✳️ Starbucks partnership with Microsoft allows customers to pay for Frappuccinos with bitcoin

in #steem6 years ago (edited)

An interesting article on CNBC this morning. Starbucks is working with Microsoft on a new digital platform that will allow consumers to use bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies at Starbucks.

I think this is the type of news we need to get cryptocurrency in the mainstream. Right now bitcoin and alt coins are in the dumps, not many people are talking about them. However, if you millions of people start using cryptos to buy every-day products like coffee, this could make huge strides in crypto adoption.

Keep on Steemin on and on!!

I’ve sold much bitcoin and bought steem power with the funds. I know there’s a link (though shouldn’t be) in steem ahd bitcoin price but I believe steem will eventually break away ahd be valued for its use-case

I know bitcoin can change the world
But we are going to new 2018 lows and we have to
There’s to much weak money involved

Abd we fall $500

Bitcoin needs to get much lower to get the bad and weak money out before we can rise again in a healthy way.

This is really big news and even NYSE announced btc trading

Great
More banking cartel manipulation 😡

Definitely great news and probably why the market has caught a good bid this morning. Will be interesting to follow how they implement.
