Recently, KFC Canada has accepted Bitcoin payments for a short period of time. However, Bitcoin can only be used to place orders online, and only to purchase a new item called "Bitcoin Bucket". And all this special deal will be handled by Bitpay, a fairly common Bitcoin trading tool. Its really interesting news, I wish that I can also buy chicken with Bitcoin in my coutry.  |

Major (9 Billion USD) payment provider Stripe has just announced today they stop supporting Bitcoin payments - they conclude it because fewer and fewer are using it, and at the same time fees and transaction times makes it useless as a means of payment.

With it being a franchise model I suppose it will be mostly down to individual franchisees. I wouldn't get to excited about this. If it was a big e-commerce player then that would be news but this is no different to a corner shop accepting bitcoin.

This is nice. If a store as large as KFC will begin to accept bitcoin then it is a start. Im happy that huge business are starting to accept bitcoin. I hope Mcdonald's and Pizza chains will start to accept digital coins as payments too. This is faster way of making an order online. KFC is only accepting "bitcoin Chicken" i hope we can purchase more from their menu soon.

NO IT IS NOT! Who that is not completely out of his mind would buy anything when the fee is 25$? Of course you can pay a lower fee but then you have to wait 3 or more days before they can deliver the food. |

I think this is a step in a great direction for bitcoin, most especially having the KFC brand name behind it. Even though for now its via online payment. If it is a success, of which I think it would be, other major companies will join in. Last year, Business Insider report showed how difficult it is to spend bitcoin, even with online payments at a restaurant. The restaurant has now closed down. Link: https://twitter.com/businessinsider/status/923287320085766144?lang=en Hopefully KFC can successfully pull it off!!! |

However just to come to any local point of KFC food and pay bitcoins at the ticket office will not work you can only order a basket from a limited series at home. To make online payments KFC enlisted the support of the Bitpay operator and you can track the current price of the Bitcoin-Basket in btc using a special tracker on facebook. The bucket of chicken itself will cost about 20 Canadian dollars (plus taxes and $ 5 CAD for shipping).

plus a considerably high fee for a bitcoin transaction, or did they menage to get passed it somehow? An off-topic (but funny, so I will share) thought has occured to me: it seems that KFC will be needing to implement KYC now. |

I think, with such "progress" we can even give BTC to some random beggars and homeless people on their wallets in a couple years. Techo terror.  |

It sounds interesting, and I hope I can use BTC in KFC to buy Fried chicken. But there is still a serious problem, and when my deal is confirmed, maybe my Fried chicken is already cold, so it's not good enough. |

I think as the acceptance of Bitcoins keeps on increasing, we will only see the increase in price.

Seems like a pretty interesting thing to me, I like this idea but like how are they managing to do it with the fluctuating BTC prices?

This is a good news for this platform, Day by day Bitcoin is getting accepted in many renowned platforms so that the usefulness of Bitcoin is becoming high and high. But I don't to spend my Bitcoin for this purpose anymore. Bitcoin is a valuable tool for me, So that I would like to save Bitcoin for the future purpose.
