15,000 restaurants in France start accepting bitcoin payments through Just Eat!!

[lepbagong]

It is clear that this progress must be appreciated because it contributes to the convenience that may be related to existing facilities and bitcoin also helps to make it easy for bitcoin holders to enjoy these conveniences.

I hope this news will have a good impact and many will begin to follow because every facility must be supported for the common interest.

This is something that actually be encouraged and its a good one coming from a country like France but what surprises me more is that a lot of other countries that are not even as developed as France are just focused and dwelling on the bad nature or what unscrupulous individuals are doing with bitcoin and using that to determine their course of action against the technology. Its to encourage the aggregator service provider to expand its services to other countries of the world.

I believe the reason why it took JustEat a lot of time before they add Bitcoin payment to their services in France is because of the statement once said by the French Central Bank (Banque de France) that Bitcoin should not be considered as a means of payment but the pandemic seems to switch things in favor of cryptocurrency.

That didn't stop 5,000+ French tabacs selling Bitcoin though! Though I suppose selling Bitcoin and accepting it as payment are legally two different things...

Completely different thing and there understanding is that crypto will make their national currency obsolete and this is what once happened in China, which only want to benefit from crypto, don't support/recognized it as a legal tender before they frustrate bitcoin mining and exchange site etc.
It good the france government arenot blind by nonsense.

Although they do not hold BTC but liquidate through the Euro, this makes it easy for crypto holders to use bitcoins to buy.
Tourists will have the advantage of using Bitcoin instead of switching to payment services they don't own.
This is good news, maybe in the coming years, the whole of Europe will allow payments in Bitcoin.

 i just like the idea of creating a third party service and this are the one that is going to accept crypto payments if crypto payments are not available directly.

on our country , startups like that are also rising like a mushroom but i dont know if most of them are now accepting a crypto but its a good match knowing that they mainly operate online or by the use of applications .

Bitcoin began to be accepted as a means of payment in the Just Eat restaurant delivery network in France. Users of more than 15,000 Just Eat food delivery restaurants now have bitcoin as a new payment option in the franchise's mobile application, in addition to credit cards, PayPal, cash, among others.

On the website of Just Eat France, a subsidiary of the British-Dutch consortium JustEat Takeaway, the steps to follow when choosing to pay with bitcoin are specified. As a prerequisite, the user requires access to a bitcoin wallet on their mobile, Just Eat says in the instructions. "To make a payment in Bitcoin, you need to create a cryptocurrency digital wallet by downloading special software or an application."

In many countries, everyday applications use btc and eth as a means of payment, an example is in Central America that they are creating startups that are all in one, that is, combining services such as uber, uber eat, exchange and others and accepts payments in btc and eth

Wow!! what a good news for BTC lovers. France is a country of tourism and if anybody wants to make tour in Europe, starts from France. So if France starts accepting BTC that's really good news for tourist where easily payments will given by BTC. I think another countries in Europe will think now deeply for BTC acceptance so that their tourism will also enrich .

thanks.

Adding up btc into their payment options wouldnt enrich on tourism aspect but rather it would really be just a good addition or option for someone who do make use of crypto which they can really
make a direct payment with it without bringing any cash onto their pocket.

Im still doubt if they would purely be using up their coin.hence, they can acquire or avail services or buy stuffs on just using their own fiat money.Not to be negative on here but majority
already sees for crypto as an investment.

Well, this is a good new when it comes to adoption matter.

I've already come up with a slogan for them - Just Eat! Just pay with bitcoin.

You should contact them and tell them this slogan.  

hahaha, what a great slogan...
this is good news and also great progress for Bitcoin in the future. but one of the obstacles that will occur is the length of the verification process when making transactions.

It is indeed a very good news because more and more people start accepting the payment in btc the wide use of bitcoin will keep on rising. Also, tourist will be able o use the bitcoin and instead of buying the local currency or through credit card using it, better to pay with lower fees through bitcoin and no need to worry of carrying physical fiat.

Its quite hard to disagree with this point - its most certainly is good for bitcoin and its users.
However, I have to admit, the existing bitcoin payment system is so inconvenient, miles away from credit card payments.
We all are cheerish because its huge step for bitcoin, but from a regular person's perspective its still hardly usable - long road ahead, thats my point.

This is amazing, they are making bitcoin as "local" thing, this is a great step to make bitcoin more popular, but I just wonder how was the transaction delay or its verification and its fee? or is this JustEat restaurant is a big resto that offers pricey to not feel the fee on paying its bill? 

And how about the value of bitcoin, does not affect the business at all?

At first when I read the title I was amazed, what happened in this country that made 15K restaurants to accept bitcoin payments.
I have been in France for many times and I have walked so much in Paris, Lyon... Oh I miss France. Btw still amazing news, I have never used any food delivery here and don't know much about Just Eat (but I have often seen Domino's Pizza couriers in streets) but seems it's one of the most popular food delivery company in France.

Great job, usually, such things lead other companies to repeat the same. I hope Glovo, Bolt and other good startups that include food delivery and taxi services, will accept bitcoin payments along with cash and cards.

The principle of services such as Bitpay is that it converts BTC instantly, so the restaurants never get crypto, they get fiat (in this case, euros). The service also takes the risk of the transaction not confirming right away (maybe checking you have put enough fees, not sure about that).

I wish sooner in my country also it will start and after Covid is over we will have more importance being given to online payment rather than using the fiat. Though not may merchants currently being using at this point of time but slowly people are being aware of the benefits about it and some push form the government will help a lot of businesses to start using btc for payment. Whenever my plan comes up to visit France, will be making payment via btc.
