KFC is awesome! I have some great nostalgic appreciation for Col. Sanders because I remember as kid, in the summer, going with my parents to KFC for a bucket of "extra crispy" and a few "original recipe", on route to the local lake.

We would eat and play and swim all day long. My cousin would often come and we would wander and get into mischief that today helicopter parents would never allow.

Well today KFC reminded me and most Canadians of our fav fried chicken when @kfc_canada tweeted, to over 10,000 users that they are now accepting Bitcoin.

Seriously!

Sadly this is only for a limited time and is more of a sensationalist advertisement than an endorsement of crypto but still really cool and really funny.

I know they are doing it just to get hype, but still can't hurt to get more exposure for crypto!

That's exactly right. You've probably heard of that guy who spent 10,000 BTC to buy a pizza years ago, and most people meme him saying he was a fool but you have to remember 1st that people didnt take it as seriously as they do now, AND people are beginning to take BTC more and more seriously as a "money" or "value exchange" precisely because can and do spend it on goods and services.

If we believers in crypto do not "use" crypto for payment on purchases, how can we say it is a replacement for currency?

I for one am looking to get a TenX card this year, oldered it already even though they are not delivering yet in Canada. When they do I will get it, and when I get it, I will spend crypto. Not all of my coins, but some, here and there.

That is how we make this truly a currency.

lol

most expensive chicken haha

Chicken that'll lay golden eggs for KFC :D

buy today and eat in jully

Yup. Meme worthy in 2 years. But still really cool. Any chance for people to hear about BTC is ok with me.

yeah It was just a marketing thing but good for both :)

Cryptocurrency is the future. More acceptance is on the way...

Now bitcoin can't stop you from having finger licking chicken.... Lollll

lol.

I'm way too vegan for it nowadays, but used to love their cole slaw and mashed potatoes and fried chickiez.

Obv concern, network fees. I guess maybe not that many people will actually pay with bitcoin (those that know how will usually be aware of the fee). So I guess it's more of a gimmick than anything, still seems like not the best timing even for a gimmick hehe, but awesome regardless!
