It's a good move to accept bitcoins but again it's not available in my country. Starbucks here charges such high prices for coffee and hence I prefer CCD or Barista where the coffee taste is the same. Also on BCT, many users are selling hacked cards of Starbucks which proves that most don't consider it a valuable deal to pay high prices of Starbucks.

i would rather make my own coffee rather than going to these outlets for coffee Grin

. To be frank i never had a drink from any of these outlets in my 30 plus years of existance Cool

and i am not sure how hacked cards work.If they started accepting bitcoins its a good move by the management .

Even if it is an indirect use of Bitcoin, it's still good news. Bitcoin could be behind the scenes as a means of transferring money in many ways.

Even though , iPayYou doesn't look as good as other services such as Bitpay for example , they managed to make Starbucks accepting bitcoin in their official application and that's definitly an achievement for a new service like them.
In order to use this feature , you first have a wallet in iPayYou otherwise It's not going to work. The next year already sound very promising and I can't wait to see more .

This is nice news, unfortunately we need to have a particular wallet in the service, so it seems to be some kind of third party payment system, but at least is something for those that cannot live without their morning coffee.

I think this is a great initiative from iPayYou to encourage people on using their wallet and even greater from Starbucks, and I think it is a huge step toward accepting bitcoin in the economy even more and encouraging not only people but also other big facieses to accept it as a payment method and I hope more places will start accepting it as well.

We all like to see Businesses accepting Bitcoin. But we need to see if this makes sense. In this case keep in mind that although Starbucks might not offer the cheapest coffee the fee are still comparatively high if you just want a coffee. Let us see how long they will offer this service, because if it will not work out, then they might cancel it and this would be worse for Bitcoin then not being accepted in the first place.

I think this is a huge step toward the future and a huge for bitcoin users , the problem with bitcoin users these days is that we don't find enough places to spend directly our hard earned btc without having to exchanging it to fiat which is quit annoying and deifies the purpose of bitcoin, and i think that Starbucks using it as a payment method is a really huge progress and i hope others will do it too.

Already been buying Frappuccino from Starbucks ever since Xapo became available for use here in our country. Not really using it directly as a payment but it still counts right? Also, this new payment method might sound iffy at first upon checking their site, but it's good to know that more and more payment processors are expanding their services for the economy.

same here.
i'm a xapo user and i can pay anything using bitcoin. it's visa and the confirmations comes in a second.

services like xapo, ipayyou, and others will make bitcoin easier to use to these things(like buying a coffe).

This video is from 25.08.2015, and I think I watched some other one with 4 guys in the car. They used gift card, but for me its the same, buying coffee with bitcoins was possible even then.

Well this is good news. I don't go there but it is certainly a popular company and their adoption would definitely popularize Bitcoin. This is the sort of positive publicity we need after all the hacking incidents in the past. I suppose the company's rivals would follow suit as well as some other big chains there in the US.

Starbucks is unavailable in my country, but that doesn`t change the fact that progress of bitcoin is affecting all users. I`m happy for people who can spent some coins for the coffee and get a discount for that, I can just hope that something similar will be available in my country soon, best regards and enjoy in your coffee.

This is great news for bitcoin even if they are using a third party to handle payments.

Step by step bitcoin is achieving well know companies, even without we be able to spend them directly, we are able to spend our bitcoin already, something we couldnt in the past. Next year i do expect several more companies to start accept bitcoin, directly or from a third companie, and we can reach the 1000 dollars once again, im excited to see the new version of megaupload working with bitcoins.

I have also heard that you can also pay to amazon via ipayyou before and now starbucks. They are pretty new service but already got good achievement which may turn out good for both bitcoin and to them in future. The team behind ipayyou seems to have good business contact to crack this deals. Grin

seems to still have to use a third party to shop using bitcoin, yeah I'm also glad it can be used. but perhaps all users will be happier when they can use bitcoin directly to shop without using a third party service right?

This is one of the best threads I have read in Christmas. I actually can't believe it, that my favorite coffee brand now accepts Bitcoins. This will save my huge coffee bills and make me even drink more coffee. Is the wallet secure though. I haven't used it so wanted to know. Any precautions we need to take and it's applicable in all outlets or selected ones for now.

This is very a good news that big merchants are already accepting bitcoin as a payment and this is indicating that bitcoin adoption is already spreading throughout the globe and hopefully it would be available in my country so that i could spend my bitcoin without the need of exchanging it to local fiat.

Good news for Bitcoin, I think they just realise that they can't ignore BTC anymore, hope to see more companies come into frame and embrace BTC

it is great to see regular every day businesses are sometimes getting involved with even if it is an indirect involvement with it but it is still helpful to the growth of bitcoin and in the end leading to that mass adoption we are all looking forward to.

Thats really a great news. Today, big companies have started realizing that by avoiding bitcoins, they only will be the loosers. It has become inevitable today for companies to accept bitcoins.

It means a lot, it means that bitcoin soon will be payment system in many popular services. I think it won't add them many new customers but it makes payment system more comfortable, but minus is that it will be better if any other wallet's user would be able to pay. So another things is very good. I think they will also accept payfair payment system.

It's interesting how fast things change, you know.. Starbucks is the biggest café in the world probably, and it accepting Bitcoin might make others interested too but I don't think we'll see much of a change unless they'll make one café ONLY for Bitcoin. Because Starbucks is so popular, the news will be flooded with this piece of news.
