I think this could be big Smiley If McDonalds does this, many others will think of doing it too!

As for me... Not a big fan of them. But it would be cool if I could buy some of their awesome icecreams with Bitcoin Grin

I think folks are totally misplaced on this one. It's going to be pay with a smile or some such thing. They have no idea and dont care what bitcoin is.

They already have Apple Pay

Pay with a smile? That's odd, lol.

They probably do know what Bitcoin is. And they didn't say no to Bitcoin when they were asked about it

I will definitely buy myself a huge load of hamburgers if this is the case  Cheesy

As much as I would like it to happen, I think it will not.

There are many rumors being spread regarding McDonald’s possibly accepting bitcoin soon. The reason speculation is so high is due to their announcement of accepting a new digital currency soon. They entertained a variety of questions through twitter, and the response was particularly interesting when asked if it was bitcoin. The tweet towards McDonald’s was as follows:

“So @McDonalds is going to start accepting a random type currency soon.. I wonder it its $btc #bitcoin”

The response given was:

“We don’t want to ruin the surprise! Hang in there, we promise it’s worth the wait!”

Meh. Don't want to be a Sir Buzzkillington but I cannot see them accepting bitcoin.

Why pay for crap food with bitcoin when you can pay for complete food with bitcoin?

That said, McDonalds accepting bitcoin (and advertising it) can only be a good thing…

Not everyone has such cards... And operating with BTC is different than having an "intermediate" card Smiley

This better not be a bait tactic like Paypal, it would be big news if it were true, don't ever jump to conclusions guys until you see a "We accept Bitcoin" symbol at McDonalds.

True, but just saying, even if they wouldn't go with Bitcoin, I could technically still spend Bitcoin at any McDo Smiley

One more insta-dumper to tank the markets and continue to make it illogical for everyone to spend at a loss.

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

How would merchants ignore Bitcoin adding Paypal, Microsoft, McDonald & Nasdaq?... 2015 should be the tipping point.

That's what I'm leaning towards. Some kind of promotion that for the day after the Superbowl all Big Macs will cost one smile (or similar one day free-type promotion to get lines out the door).

false bullshit news.

But look at the ironclad source:
"There are many rumors being spread regarding McDonald’s possibly accepting bitcoin soon."

That many rumors can't be wrong.
