There is about adopting Bitpay, not BTC.

Poland stronk! Seriously wasn't expecting something like this from Poland but lately Poland is surprising me every other day.
June 28, 2017, 06:11:10 PM
This is actually good news for both Poland and Bitcoin now the only thing missing is results in which we need to find out if the inclusion of Bitcoin is a good thing or a bad thing for the company. By including Bitcoin as a mode of payment I think the company accepted more responsibility for accepting another currency, a currency that is volatile now being a food delivery company they are in charge also paying the restaurant for the food the customer delivered, what if Bitcoin at the time of ordering becomes lower than expected? Maybe their technique may be using backup Fiat Currency instead and make Bitcoin as some kind of asset in the company.

It is a good thing to hear that new companies are accepting bitcoin,i am not aware of the company and its potential on how much customer could reach out with their proposal,either way it is a good thing for the bitcoin enthusiast like me to see a company accepting bitcoin as the mode of payment.

Let's put a link to that company:

Don't know if there are Polish people on this board, though.

This is some good news and for a company linked with so many food outlets, this will certainly contribute to bringing in new users to the crypto world of bitcoin which should also bring in more demand for bitcoin
June 28, 2017, 05:04:15 PM
Wow great. A few days back I read a news about an airlines in Japan planning to accept bitcoin then today itself read another news about a Russian company accepting bitcoin and now this one comes from Poland. Bitcoin reaching and getting acceptance everywhere in the world a huge boost for the bitcoin and it's believers.
June 28, 2017, 04:50:42 PM
I don't know if there's another thread for this already or someone did posted it already. I just can't do the digging for now. Anyway, anything or any news that comes up with adoption of bitcoin will always be a good news for the crypto market, mostly in the bitcoin society. Expect the price will go up very soon.
June 28, 2017, 04:28:31 PM
I must admit that this is really good news. I know that bitcoin has been growing, but to heard that more and more places are starting accepting bitcoin as payment is always good news. Hope this continues, i mean growth of bitcoin. Hope that more countries will follow this example and start using bitcoin. 
June 28, 2017, 04:24:28 PM
This is a very good news for us. Adopt other countries reported about the adoption of bitcoin.
And now another rich country will now use bitcoin and take note, it's going to be with the "largest" food delivery.
Demand will become higher again.
Wow that's great!

Since I'm Polish, I tried this service paying with Bitcoin. Pizza was delivered to me and I think Bitcoin ATM's will become wide in my country. But even of this, it's easy to buy bitcoins. We can top up our local exchange account on the post office and withdraw bitcoins from normal ATM.
Wow that's great!
June 28, 2017, 04:23:39 PM
Although the news is great , I wouldn't buy a pizza with the fees as they are, because it wouldn't be worth it. I love BTC, but i did a quick glance at their average prices and the conclusion is that you can order a pizza for $6 through that site and the fees will be close to $2, so why would I pay that much, 1/3 of the price of a product, just to use BTC?
My choice would be to buy food with fiat and use BTC for larger transactions. If I loved pizza that much and ate it like 3 days a week, that would cost me $24 in fees a month. That's 4 pizzas! Or I could have ~25 beers to was those pizzas down

Just posted in a thread saying that bitcoin is soon to be accepted at Burger King in Russia but this is even better.
Bullish!
June 28, 2017, 02:42:44 PM
I think it's not breaking news to some delivery net start to accept bitcoin. It would be breaking news if it would be the first among all this coffee shops and hotels and ect.
Anyway it's bitcoin's promotion and I think it will help to bitcoin's spreading over the world. I am inpatient to see something like that here in my place.

Do you have any links as to where you can buy Bitcoin in Poland? The only two BTC ATMs that I have seen on the 'Net are in Warsaw and Katowice:
https://coinatmradar.com/country/171/bitcoin-atm-poland/
If you can buy or sell BTC at the Post Office and/or regular ATMs, that is wonderful news! Very advanced too. "Polska jest najlepsza!"
Please do let us know more.

