I am hoping that this can create some like an avalanche of support for Bitcoin in the fastfood industry. Once KFC competitors can see the press coverage that KFC is getting for this move there is a big possibility others can follow the same. We know how powerful even the use of the word Bitcoin or its symbol can be. In fact, we need more of something like this not just because of the publicity generated but making Bitcoin get more into the mainstream of the population. There is a big question on Bitcoin whether it can also be a currency while being a store of value at the same time -- and so we hope that slowly people will realize that Bitcoin can also be both.
On point! Its clear KFC is keeping this as a limited time offer. Might be they are trail testing how it goes about. Whether the currency thingy is going to be adopted is a big question. Though this is a good marketing and patronizing awareness for Bitcoin from KFC's end, I also feel people will be reluctant to use on on spending once they see the amount and fee and confirmation time. Its like ordering bucket for $5 and seeing the bill as $10!!
One the humor side, does anyone know when KFC/BTC be traded?
