RE: Starbucks Wants to Accept Cryptocurrencies - Lets Get STEEM There!
It only makes sense from a business point of view, bitcoin transaction fees would cost more than the coffee, plus payment takes hours. STEEM on the other hand has free transactions and take seconds!
How? And this is assuming it stays the same forever.
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.
The hot Cappuccino would be cold by the time the BTC payment is confirmed! Lol
