McDonalds to accept Bitcoin by 2018

[sukamasoto]

I do not want to use bitcoin to pay. Bitcoin's current value has not stabilized yet. I think Bitcoin still has a long way to go. I will save my bitcoin. I am optimistic about the future of bitcoin. The potential of bitcoin is huge.

When company start to interst bitcoin as payment method, we can't do nothing as the demand for bitcoin getting high from time to time.
If it's really happen, it will increase bitcoin value so it's a major profit for bitcoin holder although using bitcoin as transaction method ,quite risky !

This is either good news or bad news, Good news is that by doing this bitcoin gets more and more popular and with that popularity more people will be using bitcoin therefore we will see a huge increase in bitcoin's price. On the other hand if we use bitcoin as payment they need to formulate a certain transaction fees say for less than a dollar this is what you will be paying because if not then you will be paying more than what you can get less if you pay with cash.

This is great news! Although I will not run to buy burgers for bitcoins, but this is one more step forward for bitcoin. He is more and more penetrating into our ordinary life. It is wonderful!

I am sure they could add it in the very far future. However I am not going to buy with this news as it is likely not true, I will wait for coindesk to add the article before I believe anything.

Since when does Coindesk provides trustworthy information? I think in crypto one has to be really really really careful what sources he trusts, and for me coindesk is certainly none of them. But thats just my point of view.

As Trump would say... FAKE NEWS

[BeerPong.bg]

Great news, as it increasingly brings bitcoin closer to real, everyday life.

If true this is quite a radical step for big retailers and likely others will have to follow suit. However, I have a feeling like it is fake news you can't believe everything you read on the internet these days. Too many trolls and people making up fake stuff you gotta corroborate it to make sure it is true.

[Voice-Of-Reason]

too soon, at least for bitcoin, maybe Lightcoin or some other fast network coin

[Yakamoto]

Does that even make sense with the current transaction times and fees? You are going to pay more for the fees than for your meal. Unless the fees go down drastically, it makes no sense to use bitcoin as a daily payment method.

Maybe the hope is that the community will get the fees on such transactions down sometime soon? I'm not certain but there is no way that they would be earning anything from the Bitcoin community if the fees don't go down. They probably don't care right now and they just want to see if people are going to use such a service and if they will make money off of it; with funds going into a single (or a few) wallets hat don't have to be moving money around very often, there is a significant chance that the high fees as we see them have almost no impact on McDonald's operation costs for their financial portions.

No thank you! And that's not because I'm a food snob, but I'd rather keep my bitcoin and spend my fiat.  Fiat has exactly zero chance for growth, whereas bitcoin has the potential to be worth a lot more after the filet 'o fish is consumed.  And that's not even taking into account the network fees and confirmation times.  With a $10 bill I don't have to pay anything extra for that fish filet.  I'm all for wider adoption of bitcoin, but I definitely won't be using it at Micky D's.

Woah! It would be horrible to wait at Mcdonalds for getting confirmations on your transactions because until then you would not be allowed to have your food. Moreover buying a McVegie worth $3 and paying a transaction fees of $3 along with it certainly doesn't makes any sense to me. Also considering the lack of accountability involved in bitcoin this thought certainly becomes impossible. How are Mcdonalds going to show such an amount of revenue in their year-end sales tax returns?

This news should be total Hoax. Even if you said that Mcdonalds could accept Ethereum I could have believed it for a few seconds considering the swiftness of transactions but using BTC would be pure evil making a hungry person die for his food is never going to be a good idea.

Even though this is not confirmed yet as to the exact time they want to start accepting bitcoin, because reading the article make it seems like its just speculation. But someone like me will not spend my bitcoin on food or snacks when I can spend cash. I would only spend bitcoin when the option of spending cash might be more expensive.

In this case, a lot of businesses coming in are capitalist and ruled by greed not because of the live for bitcoin. They know that if they collect say .001Btc which is like $10 today for a particular meal, with the high probability that bitcoin will rise, before next week, it could have appreciated to say $11 or more just by holding. I as an individual will not give them that joy.

I think it is nonsence with the time of transactions and fees anyway who would buy a burger with currence which is so valued

Not saying it wont, because it could, but I don't think it would have a major success. McDonald's food is cheap, so the fees would be to expensive for anyone to want to pay a burger with bitcoins. Also let's not forget that the volatility of bitcoin doesn't make it as a good option to be used as a currency. It would probably work well in terms of marketing for Mac, and it would definitely increase the awareness about bitcoin, but I think BTC just wasn't made for that. Bitcoin is digital gold, so maybe in the future, when it's market cap increases, it gets less volatile, and it solves it's scalability problems, it might end up being used as a payment method, but right now it wouldn't work.

This is really a good news I am just worried about the transaction fees and also the block chain I can't afford buying a food with a transaction fee that is higher than the value I bought maybe if these establishment will also use coins.ph in my country which has no fees when doing transactions that could be better otherwise I don't think the market can gain success in the future

[vfrcbv911]

It seems to me that current transaction fees and the speed of confirmation of units in the network is a bad idea.

Why on earth would anybody pay hard earned “Satoshie’s” for something as insignificant as a cheap hamburger

Satoshi 83,849 = $9.00

So this is why this idea had already failed.

[Chrystora123]

I doubt if it will run smoothly when McDonald receive payment via Bitcoin,
Bitcoin price has not been stable, although it can be tried as payment,
it will be very harmful to one party...
