Topic: McDonalds to accept Bitcoin by 2018 - page 27. (Read 8427 times)
it really does not make any sense. maybe it would have been logical before but last few months, bitcoin has become an investment tool rather than a trade tool. i have difficulties to understand how they can deal with this huge uptrend.
I'll have to see it to believe it with major players allowing BTC payment. I don't think the demand is there other than in Asia. I can see it starting to become possible in a year.
Maybe a few pilot programs will start in 2018.

Even if it does not make sense in context of transactions fees, it is very smart marketing move and good for crypto in general. It will definitely move the price up.
McDonalds will NEVER accept bitcoin because at times the transaction fee will cost more than the food.
If this is indeed true, then the future of the currency is certainly Bitcoin. BTC is very convenient in transactions, security, very high security. If McDonalds accepts Bitcoin payments, there will be plenty of fast food chains like KFC, Burger King will accept this method of payment.
It's seem ridiculous to me. Now i can order a big Mac and waiting for some hour of transaction and pay for more fee than the old day. The popularity of bitcoin is really good and i glad to see many shop accept bitcoin for payment but i think i should let it go to far. Beside, to sacrifice the conveniences of modern life, bitcoin and exchanging website need to improve the speed and quality of the transaction !
I don't know Mcdonald is will accept bitcoin or not, but in future it will accepted in physical store.
Legit? I personally disagree with that. What is the reason why they want to accept bitcoin as a payment? First of all does all bitcoin have taxes? Like the VAT? How? You need a lot of time to confirm if you are really the one whose going to buy those Mcdonald's burger and fries. It will take too long you'll just starve until they get it from your account. Yes it will be easier but isn't being paying by fiat money or credit cards are mire practical? Just saying..
it is good news for bitcoin user because we can buy McDonalds with bitcoin. but I think we need to adjust the bitcoin itself and especially for the fee and the confirmation of the transaction. we need to adjust the speed of confirmation so when people don't have to wait too long to get confirmed. I hope in the future, there will be much more store accepting bitcoin so bitcoin will be known globally.
If mcdonalds accept bitcoin it is great news to people who bitcoin users and also always they dine in the fastfood. Also if this happen it easier to us to make transaction to them and less time.
Personally I don't know,if the McDonald's will accept the Bitcoin by 2018,but in physically store or malls maybe it will happend someday,because somes meals they all need cash to basis operation no credit cards allowed,I hope also they will implement this kind of system so everybody will used the Bitcoin in the future
For now any one starting bitcoin transactions are of any use to the users because of fees and the time it requires to transfer. Same news about amazon is also coming but i don't think that it will be successful until the fees and time is cut out . I hope in next year there is some technology which could reduce both fees and time.
wow ...
very good news for the bitcoiner.
because it makes it easier for us to transact buy the needs we need.
hopefully this is a good move to lift bitcoin to the surface.

I wonder how they're going to do that? because at the end of 2018 a big mac would be worth less than 1 satoshi lol. So how are they going to do that?
I don't think this will happen because of the increasing value of Bitcoin no one will encourage to use this just for a McDonalds product and food.
buy macdonald for 1.99$ and pay 3-6$ transaction fee ... emmm i dont think someone will pay with bitcoin that way ... 
In the first glance, the news sounds good. But Bitcoin is not suited to fast food chains as payment gateway. Bitcoin is so huge and slow. Mc Donalds might ask you to stay in the store while the Bitcoin confirmation is not yet visible in the blockchain. Other good and fast alternative is: LTC , DOGE, DASH .
was thinking the same, "please give me 2 happy meals, 2 big mac and a coke"
"That's 12$, how do you like to pay?"
"Bitcoin please"
"right, move to the side while we wait for the blockchain to process your payment, it will take between 2 minutes to 3 hours, please be patient"
That's not practical especially in McDonalds shop, waiters must be fast for each order because there's usually, at the peak time, a long queue.. it will just not work
2,000 Minutes = 33.333333 Hours

I doubt that people who own bitcoins go to eat in McDonalds. Useless idea, in my opinion.
I hope that this will become true in 2018 and not just a rumor because if the mcdonalds will accept bitcoin by 2018 then it will just make the bitcoin more popular than before and the price of bitcoin will continue to go up also and it will become more unstoppable compare to the price and foundation of it right now.
Hm...If i want just to buy a cheeseburger - i will additionaly pay ~3.5$ for fee...
It will be better if they accept LTC with high speed and low fees.

Wow!! What a great news. This will be a turning point that BTC is globing.
