KFC Canada Is Accepting Bitcoin for Fried Chicken

[J_CCreate]

Wow, this is great news! Things like this might be the future of currency all over the world and will totally change everything in regards to payment methods.

I really love to see bitcoin in action where some entities are accepting it as payment for their goods or services. Transaction may be fast and convenience is guaranteed on both ends but i just wonder how they will handle the payment if this entity will go offline.

I do like if more merchant accept bitcoin as payment. More people will be interest with bitcoin because big company accept bitcoin. So they interest to know bitcoin and maybe join then bitcoin community become stornger.
But i still confuse how people will pay fried chicken with bitcoin? How can they avoid slow transaction and make it fast?

good news .... !!!
I hope Indonesia can immediately legalize bitcoin

[jamesclark]

Time to move to Canada 
On a more serious note, that's great news! Hope America is a little more open with these things as well!

This is a kind of bitcoin domination slowly but surely in the market of food chain. No doubt with that it shows the expansion of bitcoin will come in the future in stores, transforming, and any other possible form of payment. I mean here, if the consumer doesn't have altcoin for the specific field of coins govern then bitcoin can be the last choice to pay. Ofcourse the value of bitcoin is not like for that area. It is like a major of transactions that anyone who doesn't have alts can use bitcoin to specific deal. This will be a good starting from one place and it will come to another place someday.

Its good initiative by KFC, Now even there small bucket of fried chicken will give more returns from last fiscal year


Fried chicken chain KFC Canada is accepting bitcoin – for a limited time and for a cryptocurrency-themed bucket of chicken, that is.

The limited-time marketing move sees the Canada-based chain advertising "The Bitcoin Bucket" complete with a Facebook-based live-tracker of the standing price for the product, which works out to roughly 20 Canadian dollars depending on the exchange rate with bitcoin.

That said, you can't exactly walk into a KFC location in Canada and pay with crypto at the cash register.

Instead, the company is accepting Bitcoin via BitPay as one of the options through an online check-out page. The Bitcoin Bucket will be delivered directly to the customer's address (the product also carries a $5 fee), according to the check-out process on its website.

That is some very good news. Can't wait to go to Canada but I don't have any crypto yet. With this system both the customer and the KFC will benefit from each other since the customer will have ease of access in ordering and the KFC will gain much profit.

Thats a great news that even fastfood chains love to take part with bitcoin. I love the idea that bitcoin is now well known all over the world maybe soon it will be established more in our country and many will use this.

This news was also posted in this forum a few months ago. and it is the same fast food chain and country, In my opinion we shouldn't be happy with this because the bitcoin's price always vary everyday. We don't know, our bitcoin that we use to buy a bucket of chicken could be worth more than a bucket of chicken. it could be more bucket of chicken tomorrow. So, buy items using crypto if the bitcoin's price is slightly stable. so there will be no regrets

great idea and great news, that even fastfood chains load to take a part with bitcoin,this is big opportunity to use a bitcoin

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Yeah blah blah blah, great news.   Have any of you guys actually used bitcoin to pay for a meal at KFC yet?  I am genuinely curious as to whether this is going to become a thing. 

I suspect it won't, as bitcoin is a plaything for speculators and will remain so as far as I can tell, and no one really wants to spend something that could be worth double tomorrow on some fried chicken that's going to end up in the sewer system within a day.  Half the time if you have diarrhea.   And while I'm in that same boat, I would definitely do it once if my local chicken shack took bitcoin.  Hells yes I would.

[JL421]

As you mentioned it is only available online that doesn't make any difference, currently there are thousands of option to spend bitcoin online even though it's kfc it doesn't make a difference.
Plus a 5$ fees seems unacceptable to me the reason is if we try to buy bitcoin from anywhere we always end up paying 5-10% fees maybe if they could offer a discount for making payment with bitcoin would be better

[UAE Seasider]

I have seen marketing messages like this over the past couple of months but to me, this is still thinking inside the box. I have had my crypto debit card now for almost 2 months it is backed by Mastercard and it comes from a US provider that is following all the proper regulations. I can spend any one of 14 cryptocurrencies with zero tx fees anywhere on the planet in millions of stores and for online shopping. I have bought a Pizza with XRP, a Samsung phone with ETH and drink in a nightclub with BTC.

I can also withdraw local currency from any ATM, seriously this is the future and its already here.

[dvillier]

If this news is real then that is the happiest moment for all of us that bitcoin is starting accepting as a payment that is the most strongest step for bitcoin. As that will increased trust of bitcoin in heart of people and people will start taking interest in bitcoin. We hope that soon bitcoin will get legalize throughout the whole world also.

[Nauticus Supervisor]

I am going to Canada then. 

[majest3]

That now becomes an expensive 5 wing pack when you factor in the BTC fee's. Spend $10 and then have another $5 in fees. Would be better if they accepted BCASH about 1 cent in fees.

[SaiWAFU]

Hope majority of fast food chains would also start accepting bitcoin as a payment, although there are several wallet apps that can be used to convert btc to fiat currency. Directly accepting bitcoin for transactions would be different.

[crimsongoth]

I am one of those people who think that it is very important for such big companies to respond to technology so quickly. These events is one of the useful steps for acceptance of crypto world  and the real use of cryptocurrencies.
