Oh wow, it actually is pretty old news, been out for 2-3 days, and I haven't noticed it. I don't usually follow forbes and mainstream news, mostly Cointelegraph and Coindesk and I didn't see them do a piece on it.

I think this is going to become what Libra wasn't able to achieve. They have the same partners (I am talking about the size of the companies) and this time the governments actually don't hate them.

Let's check back on them next year and see what more they've done, this is going to be a slow process for sure.

There was someone who started a thread 'forget the halving' and I think that article is where he got it from.  And hey, I'm pretty glad starbucks is doing this tho I won't be spending my precious bitcoin on coffee.  I very much like starbucks and spend far too much money there, but I'm comfortable with using fiat and I know those dollars I have in my wallet aren't going to hit an all time high in 2020.

Adoption is progress for bitcoin, tho.  I do hope the bitcoiners who like to spend their btc will take advantage of this.  If not, starbucks will probably kill the whole thing like microsoft and some other retailers did.

Bakkt, a New York Stock Exchange-owner backed bitcoin and cryptocurrency venture, announced this week it plans to launch a consumer app for cryptocurrency purchases in 2020.

U.S. coffee chain Starbucks will be its first launch partner, with the company one of the original backers of the crypto project, along with software giant Microsoft and Boston Consulting Group.
