it will take some time to all the programms to be written and tested succsessfully. It is really greart news, not only for Russia, but for all the World. Russia has just taken initiative to be the first country where cryptocurrencies are gaining value.

Never clinks on links here? I doubt you do.

According to article,  "a Moscow branch of the burger chain has started piloting Bitcoin payments, with officials now confirming a nationwide rollout" meaning after the implementation on Moscow Branch (the first Burger King Russian franchise), it will now be expanded nationwide.

Hope Burger King branches here in our country as we always take a break on Burger King during office hours.

That news make me happy to me and this is so important to for bitcoin users and it is so important for bitcoin becuase so it will bring so much new bitcoin users and this mean is bitcoin prise will be great for future so we are in true system .

This is actually crazy news. Burger King is a huge chain. If it works, expect other major chains to join in on the action and make Bitcoin mainstream!

[TryNinja]

Good to hear that big companies are starting to accept Bitcoin and see the cryptocurrency with good eyes.

The only problem: 5$ for the burger and another 5$ for the tx fees.
I'm actually curious to see how this is going to work with the Bitcoin network delay to confirm a transaction.

It seems that is the whole Burger King franchise on Russia.

You can see that the link is from cointelegraph. You don't really need to be scarred of clicking on it.
You could also search on google "Burger King to accept Bitcoin" and choose a website yourself to read the article.

People are prone to believe in all kinds of fantasies and fairy tales

The rumors of China creating its own China coin have been circulating for like 3 years already. So far no one has seen this coin for real. You can safely forget about Russia creating their own cryptocoin, a Bitcoin competitor (or Bitcoin killer, no less). They would rather outright ban Bitcoin than admit its advantages over the Russian ruble (whatever these advantages might be). Regarding fast food eateries, I remember a Metro restaurant had been accepting Bitcoin in Dolgoprudny (a Moscow suburb) circa 2014, though I don't know what's become of that

They actually are searching the payment processor, and at the moment they have it not.
So, the summer have 60 days more.
Seems this is a fake news.

The same is a fake news about "first payment in BTC" in Moscow Restaurant.
The news give no name, the picture is from Image Bank.

The reported URL in Russian contain no claims about "Adopting in Summer".
It claim about "adoption in 2017"

In full respect of substitutionally, the Russian Law will give the Regolamentation to all Electronuc Money.
The first of what ask the State is Tax and Person identification of User.
For this reason, the offshore CC or Cash are a best option for Russian Federation to remain Anonymous.

The news is really exciting and it proves that the the power and the usefulness of bitcoin can't be ignored. It sounds really good when you get to learn that almost every day a new part of the world is recognizing bitcoin and thus adding to the ever increasing popularity and supporters of bitcoin. Live long bitcoin.

Never expected this. Ha! Buy your bounty tips a burger. Awesome.

Russia was well against bitcoin mining...

It's like this news about McDonalds accepting BTC. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=941698.msg10657157#msg10657157
And this, which AFAIK was another hype similar magnitude: https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/walmart-mcdonalds-now-able-integrate-bitcoin-rewards-programs/

I can understand that people at cointelegraph are worried by the recent correction and want to speed up the recovery, but it's not the right way

[Gaaara]

This is a big step in adopting bitcoin in market not just in Russia because after the news spreads they other franchisers may consider accepting bitcoin as well. Now that they features a bitcoin as a payment more people might get interested in bitcoin as well so it just means more demand will come for bitcoin as they take the opportunity while its still growing. There would be no such thing in our country and I think it can never happen but in a counter part at least we can withdraw our bitcoin (with no extra fee/totally free) to buy some with our country's standard currency.

Good news are coming on this season. We have the same hope that Mcdonalds will accept it soon. Well hoping that branches of Burger King here will do the same implementation of bitcoin adoption.

Wow for real? They are making it everywhere for sure companies will soon adopt in different localities and other fast food chains as well.

It's strange that Burger King starts to accept bitcoins in Russia, but not in any Western countries.
And again, question, how many people will pay with bitcoins for the food. I'm not sure that they will find many people whoarr ready to pay $1-$2 transaction fee for burger which costs few dollars.

[Sex Video Chat VKcams.com]

$1-$2 transaction fee for burger which costs few dollars.

The bigger issue is confermation time.

Well thats the problem, but once the confirmations started I think its almost OK that it is approved or on the way. Or, an additional charge for fees but I hope it will not affect too much  the total price of an item. This is a good news and I am hoping more fastfood will follow suit. Mc Donads? Wendy's? KFC's? Hello

I hope there is a bitcoin terminal swipe card or scanner for easy transaction like in Visa or Mastercard.
