McDonald’s might start accepting Bitcoin soon

[galdur]

The constantly tanking BTC price is first and foremost due to anemic trading volume and microscopic buying interest. So, it has been a sitting duck for short sellers. But of course you see every excuse imaginable to avoid identifying this elementary market concept. The favorite among clueless experts around here has to be that BTC acceptance by major retailers and the publicity and interest it brings will lead to even more decline. It´s really amazing. Those morons have been broadcasting this poppycock for a year now while BTC has been cratering and there´s no letup.

I would imagine they'd roll them out in the stores that have a kiosk that allow you to order on a touch screen. That is just a matter of using BitPay and tweaking a few lines of code.

[Amph]

speading like this is good for sure, wi will see coca cola/kinder and other accpeting it soon i guess, they price should skyrocket in the end

They will find out quickly that the charge backs on that currency are insane.

Haha... a worthy conclusion to the reveal of the newly accepted currency. Was a long shot for it to be bitcoin anyway.

MCD stock has been going flat. They need to boost sales.

I never eat their crap but if I could pay with bitcoin who knows, might make an occasional visit.

Do you think bitcoin would have boosted their sales? And vice versa?

Since the stock has been going flat chances are excellent that they´ve been looking at ways to boost sales and accepting bitcoin is probably one of those ways. It´s not the only way. People who run big corporations are usually free of this terrible generalizations disease that is so prevalent in society.

If i were an MCD executive I´d be pushing something like this in meetings

Guys, this bitcoin community is full of all sorts of kooks and weirdos and health nuts and off the grid types. You know; most of which hate us and are convinced that our food will put them in an early grave. Well, they are quite a few and much more numerous than we think and if we accepted bitcoin this would  make a good chunk of them instant lovers of us and our support of their beloved bitcoin. And many of them would of course show their love by eating more of our food. At least we should put serious consideration into this. I can´t see how it could hurt. Thoughts ?

If MCD will accept it, we will all get fat.

No really, it would be a great step for BTC to become even more mainsteam.

[erikalui]

I don't think that this is possible as Mcdonals can easily accept real cash and bitcoin is like gambling almost where the price keeps fluctuating and it will be a loss for them if they do accept but will be a benefit for the people who want to use their bitcoins though.

good news, my loyal visitors mcdonald

Every big interprise is getting in, if Microsoft is in the rest will follow, they know its the perfect time to get big ass gains in the future.

[rikkie]

Lets hope this is true.
This should be very good news and very good for the price of BTC i think.
Every promotion should be welcome for the future.

Fat bitcoiners ? Not good.

That chart only shows a successful business to me. They need to step up their game and stop fucking around and accept Bitcoin just like everyone else needs to.

Sadly it is already close and it still didn't skyrocket the value, atleast 30% of world population (don't involve 3rd world countries) already have heard of bitcoin.
