How interesting, this is a big deal to see a fast food chain start accepting Cryptocurrency!

yeah, I was pretty amazed when I found out that you can buy BITCOIN on the national gas station in Slovenia called
Petrol :D

I wonder what that is, is Cryptocurrencies more stable in foreign markets?

ofcourse not, it is only one market but it is not a big difference if you pay 1$ or 1€ burger with 0.001 bitcoin or 0.0012. They still got payed and that is all they want if you ask me. Especially if they can somehow avoid taxes . :D
