Today main news is that Starbucks Chairman Howard Shultz said they have plans of adding cryptocurrency payments in their shops.
The thing that shocked the most was - he said - Bitcoin is not one of them as its not currency of the future.
In 2015 Starbucks made an app that allowed to purchase coffee and get points through it. Maybe this is where crypto payments will take place?
So since they like blockchain, dont like BTC for micropayments (obviously for now) why dont we try adding STEEM there?

Hopefully they will have a Steemit account and accept Steem! That would be massive for Steemit and start bucks! Imagine how much money they'd earn from people liking random pics of coffee ;)

This is a great. I'm from Ghana and we creating a vibrant steemit community here. Our number one problem is unreliable internet connection so earlier this month, I got the idea of starting a "crypto-cafe". A place just like a Starbucks with free and powerful internet connection and everything bought there will be paid with steem. It's an idea at the moment and I think I'd be great if I can fuse it with Howard Shultz's idea.

Great idea and thanks for spotting and sharing this opportunity that we have to do something together for the value of STEEM. I did it right away.
Just reading it gave me a rush of ideas for how Starbucks could benefit from using STEEM. Giving people incentives to share their visits to Starbucks on STEEM-based social media would be like free promotion and also a new business for Starbucks entirely.
I shared my ideas further in this post and encouraged my followers to also fill in their idea. Hope we can make this work! :)

Have you ever tried sending a bitcoin transaction for $4? Fees are based on data size, not amount sent. A transaction for $4 would be completeley eaten by transaction fees if you wanted it to get any confirmations.

Realistically bitcoin fees are too high and the transaction confirmation times are impractical to buy a cup of coffee with. Something with fast confirmations and low or 0 fees would be needed. XRP or XLM would likely be contenders... or XRB which has 0 transaction fees.

Starbucks accepting crypto would be huge, but the logistics puzzle me just a bit. Are they capable of stomaching the wild swings in what ever crypto they accept? Will the coin be acceptable for micro transactions? Are users prepared to record the transactions for tax purposes?

While I think many companies will have their won cryptocurrency in the future, I don't see why they would go for their own coin at this point. As far as I understood, the entire point of adding a crypto was to make it an easy option to pay for your coffee with, but no one is going to have any Starbuckscoins laying around, so then you would need to buy these first, making it a pretty complicated process just to get a coffee. I think they will rather add a low-cost fee crypto.

Yeah, it doesn't make sense for one store to make their own. They would just be adding several conversion layers on what should be a simple transaction. For some outfits like Steam, it makes more sense, because they also run a peer-to-peer marketplace.

If they do create their own, it'll be a marketing stunt. They don't need a coin! They already successfully accept payments all around the world with the Starbucks app / giftcard system which integrates well with their contests, rewards and "star challenges".

I was there October 2012 in Houstan Texas for their manager and district manager training and event shows, over 10,000 district and retail store managers.
The executive team at Starbucks were encouraging managers to sell stocks that some might not have realized they had, telling stories of how some managers sold their stock that didn't realize they had for $10,000....at the time mangers got 43-46 shares per year, districts managers got more, and the crew got some too but not as much.
The managers were also encouraged to tell their crew to sell if they need to as well.
This low key orchestrated dump took the price from $25 down to $20.
Ironically that same event week was when they announced their partnership with Square so they can have people with iPhones going into their long lines and serve people getting a quick coffee ect.
If they announce their own coin I would be hesitate to buy. But if they were to start accepting Steem that can be huge for both Starbucks and us as a community.

It seems impossible for the current blockchain technology to efficiently broadcast every purchase of coffee in the world. They have to imagine how big blockchain must be and how fast the transmission needs to be for it to efficiently process micro-payments. If big companies, such as Starbucks, that needs fast and simultaneous huge data trafficking capacity, then only Ripple, XLM or bitcoin with Lightning Network can accommodate to this specifications. However, bitcoin's Lightning Network is still in its trial phase and there are rumors that it is not running smoothly. Since the big boss has already eliminated bitcoin as an option, it seems like Ripple or XLM is going to bag a huge partnership.

In times like this when new coins can show up everyday we probably haven't even seen 1% of the coins that will come the next 30 years. And when something is very new not all will jump on it at the same time. Will probably take years before it gets some mainstream attention. If people see that it's an easier system to use then I think most will jump on board the train of crypto.
Humans are also very creative in solving scalability problems. Especially when you put a team of people on a project and tell them to fix it. May take a while but a solution always comes up eventually. Just give them enough time. Or even better put an AI robot on it and it will come up with some solution. Big data it loves.

In my opinion they should go for BTS as they can create their own crypto asset, say Starbucks token and it has a large bandwidth too.

I personally would never use my bitcoins at Starbucks, it's just too valuable. There are many decent cryto currencies much better suited for this..

I love this idea and would love to see steem become even more practical a cryptocurrency not purely based on speculation like a lot of other altcoins are. That being said, I am NEVER going to spend my steem on a starbucks coffee! I'm leaving that for fiat. #HODL

This is a great step into the future. It is clear that blockchain and cryptocurrency is taking up steam. It would be wonderful to get steemit added onto it. I am loving this great news.

I am personally waiting for those debit card crypto companies like tenx to have their product available to people on a mass scale ( in the United States). Once that happens, crypto can be converted instantly into fiat.

I think many of us buy coffee in a cafe mainly because of the social aspect of being around other humans in a calm environment. So that is more what we pay for. Being at a relaxing location! But maybe soon with Virtual Reality headsets we can have our own virtual Starbucks in our living room and then have an AI robot create the worlds best coffee for us to drink!

I think the company would benefit by using the currencies that will be the most popular. That is those with the highest market cap but not yet congested. I.e. not bitcoin and not ethereum. If they support multiple chains, congestion in one would mean you could switch to another.

They dont want to accept BTC, must be due to high transaction costs and delayed confirmations of BTC and indicative of lack of with confidence soo many Forks of BTC (BCH, BTG and more that are planned)

They will never ever select any crypto which is decentralized so in short only ripple is one which suits them and they will go for it mark my words because they are running a business and only consider ripple in future even they don't allow crypto to buy coffee does not affect there business at all

If Starbucks takes up a current crypto for even a day, it would be a game changer. However, I feel that they may develop their own blockchain customer loyalty solution instead, much like every bank today.

The combination of Starbucks accepting a token earned from blogging just seems like a match made in heaven. STEEM makes a ton of sense here.

Great idea. They can market Starbucks as the place that rewards creativity. Write an article to pay for you coffee, can't get any better.
If they don't accept we could create the Steam Coffee Shop. Cryptos only. Free wifi. And donuts.

It will be great for Cryptocurrency in general when Starbucks and other highly visible businesses start accepting them. Obviously this has already happened to a small degree and not worked so well with bitcoin issues (ex. Amazon). Hopefully bitcoin will get its upgrades, but in the mean time there are some good alternative choices to use now and the one(s) that are chosen will have a upper hand to stay in the future.
The general awareness of the public will start to awaken more and more they see them being used as a currency causing the total market cap to rise.
The fees have to be low like litecoin or xrp etc. to make it work and have good exposure.

They will probably accept stellar or ripple... ripple is backed by banks, and stellar is just a faster better ripple
What cryptos do you think they will accept @kingscrown?