It is indeed bitpay.
It's obviously good that merchants are willing to accept bitcoin as a payment method, but really what they are receiving in the end is still fiat currency. I wonder when can merchatns actually start to accept bitcoin "as it is" at face value, that is when bitcoin is truly global and mass adopted

At least two things are required for that
First, we need price stability like that of major currencies (the US dollar, Euro, etc), and, second, we need fast (preferably, instantly fast) and cheap (preferably, dirt cheap) transactions. There might be other conditions like legal status, worldwide adoption, but these two seem to be first and foremost. Regarding Bitpay fees, do you have to pay any if you are using a Coinbase wallet? It seems that Coinbase and Bitpay are close buddies, so somehow you could expect that they won't charge any fees (at least, no network fees)
We will never have a stable price in bitcoin relation to the dollar, euro and other regular fiat currencies because simply to reach a stable price, you need to manually control the price, which will never happen due the decentralized nature of bitcoin.
So that is out of the picture. If anything, the prices could be pegged to USD, EUR or any other stable currency and adjusted in real time. With LN everything is possible, including the fast and cheap transactions.
it has nothing to do with decentralization and i don't understand how LN is related in this context.
the only reason why prices are still pretty volatile is that the market is still pretty small. the prices are still being determined on the exchanges and exchanges don't have enough resistances. when you compare the volumes with some other markets and the demand there you can see bitcoin is tiny.
Lightning Network makes perfect sense here
You may want to read my post above where I said about the two reasons why Bitcoin is not (widely) accepted by merchants. One of these reasons is incredibly slow confirmations and insanely high fees. LN is set to fix both of these issues. Further, it is not clear what you mean by market being still pretty small. If you refer to trading at exchanges (which seems to be the case), no matter how high the price might be, speculation won't mend matters. In fact, it will only exacerbate them since higher prices without real economy backing them can mean only higher volatility. As simple as it gets

This could be lead to every one and to think possitve to every people to learned and to know more about bitcoin this is greatest news for poland for those user of bitcoin currency this is like purse.io they are using bitpay for the payment method but if this going to be implemented all over the world let celabrate for bitcoins day.

From OP's link:
It's a Dutch owned company, their Dutch website http://thuisbezorgd.nl has been accepting Bitcoin for years. They process Bitcoin payments instantly (0 confirmations) to forward your order to the restaurant. I haven't tested it with a very low fee, that may be a risk for them if it never confirms.
If that happens, you might get a bill at your delivery address.
I've been using the Belgian version (pizza.be) for years using Bitcoin. If you add a fee that's too low, they will send the payment to the merchant once it's confirmed. Quote
In 2014, Pyszne.pl was acquired by Takeaway.com, one of the largest online food ordering websites in the world.

So the restaurant will only receive your order once it's confirmed.
A few days ago, I sent a transaction with a 0.0007 BTC fee and it took around half an hour for the restaurant to accept my order, the day after, I ordered again but added 0.001 BTC fee and it got accepted right away.
In this case, when the transaction confirms a bit slower, would they get the value from before or after it confirms?

This is great news for bitcoin. Any merchant accepting bitcoin is great news, let alone one of the industry leaders.
I am personally particularly fond about food merchants accepting bitcoin. I guess it's because the first real, publicly verified bitcoin transaction with real life goods was lazslo's famous 10000 bitcoin pizza.
As others said, obviously bitpay is a hassle to go through and it would have been better if they just accepted bitcoin directly, but you have to consider from their PoV that they need stability and returns for their shareholders. Holding bitcoin dircetly can mean losing/gaining value very unexpectedly.
Hopefully poland can legalize bitcoin following countries like Australia, so that more companies can accept BTC.
Having food merchants accepting bitcoin simply means the time where bitcoin can be used to our daily needs is getting near and havong Poland's largest food delivery accepting Bitcoin is another milestone. With 5000+ restaurant this sure will give demands to bitcoin and can be a good way to promote and spread news about bitcoins with their employees and automatically employees relatives.
