What are your thoughts on this?
That is great news, McDonald's is the biggest restaurant chain in the world and if they are moving ahead with accepting Bitcoins in Switzerland it's a big step. This already happened in February this year and hopefully it was a successful trial experience for McDonald's. I also read that the whole municipality of Lugano wants to move more into the crypto world and will try to accept Bitcoins in everydays transaction. Lugano is a very touristic city that attracts many visitors in the summer and in the winter. If you can start using bitcoins in every store on your vacation that would be an awesome experience. So far I didn't read about other McDonald restaurants to also accept Bitcoins in Switzerland. It would be great if you could play in every McDonald's restaurant with Bitcoins. And once they made the first step, BurgerKing and KFC can't be far behind and do the same thing.
I believe it is not much of a surprise as Switzerland is indeed a crypto-friendly country. And since McDonald's is one of the popular fast food chains across the globe, this will be a good adoption when it comes btc payment. People will also appreciate it as LN has very very cheap fees. Educating people on how to transact with LN will be the bottleneck at first. But later on, once those staffs are knowledgeable enough, they can easily teach their customers how to utilize this payment to their advantage.
