Its good initiative by KFC, Now even there small bucket of fried chicken will give more returns from last fiscal year

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 product also carries a $5 fee), according to the check-out process on its website.

That is some very good news. Can't wait to go to Canada but I don't have any crypto yet. With this system both the customer and the KFC will benefit from each other since the customer will have ease of access in ordering and the KFC will gain much profit.

This is a kind of bitcoin domination slowly but surely in the market of food chain. No doubt with that it shows the expansion of bitcoin will come in the future in stores, transforming, and any other possible form of payment. I mean here, if the consumer doesn't have altcoin for the specific field of coins govern then bitcoin can be the last choice to pay. Ofcourse the value of bitcoin is not like for that area. It is like a major of transactions that anyone who doesn't have alts can use bitcoin to specific deal. This will be a good starting from one place and it will come to another place someday.

I really love to see bitcoin in action where some entities are accepting it as payment for their goods or services. Transaction may be fast and convenience is guaranteed on both ends but i just wonder how they will handle the payment if this entity will go offline.

I do like if more merchant accept bitcoin as payment. More people will be interest with bitcoin because big company accept bitcoin. So they interest to know bitcoin and maybe join then bitcoin community become stornger.
But i still confuse how people will pay fried chicken with bitcoin? How can they avoid slow transaction and make it fast?

Who will buy and item for a price of 10 USD and pay a fee of $ 15 as network fees. Until we have zero transaction fee there is no way bitcoins for groceries and supermarket transactions will be sustainable.

In the legal state of BTC, merchants use BTC as payment method, which is better for BTC propaganda!

This gives a lot of people who don't know BTC into new thinking, they try to understand BTC!

This is their attempt to start a digital currency!

This is a big opportunity on both Bitcoin and Fast Food Industry. If this will continue and other fast food chains will join also too. There will be a huge impact on the price of BTC, it could go roughly estimated $25,000 or up.

That's a pretty good signal but I'm thinking that with high paying costs like bitcoin if using paid it seems like a waste and unreasonable.

that's a good news for a country that accepts payments with bitcoin in a restaurant. I think this should be imitated by some countries that have legalized bitcoin in order to use bitcoin to the maximum and make bitcoin as a useful use of the currency.

This is a good progress on the side of bitcoin simce this action indicated that bitcoin is slowly being accepted by businessmen as a form of payment in their establishment. Though ghere are online shops that do accept bitcoin as payment and a few restaurants in japan, but kfc belongs to the fast food chain and it reaches not just the bitcoin users but also the general public. With this, bitcoin is slowly being i troduced to those who have no idea what it really is.

In my country some of the local traders are accepting Bitcoin as a payment mode, But it is amazing to hear that a international Food joint is also accepting BTC. Hope to see many more international brands accepting Bitcoin as a payment mode.

I hope they will rollout this project worldwide.It is very usefull and convenient where you can use bitcoin in their terminal.Hoping other international companies will follow also,this way it will create more demand for bitcoin and we will see the bitcoin price will skyrocket again.

More good news please... lol too much FUD already...

KFC is trying to get involved or to get influenced by bitcoin. It must be a trial for them if they can accommodate more people through that way. This will be a great opportunity for them since many people use bitcoin nowadays. People tend to use it for buying foods such as this fast-food restaurant. Many companies will open their own soon once that the feedback of this is good and becoming popular. If they got a profit more than what they have in the normal serving, then it is good.

I have heard that KFC accepts bitcoin payments for a long time and KFC Canada is also included in the list of acceptable bitcoins in payment. I think in the next few years you just need bitcoin wallets you can use and buy a lot of stuff around the world.

It's so nice to hear some kind of news like that. KFC will support the bitcoin in Canada, That's mean it will help bitcoin to be more powerful using this new method of payment. I hope that bitcoin will be used in big industries in the whole world so then it will be more powerful and his value will increase each period.
