KFC Canada accepts bitcoin

[Ernestopapa]

I think this is a good news for the Bitcoin and Crytocurrency as a whole

[eucalyptus]

Good news. At least it is a good application in real life to show people we can use cryptocurrencies in real life. I saw it on the news today and I was happy. Good news are coming as well after south korea news. I hope we will go to moon soon again.

I was just browsing on social media and someone posted an image of KFC Canada's tweets. It's funny on how they market bitcoin chicken bucket.  



I like the sense of humor of the admin of their account.

Check their twitter account https://twitter.com/kfc_canada it's verified.

They are also live of facebook https://www.facebook.com/KFCCanada/videos/1758453490840478/

I mean it's ingenious in a way, I think that it's pretty cool that they're doing something like this even if it is something that you don't always know if they're being completely serious about it. It sure as hell keeps their social media operators busy though, and that's what matters when you consider what a majority of them have to do. It gets incredibly mind-numbingly boring if they don't get some variety and games in their life, and that exactly what this is.

Maybe I'll look more into the Bitcoin chicken bucket sometime, would it be a good investment? I don't know, but for 0.001 BTC that's not a bad deal regardless of whatever it may be.

It would be great for KFC to accept Bitcoin because s lot of people could buy food directly with their bitcoin wallet if they dont have any money in their pockets. But there will be complicated situation because KFC would have to create a special app so that people can pay their products on the app than receive a special code to show in the shop. They will have to deal with the volatility because the price changes from day to day so the profits can grow or fall.

It's totally cool and they are serious about it. That is published both on their facebook and twitter account so there's no need to be skeptic about it. Don't treat that bitcoin chicken bucket as your investment but take that as your treat for having those coins on hold and by enduring the bloody weeks that bitcoin is getting through it. As a reward to your survival skill, have some BTC BTCucket.

I wonder how you buy - with your phone and there is a guy that knows and waits for confirmations?

[onemoretime8520]

The advert is very creative and I liked it, maybe we should take this as a good sign from Kfc that in the future they would be ok to accept payments with btc.

[vicemi]

they should to it in all countries where kfc is.

[ajmapalo22]

If this will succeed surely other establishments will start adopting this market and will accept bitcoin as a mode of payment. There are also news about amazon and alibaba will look into the possibilities of adopting bitcoin in their market whereas buying online will now start accepting bitcoin as payment. I hope this will bring success and bitcoin become acceptable world wide

it would be cool if this would start a similar trend
mcdonalds maybe

Whoopie! KFC finally gets to business. It's just time for others to join. 
Do you also realize the fact that if you spend 0.001 for a chicken bucket, you'd have to spend double the amount due to transaction fee? 
But hey, chicken bucket > bitcoin transaction fee. Priorities first.

Hahaha I hope it would soon be implemented on all KFC Chains. I would love to get food using my coins 
Just thinking about the transaction fee, they should also support other coins that has lower average fee.

[Butchick]

It always amazes me whenever an establishment accepts bitcoin as payment for their goods and services. This privilege isn't available in my country yet but i am hoping that soon it will. Of course, fiat fees will be in play but i do hope it won't be that expensive. If establishments in my country accepts bitcoin as layment, it would be convenient and safe.  

[arrmia11]

That sounds cool and a good start up for bitcoin to be accepted by fastfood chains. Hoping that it would happen also in our country. If it continues, other establishmenst will adopt bitcoin also as one of the mode of payment. If that happens, life will be more easier and cooler.

LOL I wonder how some one will pay for one burger and pay fee in bitcoins. Fee will be like 100 burgers price lol.

Unless this is solved first, I don’t think that having bitcoin as a payment method in KFC would be the best option. Other than the fee being too high, the confirmation time of transactions take too long. Also, the price of BTC is constantly changing. What’s $5 now may not be $5 in a few minutes. Although this wiuld bring good popularity for bitcoin, I don’t think that it’s possible.

This is just for markenting, but it's good for bitcoin as well. But if they started to talk about bitcoin, it's possible that when LN goes live and spreads worldwide, KFC will be among the firsts who develop their system to accept fast bitcoin payments. Until then there's only the markenting, and it works, because we're talking about KFC for 3 pages now on a worldwide forum

Same thoughts, This is just for marketing promotion for KFC, of course we can't deny that its both beneficially for parties involved. KFC beats McDonalds as the first fast food chain to accepts bitcoin. We heard that McDonalds is looking at this options, but KFC is the first. While more and more people will discover what bitcoin is and may try to but those "finger looking good" chicken. LOL. But I think it will not have a significant effect on the price, maybe in the long run it will when Lightning Network comes into fruition. Let's see how it pans out on the fast food industry and if this is successful I'm sure that competitors will likely go on that direction as well.

If it is true seems a one world currency is working and everything is fall into places.
It could destroy the Fiat in the future.

[drwhobox]

It's a good idea that putting something on trend on what you are selling but, think of the Blockchain fees it's really high right now i think that altcoin would be an alternative with paying the food or using a wallet that is based on their country that can make instant transfer from the customer's wallet to theirs.

Of course, with such a growth and the introduction of crypto currency into everyday life, there are all the prerequisites that the Fiat will fall into the background. And Canada - well done, they contribute to this.
