Topic: KFC Canada accepts bitcoin (Read 429 times)
It's a very good news for the Canadians. This second diamond to the Bitcoin crown,as we already know Amazon start to accept the bitcoin.Many corporate start to accept bitcoin, because they come to know the value of bitcoin. If this continues, we can hope bitcoin will replace the the King of Currency (Dollars) and became a National currency soon.this will be very interesting, I hope for the future all KFC outlets all over the country are also willing to accept payment through BTC, this will be an innovation for bitcoin in the future.
Its understandable if they go with some of the altcoins but I seriously doubt how will they cover up the bitcoin transaction fee? 
Didn't surprised me at all because bitcoin have already achieved many big targets than this, but i appreciate how he presents with little bit humor.
The thing i love is that they don't know about the bitcoin or how it works but they are proudly presenting their "Bitcoin Bucket", this shows the bitcoin craze is spreading all over the world which is quite good positive sign.
BTW I would like to buy the bucket if they also start accepting bitcoin as payment, but it seems impossible because of the current network congestion.

I was just browsing on social media and someone posted an image of KFC Canada's tweets. It's funny on how they market bitcoin chicken bucket.

Hahaha I hope it would soon be implemented on all KFC Chains. I would love to get food using my coins
Just thinking about the transaction fee, they should also support other coins that has lower average fee.
I hope some time to come will also be developed payments using other coins
They should also accept other cryptos too because off high fee in bitcoins maybe LTC can be a good option for small usages because the fee is very very low and transactions will be faster.
This is awesome! I love KFC I wish this is possible here in Philippines. I love their gravy or sauce. But I think this is not possible in our country because of the kind of government that we have. And the kind of people that we have in our country is very negative in terms of this kind of transactions. They always think that it is may not work or did not be possible just because they dont have any amount of bitcoin. But I wish that the day came that all are daily transactions will be accepted by bitcoin.
All the things that happen today are severely affected by government decisions in a country. If canada can do that then automatically their government is very supportive of the use of Bitcoin, this can be a positive news because it will help the development of Bitcoin. But in recent days I also see that some countries are seen to be banning the use of Bitcoin, so all of those things will definitely affect the price of Bitcoin globally. Hopefully the news is not true and we can see all aspects of support positively for the development of Bitcoin.Whenever bad news is about to come, a good one will definitely follow. Korean government publicly announce the crackdown of Bitcoin exchange in their country (I don't know if it was true), then this good one shows and that's what Bitcoin's supportive actions is and I like it. Hope more and more known establishments to fully accept Bitcoin payment in the future.

I'm also waiting for that moment where KFC management will implement this all over their branches around the world. Everyone is worried about the fee and even until the fee is high and KFC near me is already operating this way and starts accepting bitcoin for that bucket, I won't buy it. Let's wait for lightning network as it's been told that it will fix scaling problem and can also lessen the fees. Just thinking about the transaction fee, they should also support other coins that has lower average fee.
I checked this news a little more ever since yesterday I posted here, the owner of KFC Canada not only adopted bitcoin in his business but also he is a true believer in bitcoin. check out his tweets and see for yourself.
there was a funny one about altcoins where he said "buy the real recipe not the alternative-recipe".
I got my answer though. I found it a little strange that some business adopts bitcoin as payment while fees are high, it seems like he really believes in bitcoin.

Can't wait to pay 20$ fee to get a 5$ order!!!
i rather to pay a fiat for the bucket of chickens than bitcoin, bitcoin transaction fee is very high they should make a wallet site like coinbase or getting support from famous wallet sites so there will be no transaction fee when they purchasing a bucket of chicken. But this is good idea they are now accepting cryptocurrency soon all fastfood chains will accept cryptos as a payment.

I really don't know if that is true but if that happens,I think it is a good idea maybe for that country.It means that in the future we can use bitcoin already for transporting and buy anything we wants just like money.well,thats nice if thats happened.

wow, thanks for the information, this is a bitcoin and crypto world advancement, it will also be a factor that bitcoin always exists in the advancement of technological innovation and facilitates transactions.
It's really good news and information, so it's going to be an advancement in the crypto world, and it may only apply in certain countries, maybe KFC businesses will be able to generate more profits and become famous, hopefully this could be an initiative for others to can come to enliven their business.
This is a really good news for BTC users. I think this will expand over the world very quickly and paying by BTC or other cryptos will be usual.
Great news to crytocurrency users and investors, hope this is the mile stone for crypto world and everyone accepting fiat money would turn up to accept crypto soon seeing KFC's initiative. Thanks to KFC for a bold movement and expect this company would roll out this practive to all the restaurants they have throughout the world.
KFC Canada has made a great move by introducing the acceptance of bitcoins. Now most of their customers will prefer paying for orders with bitcoin cos its easier doing so. I hope more eatery joints will follow suit.
This is a very good news...not for the chicken

