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.

In addition to curiosity about bitcoin fried chicken barrels, I'm still more concerned with how to deal with Bitcoin and real currency rates because the value of bitcoin is subject to change, but I think that should not be a problem either.

It isn't a problem because customers are charged with the value in real-time, so you pay what the rate is at the moment you order. The price won't change a lot in 2 minutes...as long you don't take 3 hours to pay. And from the KFC point of view, it doesn't matter either because it get converted to fiat automatically.

I am really happy to see this. KFC is a big company and if it embraces bitcoins then i feel like others will soon follow.

What a nice marketing strategy. I think having an option to pay with Bitcoin even for a limited time is enough exposure for cryptocurrency. It will give people an idea that crypto currency do really exist not only for investment but could serve as fiat too when available.

I hope more and more companies accept BTC as a means of payment. It will help solidify BTC and also increase if awareness. KFC's move is another welcome development.

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.
