A big food delivery service is accepting Bitcoin in Germany

A big German food delivery service (Lieferando/Takeaway.com) is now accepting Bitcoin in Germany!
It's a huge thing for Germany, they do not have a lot of stores accepting Bitcoin.
Of course it's a little bit of a marketing thing for Lieferando, but who cares.

What do you think? Germany to accept Bitcoin step by step would be great!

Takeaway.Com in the UK  has accepted bitcoin for quite some time and it seems this is just Lieferando.de. Any merchant accepting bitcoin is always good news but I always fear many companies will just stop offering it as am option eventually because I can't imagine them getting much business in bitcoin.

Are they the first food company to accept Bitcoin in Germany, if they are the first one then this could help them to gain more sales and additional publicity for their company which is going to be huge, and with so many bitcoin holders in Germany this is additional sales and revenue for their company.

That's actually a great news, I have a close friend in Germany and I wanted him to invest in BTC when it was just around $400 per bitcoin, maybe this will make it easy for him to get in the crypto world now.

Takeaway.com already accept bitcoin for long time, they just accept bitcoin payment method for Germany. I also heard Burger King will accept bitcoin soon, but no idea whether it's true or not.

I thought Takeaway.com closed their business, in the UK anyway I am sure I received a mail ages ago about this, either way they were one of the first to offer bitcoin as a payment option.

You are correct with Burger King, they are doing this in one of their Russian franchises, hopefully it will spread beyond Russia.

I think you're a bit late on the news dude.    or is this a different food service/restaurant? I've seen a similar news recently. might be different.

Anyway, I'm not sure how spread-out bitcoin is in Germany, but any publicity is good publicity. It's always like, people see the sign "accepting bitcoin"(if they ever have one) and it will spark questions among the people, which is good.

Its possible but assuming they use a service to convert it then it won't cost them much if anything to keep offering it as an alternative.

True,  but I have actually seen at least one company stop offering it due to lack of interest (though I can't recall which one right now). Though I agree offering it isn't going to hurt and will always either get them some free publicity as well as pique people's interest in btc once they see that they accept it as payment.

I am surprised why Germany's firms was waiting so long? Japan, China, South Korea and Russia and others.
There are no doubts that this crypto-wave will take and other countries and other areas of shopping, not just fast food.

It's a good news that developed countries like Germany, England, USA etc are recognizing bitcoin and supporting it. Such news are not only a reason for great excitement but they do strengthen our belief in bitcoin. Thanks for sharing.

this year has really been great.

we, bitcoin users, who are inside the community and see everything may sometimes feel things aren't moving forward as they should. but if we look around us in the real world we can see there are a lot of things happening, despite all the drama and the debates and the fights inside the community over fees, block size, .... people are adopting bitcoin, merchants are adding bitcoin, governments are accepting bitcoin and removing taxes on it!

and all of this is why price is still rising and will continue to.

A good news for the crypto community. More business/companies/industries starting to accept bitcoins means more publicity of crypto currencies. In fact its going to help them publicize themselves too! They might see some hike in their orders for a while

Yeah, this year has been great for the bitcoin community. I  believe the bitcoin revolution is already coming up. Or has been here already. A lot are being knowledgeable now or trying to educate themselves with cryptocurrency and many merchants are now considering accepting btc as payments. Indeed, we are now in the digital world.

Couldn't have said it better. I see more and more businesses start accepting bitcoin; more governments planning a regulation of the currency; more people gaining interest and jumping on the boat.
segwit will be a crucial step to ensure the growth will continue at the current rate.

Of course it's a little bit of a marketing thing for Lieferando, but who cares.

of course it is also a marketing technique for anyone who starts accepting bitcoin. but the important thing is that when they accept bitcoin it is a win- win situation.
they get some more publicity and advertisement, some of it for free even. and bitcoin gets another new real world application and is one small step closer to the mass adoption.

Well, that's a great news for Germans, I guess. Being a Bitcoin enthusiastic, it's so frustrating that there's no one in my country (Pakistan) - at least to my knowledge - that has any idea about Bitcoin and they still treat fiat as if it's the only way to trade. Hopefully we'll also make progress in Bitcoin soon.

[zwiggel]

It is very good news,bitcoin will accept number shops in future.It is very easy to  do huge transactions,it takes less time also.

[ASHLIUSZ]

Food chains accepting bitcoin is increasing rapidly, few days back the burger king chained network has released the information that from summer bitcoin will be accepted as a payment. Possibly this will counts on with growing ventures all around the country.

I think it's another good news for us, Bitcoin users. Can I ask you something? Is the Food Price high enough to cover transactions fees or buyers need to pay an extra amount of Bitcoin to cover Bitcoin fees?

This is a good progression for the sustainable development of bitcoin. Bitcoin is gradually being accepted by more and widely used by many countries. I hope we will hear as much information as this about bitcoin.