If it is true seems a one world currency is working and everything is fall into places.
It could destroy the Fiat in the future.
Of course, with such a growth and the introduction of crypto currency into everyday life, there are all the prerequisites that the Fiat will fall into the background. And Canada - well done, they contribute to this. It could destroy the Fiat in the future.
It's a good idea that putting something on trend on what you are selling but, think of the Blockchain fees it's really high right now i think that altcoin would be an alternative with paying the food or using a wallet that is based on their country that can make instant transfer from the customer's wallet to theirs.

LOL I wonder how some one will pay for one burger and pay fee in bitcoins. Fee will be like 100 burgers price lol.
Unless this is solved first, I don’t think that having bitcoin as a payment method in KFC would be the best option. Other than the fee being too high, the confirmation time of transactions take too long. Also, the price of BTC is constantly changing. What’s $5 now may not be $5 in a few minutes. Although this wiuld bring good popularity for bitcoin, I don’t think that it’s possible.
Same thoughts, This is just for marketing promotion for KFC, of course we can't deny that its both beneficially for parties involved. KFC beats McDonalds as the first fast food chain to accepts bitcoin. We heard that McDonalds is looking at this options, but KFC is the first. While more and more people will discover what bitcoin is and may try to but those "finger looking good" chicken. LOL. But I think it will not have a significant effect on the price, maybe in the long run it will when Lightning Network comes into fruition. Let's see how it pans out on the fast food industry and if this is successful I'm sure that competitors will likely go on that direction as well.

That sounds cool and a good start up for bitcoin to be accepted by fastfood chains. Hoping that it would happen also in our country. If it continues, other establishmenst will adopt bitcoin also as one of the mode of payment. If that happens, life will be more easier and cooler. 
It always amazes me whenever an establishment accepts bitcoin as payment for their goods and services. This privilege isn't available in my country yet but i am hoping that soon it will. Of course, fiat fees will be in play but i do hope it won't be that expensive. If establishments in my country accepts bitcoin as layment, it would be convenient and safe.

Whoopie! KFC finally gets to business. It's just time for others to join. 
Do you also realize the fact that if you spend 0.001 for a chicken bucket, you'd have to spend double the amount due to transaction fee?
But hey, chicken bucket > bitcoin transaction fee. Priorities first.
#fingerlickinggood. #foodforBTC

If this will succeed surely other establishments will start adopting this market and will accept bitcoin as a mode of payment. There are also news about amazon and alibaba will look into the possibilities of adopting bitcoin in their market whereas buying online will now start accepting bitcoin as payment. I hope this will bring success and bitcoin become acceptable world wide
it would be cool if this would start a similar trend
mcdonalds maybe

they should to it in all countries where kfc is.
The advert is very creative and I liked it, maybe we should take this as a good sign from Kfc that in the future they would be ok to accept payments with btc.
I wonder how you buy - with your phone and there is a guy that knows and waits for confirmations?
-snip-
I mean it's ingenious in a way, I think that it's pretty cool that they're doing something like this even if it is something that you don't always know if they're being completely serious about it. It sure as hell keeps their social media operators busy though, and that's what matters when you consider what a majority of them have to do. It gets incredibly mind-numbingly boring if they don't get some variety and games in their life, and that exactly what this is.Maybe I'll look more into the Bitcoin chicken bucket sometime, would it be a good investment? I don't know, but for 0.001 BTC that's not a bad deal regardless of whatever it may be.
It would be great for KFC to accept Bitcoin because s lot of people could buy food directly with their bitcoin wallet if they dont have any money in their pockets. But there will be complicated situation because KFC would have to create a special app so that people can pay their products on the app than receive a special code to show in the shop. They will have to deal with the volatility because the price changes from day to day so the profits can grow or fall.

Good news. At least it is a good application in real life to show people we can use cryptocurrencies in real life. I saw it on the news today and I was happy. Good news are coming as well after south korea news. I hope we will go to moon soon again.
I think this is a good news for the Bitcoin and Crytocurrency as a whole
LOL I wonder how some one will pay for one burger and pay fee in bitcoins. Fee will be like 100 burgers price lol.
In addition, that the commission will be as a hundred hamburgers, and wait for confirmation of the transaction will take several days. How can it be possible on such terms to pay for small-value purchases in bitcoin?However, it should be recognized that Canada is a very friendly country in relation to the crypto currency and especially the mining of bitcoin, providing its territory for foreign miners.
Great news, it seems that there's a lot more news about companies accepting Bitcoin payments.
On the other hand, some are also dropping it, I'm still sad that Steam decided to drop it. Hope they will enable it again once the scaling issues are solved.
Too bad it's just KFC Canada though...

