Hongkong's starbucks accepts bitcoin payment according to a report and using an app called Fold app. Many companies are now considering the virtual currency as payment and a source of funds and hope that the bitcoin adoption will continue next year.
starbucks has been taking bitcoin here for over a year. it is strange in the usa, a nationwide company(not individual franchises) having differing policies in different locales. of course, it seems that all the different payment networks take time to spread out and not just "test market" to full boat, but region to region.
if this is true then the bitcoin will become increasingly popular. we know this is very much consumer starbucks. they are definitely going to try a new method is easier in the transaction. This moment will increase the deployment of bitcoin.
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. 
yepp they still not yet accept bitcoin directly like what steam did for example ,i just see here the service offering like a giftcard isn't it?
but the special thing are yo can reload your sbux balance with bitcoin through this service, am i right?
hopefully a lot of merchants coming to accept bitcoin next year!

Is this true? If this is true im very glad that starbucks is accepting bitcoin via iPayyou , This is a very good news for me and my friends because we all love buying cofee at starbucks cafe in our city.
Do you think all branches of starbucks is accepting bitcoin payment? Or chosen branch only?

this is good and its just the start of it. it will help the adoption over time and people will eventually start seeing bitcoin more as a currency rather than an investment or even seeing it as a virtual no value digital asset.
I love Starbucks, especially their Via, the instant coffee. And I love going there and getting a big mocha with shots of espresso, or a red eye. But I won't spend a single satoshi there. Ever. Why would I want to part with my hard-earned, beloved bitcoin??
I don't want to spend bitcoin, and I know I'm not alone here. Every time I go to Starbucks, I go with cash money in my pocket, and I leave them a tip with it. Handing over (in a virtual sense) bitcoin for coffee is inconceivable to me. Bitcoin is something to be bought, not spent. That's my opinion, of course, and I know some people here are totally for it as a currency--I just don't get it.

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 .

its a good news for bitcoin community and we can buy coffee in starbuck and pay with bitcoin, and i am sure that in 2017, there is another cafe will follow starbucks to accepting bitcoin as the payment. but for me, i not to often to buy coffee in cafe because i like to drink coffee in my home.
This is sure a great news for coffee lover and other bitcoin user, Starbucks is an International company, so it is going to raise bitcoin popularity, unfortunately it still need third party, not directly using bitcoin, but it is a great step to promote bitcoin, just hope in the future Starbucks will use bitcoin directly
Seems interesting for some people, but considering that it uses another service layer chances are they aren't going to get a ton of interest in it. They might get some, but likely not as much as if it was direct.
Doesn't matter much to me, though. I don't use Starbucks or drink coffee at all, but I hope this benefits some of the Starbucks customers on this forum.

so do I. I rarely use starbucks products because I just do not like coffee. so it sounds not really interesting to me. but at least when starbucks accept bitcoin, it means that they are announcing or promoting bitcoin as well. probably there will be more bitcoin users.
Well if this is true it can be a game changer because of its unique idea in which you pay Bitcoin in their application. Not needing to fall inline to take your order and then getting the Bitcoin address your sending your payment too, instead you just pay it directly to the app. If some companies follow what Starbucks did then Bitcoin has a good future ahead of us.

Nice! I hope to see more of these initiatives in Holland too :-)
It's good to know, though I did not see the starbuck I frequent has any signs of supporting bitcoin. Will ask the people there and will certainly try it if it is available.

Interesting information, and good for them, but I personally don't use Starbucks or any of the services they provide, and I think that I would rather keep it that way. I don't know if adding another service on top of the entire payment process is a good idea, but if they can make it work then whatever. It doesn't affect me, but I would like to see what comes of it.

i cant see a massive use case for buying coffee with bitcoin anymore, considering the fees at the minute also, yeah it was cool a few years ago but that fad has worn off. I think it is important that the option is there for anyone wanting to do that but i just think that bitcoin is much more important than that now.

This is definitely a good news for bitcoin considering Starbucks is an established and mainstream company, to be able to accept bitcoin as a form of payment will surely gain a lot of mileage for bitcoin and it may eventually propel it to new heights when other established companies follow suit. I wouldn't be surprised if bitcoin's price continues to surge with this kind of development.
How to pay Bitcoin to Starbucks still much confusing for me to understand the system to pay for my coffee. Please made it simple for me to pay them?
So Starbucks is indirectly accepting bitcoins now? Is this worldwide? Does Starbucks even have anything to do with this or is it just a work around?
This is great that bitcoin will now use to any of starbucks if i only knew then i will connect the gift cards im a coffe lover i want to taste all coffe from starbucks and there are 10 starbucks store near in my area i hope that not only strabucks will accept bitcoin next year.
