Starbucks is accepting crypto-currencies...well sort of anyway, let me elaborate. At the end of June, there will be a token sale for Zeex which is a platform for gift card suppliers to sell their cards for crypto and us crypto holders to finally get the chance to exchange our crypto for products and services without having to convert to fiat or pay fees. Using the Zeex App you will be able to buy gift cards from big name retailers such as Amazon, Xbox and yes, Starbucks in exchange for crypto with 3 taps of the app. We've heard many of these new Blockchain startups make lofty claims before but they are often short on delivery not so with Zeex. They already have partnerships with Zeek their Sister company that will provide them with access to over 350 big name brands. Recently they had another partnership with Russian gift card supplier Giftery and there are more in the pipeline. But what is really impressive is that they will have the app ready to use shortly after the end of the token sale. If you check out the video below you can actually see the app in action in a Starbucks coffee shop in New York..be prepared to be amazed!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXnBEor6440&t=1sIt is very cool! More than such projects! And then the world will quickly understand all the advantages of crypto currency. And there would be more such shops that are not afraid to accept the payment for a payment. |

Is this true, if yes this is interesting news to follow.
I would definitely support this project if this is true, starbucks is a great company that is famous all over the world.
If you watch the video you will see how it is done using the Zeex App https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXnBEor6440&t=1s |

The good news is that Starbucks, as a well-known restaurant industry, actually accepts cryptocurrencies. This is a good trend. More and more companies will be able to use cryptocurrencies for settlement in the future.

Probably, it is just one of the big companies in the world. but, now we know that many more companies trust cryptocurrency by involved in it. The crypto is very useful to ease the payment method. What's about the others? |

This a great move for Zeex if ever this will happen. Although gift cards can only be spent on a certain store, its still great to hear that someone is accepting bitcoin as payment. Hopefully, other another competitor will come up to consider it as a successful product. When this happens, more and more billers will join and accept bitcoin as payments. In the meantime, let us enjoy the Zeex app and be proud that we used our bitcoin to buy some coffee. Cheers to everyone.

Forgive me but I fail to see how this promotes the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies.
What Zeex does, if I understand it correctly, is help you convert your coins into a gift card,
which you can then use to buy coffee. It's more or less the same as converting your coins into fiat money
in order to buy coffee. If Starbucks really wanted to help promoting crypto, it could accept direct payments in crypto.
Earlier this years one of the Starbucks' CEOs said that he didn't believe in Bitcoin.
That's enough of a hint to me as to what their position is.
Very well said mate. It is not the bitcoin itself that are accepted because if it so then we don’t need to use gift card just to buy a cup of coffee or a frappes from starbucks. Same as paying bills, in my country we have this local wallet that we can use to pay bills but we still need to convert our bitcoins into cash before we can make a transactions. I guess its hard yet to adapt a currency that are volatile and that in the near future many establishments like shops, restaurants and etc that will accepts cryptocurrencies itself as payments. |

It is a good start for spending cryptos. But is it cheaper to buy the coffee by exchanging the crypto to a gift card?
Or just paying with fiat or credit card?
Also with cryptos, you need to wait that the transaction is confirmed and it can be very slow.

That's right. Just keep going to wait for the next official news about this. I'm sure that there will be many more industries that will accept cryptocurrency as one of their transaction payment. It is very happy to know this. |

I'm not sure I understand the problem that anyone would have with it?? For instance, I can sit in Starbucks while trading and use my profits to buy coffee and maybe order on Amazon at the same time in a matter of minutes..I'd say that this is pretty game changing even if you are using gift cards as an intermediary to do this. |

Eh, I don't know if this really counts as Starbucks accepting cryptocurrency, but it's a nice headline  I'm glad the Zeex project at least encourages people to use crypto more. |

Maybe this is the best news today. But I still do not understand why the price of the market fell low. a few days recently, there are a lot of good news for electronic money and I thought the price will rise, but I was wrong

it's really real and it's been proven to buy a cup of coffee with ETH it's to a very extraordinary masters but in my country there is nothing like it in starbucks
I do not think buy a cup of coffee with ETH. Because if we buy a cup of coffee we will have to transfer ETH to Starbucks' wallet. And at the expense of transferring money, I think we would lose a lot of money if we drink coffee every day |
