It's good to see people using BTC and other crypto as their daily payment methods, but this particular story seems fake as hell and there are so many clues to prove that which some of the posters above already pointed out.
Seems like this person wanted his 5 minutes of fame by doing all of this stuff to be frank.
Topic: The Kids buying Mcdonald order via BTC - page 2. (Read 774 times)
A little kid paying with Bitcoin at McDonald's looks really interesting. I don't see any good signs from this kid's actions because he is still a very young child, so he is not yet old enough to use Bitcoin. Maybe this kid's parents have a lot of bitcoins, and they have educated their kids on bitcoin education from a young age. When a kid is educated on bitcoin education and considers the positive aspects of bitcoin, he will not like to study when he can earn from bitcoin. Then his mind will develop towards Bitcoin, and he will not be educated in future good and his future may be bad. That's why young kids shouldn't get involved with Bitcoin so early. They have plenty of time to get involved with Bitcoin. Also, if they get some knowledge about bitcoin along with studying then it will be useful for them in the future, and they can move forward in future and know everything about bitcoin.
I think what he's actually surprised about is that these kids chose to use that amount of BTC to purchase something as frivolous as McDonald's meal. And even if it were local fiat used, it would have still being shocking because in this economy, you waste such an amount on something as fleeting as that 
.. That's too much spending for a craving, don't you think? Then again, who can question the power of an aching need to satisfy hunger? I mean, Lazlo Hanyecz can relate 
I did no realize that philipma1957 was trying to say that, but I actually don't find the amount that much either in fiat or in BTC, because the rates of food, and other things are so high in developed countries. This also means, people can make good money too. Because a person is paying $45 dollars for food then think for a second, about how much money they might be making. .. That's too much spending for a craving, don't you think? Then again, who can question the power of an aching need to satisfy hunger? I mean, Lazlo Hanyecz can relate Life in tier-one countries is so expensive, I don't know from which country you are so I can not compare the rates but I can compare mine. For example, the minimum daily wage of a labor is around $5, but in Tier 1 countries it starts from $50 to $100 easily.
But if they are making that much, it does not mean they are rich, because the rates of things are also high in the country where they are living.
It looks real that they are in a McDonald's fast food outlet; I just have no idea what country they are from, and I also think it looks legit that the kids in the picture are using Bitcoin to pay.
And I also agree with the comments I have read from others in this section that the children are behind their parents or relatives who are guiding them in the Bitcoin payment process, in my opinion. But it's still good to see a child becoming aware of digital payments like Bitcoin in this day and age.
They are in McDonald's, I don't know why that will be fake but okay I guess. Also, if there is any franchise that accepts Bitcoin as a payment, knowing how big McDonalds is it will make the news or at least there will be tons of posts regarding such a thing in this forum. I don't know how you are buying to this when we only have a picture that can have various explanation that leads to the kid not using BTC for payment. We don't have the context or whatsoever to support that claim.And I also agree with the comments I have read from others in this section that the children are behind their parents or relatives who are guiding them in the Bitcoin payment process, in my opinion.

It is people like you who are easily scammed that they believe everything they see as long as there is a photo.

Fast food OUTLET. Stupidest thing I've read today
Are you stupid AI ? What if they have bough everything by card and now check exchange rate in their wallet?

Looking at the latest comments here I don't quite understand. Now a local McDonald's branch has started accepting Bitcoin and taking orders without the head office knowing? Or was this just an advertising post? The tweet in the OP has been deleted. In the photo, there is nothing but a wallet image, is there any proof that an order was placed?
Generally speaking, it would be a very big deal for large corporate companies like McDonald's to accept Bitcoin. However, if this is implemented all over the world and in every branch, it would be big news. From time to time, this kind of news comes out, but then it turns out that it's just a case of a certain branch doing it for advertising purposes.

Since the subject is a large business like McDonalds I did a brief research on the content but unfortunately I couldn't find any definitive information about the reality of the incident. Since Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies aren't yet accepted as a legal payment method by many governments I honestly don't think that such a large business will accept payment with Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. For this reason I don't think that the information and images in the content can be correct. Additionally, I have some doubts that this post is not up-to-date because the full menu content is not visible and the amount paid corresponds to around 45 USD with today's prices.
Finally, I think that if a large business like McDonalds starts accepting payments with Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies this information will be announced quite quickly through reliable sources. For this reason, I think this content isn't accurate as there are many questionable details about the current situation and it has not been verified by any reliable source.
I agree with you. I was also skeptical about this knowing that McDonalds is a massive international food chain. If they are accepting crypto payment (heck even just a few branches) I'm sure it will make noise and we will find a post here in the forum about it. Moreover, you have a good point regarding the legality of cryptocurrencies for a lot of countries, which is a big factor to consider before a big food chain like McDonalds incorporate it as an offical means of payment.