Good move KFC came forward in tempting offers for bitcoin enthusiasts next is Mac Donalds and Pizza hut and Domino pizza should accept bitcoin
This will increase the user of bitcoin since many may want to try to buy using cryptocurrency. So there is a possibility that bitcoin price will rise with this.
But i dont think of it as effective at the same time, having big transaction fees will be the problem for this if the buyer is not using the same wallet of the shop.
But if they use the same wallet as what the shop is using then it will be free from transaction fees and will have instant transaction.
That was expected and everyone they knew about it because MacDonald is also trying to accept bitcoin last year there was some rich countries who accept bitcoin and some of them they were a plan to join this year so it’s a very great news that they accept bitcoin and I’m sure this year a lot of more food channels will accept bitcoin because bitcoin is now a need of every one and if someone want to bring changes in his finance so he must join bitcoin. But i dont think of it as effective at the same time, having big transaction fees will be the problem for this if the buyer is not using the same wallet of the shop.

KFC marketing department came up well. The ability to make good advertising on a topic that is popular with art.
They know how to take advantage of the current market. Even if people don't buy the bucket using Bitcoin, they still have gain a lot of attention, so I call it a smart move
I saw one café, that accept bitcoins. Prices was extremely high.
That's because of bitcoin volatility maybe, or they think of bitcoin holders as rich people.
Good news, anyway.

gaming industry is becoming an idol of investors because of the huge number of gaming industries that have managed to get ROI with a shorter time and its ecosystem is also easier to set up and a clear target market
Wow, it's the positive news for all of bitcoin holders and I think which country banned bitcoin they will realize now. If KFC will accept bitcoin I think bitcoin price will increased again. Already many persons are thinking bitcoin as a positively.
this will be very interesting, I hope for the future all kfc outlets all over the country are also willing to accept payment through btc, this will be an innovation for bitcoin in the future
I'm looking forward to that scene, which will let more people know bitcoin.
Accepting bitcoin is certainly good news, but the btc transfer fee is too expensive to pay for KFC, and I might be reluctant to eat an expensive burger.
This is an interesting move, companies like KFC if they start accepting BTC, the value will go higher
This is a very good news, and now bitcoin has gradually been accepted by all countries and used in daily life in various countries, which will be conducive to the promotion of bitcoin.
wow, good news I hope with this news Bitcoin prices could be better and added increased. we wait for the next good news
is this true? wow, very impressive, today i get more than 5 store information that receive payment with bitcoin. is this a sign that bitcoin in the future will be bright.? what about transaction costs?
well the adoption of bitcoin has been happening in a lot of places online or offline by a wide variety of merchants and services for a very long time. specially last year that bitcoin's popularity grow a lot and most of the FUDs about bitcoin went down the drain when Japan mass adopted bitcoin.
but sadly in the past couple of months it has become impossible to use bitcoin for any kind of payment and that has effectively put an stop to this adoption. I am surprised to see this here because of it. hopefully we can soon get back on track and start seeing some lower fees before the adoption stops completely or they drop it.

very good news, vote 5 star for KFC Canada. hope bitcoin will be accepted more in normal commercial daily
Wait for other past food chains that will follow what KFC has done. This is just the start of the bitcoin revolution and acceptance for our favorite meal and dish.After looking at their past tweets, it definitely looks like they're doing it for the publicity. It's pretty much like KFC Canada is using bitcoin shills that are being used by normies. Not saying it's bad though, any publicity is good publicity.
Yeah as long as it bitcoin will be publicize that will bring good publicity to bitcoin.Great news. And Microsoft accept bitcoin payments again.
Another positive news! Let's see if others will follow and move positively after announcing they are all good for bitcoin again.
Its such a good news for us especially in the canadians who can afford to use the bitcoin as a payment system in KFC.Atleast they used btc as a payment in foodchain,its good to hear that every establishments accepts it and they are open minded in cryptocurrency.
That would be great if it is true. because my older brother is currently living there. I am hoping this news is true. And I am hoping that fastfood chains here in the Philippines will do the same too. Lol

