If McDonalds will indeed accept Bitcoin , I believe other fast food chains will want to do the same. Which will result in a great amount of exposure.

not only Mac' Donalds, many brand have to accept BTC. That day seems not to far.
If the news is true then it  would be a great for bitcoin users, let us hope for the best to happen in 2018. If they accept then there will be advantage for both.

This will be a huge news neither or either this is true. Incase that it will happen expect the unexpected. This will be a revolution of payment via etc to food chain services.

This is a nice idea and maybe they are going to implement a prepaid card on which everyone will use to transfer their coins for paying their meals. Fast transaction and cheaper bills will be the best solution for poverty if this kind of transactions will be implemented.

I think it is good news for us bitcoiners. McDonald's is one of the successful fast food chain in the world. I think bitcoin will become more popular because McDonald's corporation is really influential.

Transfer fees are too expensive for a big mac. Transfer time would take longer than actually driving through or even waiting in a line 6 people. Honestly, it wouldn't make sense because it's very inconvenient to both McDonalds and the person buying. Honestly, I'm fine using real money.
Yeah, these are the issues that have accompanied Bitcoin since its birth .What do you think people will not avail this facility and for how long are we going to make our deals in real money? Everything will be transferred into digital form and this is the beginning of a new era, a society which will be cashless. People will use Bitcoin for purchasing food from McDonalds and I am happy that finally Bitcoin will be going mainstream.

This would be a welcomed development in the crypto world, it will increase the popularity of bitcoin and also benefit Mcdonald too before many bitcoiners include myself would love to order a mcdonald meal in the comfort of my home using my bitcoins if that would really happen I think it would benefit the fast food franchise also since it would open new doors to its customer and will give them freedom in terms of payment.

I'm trust with this speculation because many people already believe in bitcoin, so everyone who owns a business like a restaurant will see an opportunity to apply cryptocurrency technology to make it easier for visitors to transact. So, dont be surprised if one day all transactions will use cryptocurrency like a shopping place, restaurant until public space

If ever this is legit and true, then it is good for the community of users of bitcoin. Actually, we should be expecting these kind of events as bitcoin is becoming popular worldwide and more people started using it. More large establishments and companies will be accepting bitcoins as payments as people demand to have it. Sooner or later bitcoin will be used everywhere in the world.

Any establishment accepting Bitcoin especially if it is a huge company as this is a great accomplishment for Bitcoin.  I believe this makes sense for those who deliver goods since they do not have to accept fiat currency payment and won't be a target of people who have evil intentions of stealing money from these delivery personnel.  This will definitely put Bitcoin to more places in the world.

I think If this happens, it will be more comfortable for everybody, increasing the reach of bitcoin in business is a smart move,  It is also a good marketing strategy for mcdo to accept bitcoin, bitcoin price is continuously growing and is user are expanding! with that they can get more profit in just a single chicken feet!😂

Yes it can be more comfortable and easier to use bitcoin on buying foods using Bitcoin but the problem is the high fee's and slow transaction that bitcoin has now. If only Bitcoin transaction fee is low it can really help to bitcoin to be know in the public.

if it is true in 2018 McDonalds receive payments using bitcoin I will be very happy, because I am one of the buyers who really like the product. it can facilitate me also in the payment process. and that means McDonald supports the advancement of the world of cryptocurrency through the payment of bitcoins. hopefully it happens.

Don't get too excited about it. There are a lot of roadblocks. Even if the issue with fee/confirmations can be removed with the usage of a third party processor (such as Coinbase), the legal and logistical issues remain. McDonald's need to find a bank where they can deposit their earnings from BTC (trust me, it is difficult). And also, they need to convince the authorities that BTC is a legal form of payment.
Yeah , I agree with you , since this thing really makes us motivated to use more and more bitcoin for the better future but for 2-3$ of thing needed to pay 1-2$ fee in bitcoin will really results into loss for the customers and also they will face the same problem during withdrawal .So in that case they will need own service that will be Thier party Wallet to make transaction free of cost like we can send any cryptocurrency from one yobit.net account to another using yobit code , so may be they need to such types of services but unfortunately it is not available , so I this case they need to have better and new own service so that people can easily buy things with the bitcoin in Thier services .