For this reason, I think this content isn't accurate as there are many questionable details about the current situation and it has not been verified by any reliable source.
As for the picture posted, I think it was taken out of context. There are a lot of possibility on what could have happened there. For example, it could be that it just so happened that the phone was opened to that page and since the kid and whoever he was with was in front of the ordering machine it was misunderstood by the one who took the photo. Nevertheless, unless there is a legit verification as to what the actual facts are regarding the phone, I'd say it is not reliable to assume they are paying using BTC.
which same as you said that it is impossible that there would really be news to this considering on how big Mcdonalds is. I do also think up the possibility that there might be some false or concidence that someone took the picture at that boy while they are making some transaction and turns out that it wasnt really just been paid up by BTC and he might really be just that asking if its possible. If they would really be that accepting Bitcoin payments then it would really be integrated with all branches that they do have which we do know that this is something that will be still that questionable in speaking about
legal matters which it would really be entirely be different on each country.
Therefore, we could really be able to make out some conclusions that it wont really be that something that can be easily be applied because there would really be still lots of things to be
considered first before the company would really be making out such decision or integration of such payment option which we know that it do really opposes centralization.
The link doesn't work anymore, the tweet has either been removed or the privacy has been changed to private. However, from what I see in the pictures, I'm pretty sure that these kids have been taught by their parents about how they can open their wallets and scan a QR code to make a payment with Bitcoin. I'm not sure if they are actually teaching them everything about it but things like these are normal nowadays since digital payments are done everywhere.
And kids these days are extremely smart, they will learn something you tell them just once or twice, especially if it is something digital and has to be done using a mobile or a laptop or another digital device with a graphical user interface, and it's not really difficult to log in to a wallet and scan a QR code.

Indeed. Also, I'm not quite sure the way how McDonald's could accept BTC since it is a fast food chain and the order should be paid fast as well and this is how you can spend a few hours in McDonald's just waiting for your transaction to get confirmation as none of the solutions (such as LN) was mentioned on the screenshots from the first post.

I am shocked that they are using BTC in a frivolous manner.
But perhaps it means btc will stabilize at a low number say 30k and stay there for decades. Then spend 45 dollars worth won't be as stupid as buying 2 pizzas for 10000 btc was.
So I guess the parents are betting that btc will be stabilized close to the current price it is.
I don't find it shocking because, because for example, many service and product sellers are accepting BTC as payment method, which means on the other hand there is a buyer who is buying those services and products using their BTC. And if all people will start to hold the BTC instead of using it for p2p purposes then things will not be the same and people might not adopt it at first. Think for a second.

If they had paid in fiat, then that would be only $45 dollars which they can also use to buy the same amount of BTC, the point is they had money but they prefer to use that money to buy MacDonald instead of keeping/investing the funds/fiats in BTC. I hope you understand my point.
.. That's too much spending for a craving, don't you think? Then again, who can question the power of an aching need to satisfy hunger? I mean, Lazlo Hanyecz can relate 
it's great to see other people using bitcoin and innovating with it. Unfortunately, some countries limit this for the reason that their country's currency does not fall due to the existence of Bitcoin as a means of payment. but that's not bad, at least our country still allows bitcoin as a commodity and I'm sure some countries can also use bitcoin as a means of payment like what you posted.
Looks fake to me.
I've looked up to it and nothing appeared about a kid who's buying in McDonald's using Bitcoin. I didn't even hear the news about McDonald's accepting bitcoin as a payment. Even if it this is true, it looks like that his parent's are just trying to use him to make it funny like the guy who pays a lot of Bitcoin for just a slice of pizza.

Maybe it might be, it might be real or fake, I just went back to check on the link again and I notice that the tweet has been deleted, which is really not a good sign though.
I don’t know what the person who made the tweet want to achieve from it if they where all made up story or not, but I doubt it was since their is no reward which could be giving to such person.
As for the part where you don’t about MCDonald’s involvement in bitcoin acceptance I think this article will be helpful for you McDonald’s starts to accept Bitcoin and Tether in Swiss town the news is almost a year old now unless something changed if not, they are among the large business which have openly be accepting bitcoin’s for payment from their customers.
I think if it's just for education, allowing your child to order McD's using Bitcoin is no problem, in fact I think it's quite cool. However, if you do regular transactions and pay using Bitcoin, I don't think it's worth it at all because of the fees and waiting time.
But I really appreciate the father who introduced Bitcoin to his child from a young age, and even immediately gave his child practice in using Bitcoin for direct transactions. Hopefully in the future I can teach my child about Bitcoin like what he did to his child.

It's impossible for 170,000 sats to be spent on them shopping for several people, my assumption is that parents deliberately take their children shopping at McDonald's for their children's formal events. The positive side of payments made using Bitcoin by his parents. He (the child seen in the picture) gained new insight into payments, so far he only knew fiat money was used as a means of payment.
After he sees what his parents have just done, he can learn new lessons even though his parents did not teach them directly. Parents need to teach children from an early age to learn more about Bitcoin to broaden their horizons in the future.

But even so, I'm still in awe of how these kids were raised by their parents since even at such a young age, they are progressively learning about the idea and features of how important Bitcoin is to them. I respect parents who do an excellent job of educating their kids.
The younger generation are more accustomed to technology than people who are old. These keds and young people these days make up a large percentage of the techie community. I am not shocked to see Children that age understanding how to use bitcoins. I feel like some people can make the mistake of underestimating these little kids, and what they can learn. Some of these children can faster understand some modern technology than the people you expect will understand it. 
I also appreciate these children who have been able to transact with Bitcoin. They must have had parents who were great enough at educating them so they could do it. But I hope their parents also have to supervise their children. Because I'm afraid they will be cheated by someone. For example, they don't know the value of bitcoin. So they will send the amount requested by the other person (transaction opponent). And that will cost those kids more than they should. But I don't want to look at it from that point of view for now. So I would think positively that these children are indeed under the supervision of their parents when carrying out transactions. I hope their parents can teach them about the value or price of a bitcoin in the money they use.