Wow it awesome! I wish KFC in my country would implement the same, and I will definitely go straight ahead and bough a bucket of those mouth watering fried chickens. I just wish that they will really sell it with a bucket label as posted in the twitter and facebook. But my question is…What if the transaction is delayed for about several minuets? Will they give the bucket to you right away or wait for the confirmations. Anyway, it excites me a lot. Thanks for the info.
Canada is one of some country whom legalize Bitcoin in their country. I'm not too surprised that Bitcoin will be accepted into any industry. KFC has a big name in the fast food industry, It is good news proof that people are getting to know bitcoin and this is the future.
Put lik on their tweet as their support to promotes bitcoin
https://twitter.com/kfc_canada/status/951550065411313664

Fried chicken chain KFC Canada is accepting bitcoin – for a limited time and for a cryptocurrency-themed bucket of chicken, that is.
The limited-time marketing move sees the Canada-based chain advertising “The Bitcoin Bucket” complete with a Facebook-based live-tracker of the standing price for the product, which works out to roughly 20 Canadian dollars depending on the exchange rate with bitcoin.
That said, you can’t exactly walk into a KFC location in Canada and pay with crypto at the cash register.
Instead, the company is accepting Bitcoin via BitPay as one of the options through an online check-out page. The Bitcoin Bucket will be delivered directly to the customer’s address the (the product also carries a $5 fee), according to the check-out process on its website.

Guess this was the reason. I thought they were already accepting it in stores everywhere in Canada. Like you can just bring your phone and pay with it, I guess it's still a far away dream. Though it is still a good progress for bitcoins and possibly this was the reason why bitcoin prices spiked a few days ago (not so sure though). If KFC sees this as something good, for sure they will keep this option and probably expand this all over the world if possible. Maybe our dream of a world where we can use bitcoins everywhere will become reality someday, but probably not this year as the governments everywhere has been quite hostile against bitcoin use.
wow! other branch will just follow..hopefully bitcoin will be accepted all around the world.
This has been a good initiation, maybe following its acceptance more such food chains starts accepting bitcoin. Looking the ongoing transaction fee issue, how this will function in an efficient manner is still a myth,because already several business platforms has started accepting bitcoin and at some point left because of transaction issues.
yes, some people complain about transaction cost issues. I think this will be a problem and inhibit the progress of bitcoin as a transactional tool in the future. Great news. And Microsoft accept bitcoin payments again.
Haha I love KFC, their attitude is so carefree. It will probably end up being a great publicity stunt for them too, although I don't know how they will manage their bitcoin exposure.

Instead, the company is accepting Bitcoin via BitPay as one of the options through an online check-out page. The Bitcoin Bucket will be delivered directly to the customer’s address the (the product also carries a $5 fee), according to the check-out process on its website.
It's funny because companies/organizations like Steam withdrew their bitcoin payment option, and then here comes KFC. Though I'm really not sure if they chose the right time to accept bitcoin payments though, not sure how that would work out; and I'm really not sure if people would be willing to pay BTC due to the current humongous fees. 🤔 If I we're them I'd honestly wait for LN first. Or they probably just want some publicity, idk.
EDIT: After looking at their past tweets, it definitely looks like they're doing it for the publicity. It's pretty much like KFC Canada is using bitcoin shills that are being used by normies. Not saying it's bad though, any publicity is good publicity.

LOL I wonder how some one will pay for one burger and pay fee in bitcoins. Fee will be like 100 burgers price lol.
Lightning network should help them with this problem. The company already launched its main net lightning network!
this will be very interesting, I hope for the future all kfc outlets all over the country are also willing to accept payment through btc, this will be an innovation for bitcoin in the future

This has been a good initiation, maybe following its acceptance more such food chains starts accepting bitcoin. Looking the ongoing transaction fee issue, how this will function in an efficient manner is still a myth,because already several business platforms has started accepting bitcoin and at some point left because of transaction issues.
It's a very good news for the Canadians. This second diamond to the Bitcoin crown,as we already know Amazon start to accept the bitcoin.Many corporate start to accept bitcoin, because they come to know the value of bitcoin. If this continues, we can hope bitcoin will replace the the King of Currency (Dollars) and became a National currency soon.
Someone got hacked pretty bad

I think this is just a trial for the first branch of KFC in Canada.LOL i would call that the fees bucket fun to compare a transaction fees with a chicken bucket, or with a whisky bottle.
But this is a great news. Is the first step, hope to see McDonalds or Pizza Hut accepting bitcoin soon. But it would be better to see some alts there, that way we can save nice money paying low fees.
+1 for KFC
That "fees" bucket though. I'm also waiting for McDonalds to do the same thing. fun to compare a transaction fees with a chicken bucket, or with a whisky bottle.But this is a great news.
