McDonalds will not be accepting BitCoin anytime soon. You'll be hearing about it tomorrow. They will be accepting apple pay, google wallet and something called soft card.

Give the mainstream time. I'm not sure if it would even be a good idea something like McDonalds started accepting bitcoin right now. They would likely get next to zero sales and probably only think there's no demad for it and end up removing the option.

They would likely get next to zero sales

Why would that be ?

Why do you think? How many bitcoin users are there? Not many. How many will go to mcdonalds. A tiny fraction of a percent. How many Mcdonalds restraunts are there? Gazillions. If they did accept bitcoin I'd bet most stores would likely never even get a paying customer.

That's true. Not a Gazillion, only 35,000 or so. And like I said, I work there and they have been accepting NFC payments about 2 years BEFORE Apple pay, but not many people pay with their phones, especially in drive through because the customer has to give me their phone to do the transaction because the NFC reader can't reach a retarded driver that can't pull up close enough to reach the reader with their phone. Will you give me your phone when you have to make a BitCoin transaction? Probably not!

Only what Apple does is cool, that's the society we live in.

So, since next to nobody uses bitcoin now - in your opinion - then looking forward say a year do you figure a little more than next to nobody will be using it then ... fewer ... nobody at all ?

Do you think executives of big corporations typically try to plan ahead, be ahead of the curve if you will ?

People use bitcoin, just not the amount of people worthwhile for McDonalds to realistically roll it out worldwide, and if they do they'll probably just come to the conclusion that its not worth the hassle then get rid of it, which will be bad news for bitcoin.

And if the execs were that forward thinking and ahead of the curve then why haven't they and every other corporation on earth started accepting it yet?

This moron has all the answers and knows what´s worthwhile for MCD, why is he asking me ?

On ignore. Totally contentless. Waste of time. Bye.

You are (trying) to make the point that McDonalds execs are likely so ahead of the curve, so I'm asking if that's the case why haven't they already done so, so I'm backing up my original point whilst refuting yours, so clearly you are the moron who cannot comprehend this and choose to ignore and run away from your opinions you cannot back up. The ignore button is for cowards, so well done.

Since you know so much for a fact; please tell me

how many tiny fractions do you get when you divide a gadzillion by not many ?

I never said it was a fact just offered my opinion, but to answer your question you get next to zero, so that's why it's largely pointless.

McDonald's have always had a history of marketing towards children for sustainable growth.

Crypto blockchain technology is future so I'm sure it's on their radar, as by rationale, to tomorrows adults blockchain tech will be standard.

I would say they have more of a history of marketing towards the masses. Their offering 'happy meals' is/was a way for them to get families to purchase multiple meals with their children.

Unfortunately bitcoin is not quite used by the masses

Is this not similar to house Subway began accepting Bitcoin; namey via franchisees? If I am not mistaken McDonalds could move in the same direction.

If MCD will accept it, we will all get fat. Cheesy

No really, it would be a great step for BTC to become even more mainsteam.

What do u mean by even more mainstream? its not even close to mainstream as of yet..

Sadly it is already close and it still didn't skyrocket the value, atleast 30% of world population (don't involve 3rd world countries) already have heard of bitcoin.

MCD stock has been going flat. They need to boost sales.

I never eat their crap but if I could pay with bitcoin who knows, might make an occasional visit.

That chart only shows a successful business to me. They need to step up their game and stop fucking around and accept Bitcoin just like everyone else needs to.

Absolutely.
