This must be just a marketing strategy and it's actually pretty good, by riding bitcoin's fame these days many companies are associating themselves with bitcoin or other crypto just like this one, i'm not sure if many availed such program but for me it would be a waste of bitcoin including the potential gain from it.

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

Agree with you this is impossible especially in my country this will be a sensitive conversation let alone a lot of bitcoin is prohibited by all parties who do not understand it. and hopefully can be understood by the government so that bitcoin can be used as a means of legal payment direstoran also other transactions  |

It's great that people are adopting it, especially someone as big as KFC, I don't think i'd use it to buy anything just yet though, I'd be scared the price would rocket and it'd be the pizza story all over again!

With the fluctuating price of bitcoin these days using them to purchase goods like this is quite impractical to do since bitcoin is more of an investment rather than a currency and I think those who uses their bitcoin to purchase a bucket of chicken will regret when time comes that bitcoin value will pump and appreciate again.

Oh yeah great. Does anybody try it? The network is still overloaded, how long does i have to wait for my chicken when i payed with btc? Are they waiting some hours for the confirmation? Dont spend your bitcoins for the unhealty food. Maybe today the coins are worth some dollar of chicken, but in a year with the coin you can probably buy a car.

Exactly, Because of fluctuating price of Bitcoin these days , I think that it is impossible to do. Maybe there are lot of negative aspects of this activity but we must be proud of your cryptocurrency because it is already used by some huge factories and industries and i know that someday, It will be a legal cryptocurrency in the world and many people will have the curiosity to learn about it. |

I did not see this can be Canada as mentioned but I dealt with myself to buy MacDonald in Moscow and I see that later all major restaurants will depend on Pitcuen

I'm really wondering how the value proposition of using btc to pay for everyday things is. Maybe there will be an upcoming crypto that will be used for everyday purchases. I would rather hold onto my btc lol

That is good news after a series of negative press about Bitcoin as well as cryptocurrencies over the past few years. However, I think in the future, KFC, as well as other places, will accept altcoins instead of Bitcoin because people now consider Bitcoin as an asset rather than a currency for trading.

LoL, you give BTC to the KFC staff, and have to wait 2h for the transaction to be completed haha. hope you have fun LoL
But I get what you are saying.  It is for online orders only and not in person at the drive thru window.  |

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.  Wish I could buy here too but what about transaction fees? Good one by bitpay assistance to help facilitate this. I believe with time and with proper adjustment on the blockchain; a faster transaction will be achieved for immediate payment of goods and services! |

More like the pizza event. But sadly the fee of making the transaction is way much higher than the price of the bucket, though fees are made on our choice, but paying less fees means we will be receiving our order after few days. Jokes aside, a good step taken by them. Might attract some crypto enthusiastic customers in Canada. |

Good news for the people in canada, store are starting to accept as a payment. Its good to buy now since we have small transaction fee as of the moment and fast confirmation. Hopefully some others offline establishment will follow to accept crypto currency not just bitcoin |

It is a big leap in bitcoin since KFC is well known around the world but i think they really need to fix the rough patches we all know that it takes almost an hour or 2 before a transaction completed and what about bitcoins volatility especially now bitcoin is fluctuating a lot i don't think they'll gonna accept btc if it's not stable enough although i hope this news is true cause if it is, it is a really big step from bitcoin.

I also hope in my country also receive payment with bitcoin. |

Hold it as an investment, or use it to buy fried chicken when cash money is more effective to use? Yes, we all know that transaction fees are still too high, and that's not quite as effective as micro-payments. Adapted payment with cryptocurrency is good, but still need improvement in order to be more effective. |

This is nice. If a store as large as KFC will begin to accept bitcoin then it is a start.
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. Yeah lmao, they need to start accepting alt coins too if they want to make it realistic otherwise they’ll be waiting ages for the money |
