If you are in Canada or soon are going to visit the country – good news for you! KFC Canada, the fast food restaurant, focusing on serving well-fired chicken, accepts bitcoin for payment since this year January 11. Moreover, the branch has started livestreaming the price of the bucket in BTC. Interestingly, it is tied to the exchange rate of $20 CAD but swings depending on the price of bitcoin itself.
Unluckily for the rest of the world, the “Bitcoin Bucket” is available only in Canadian local restaurants. But if you appear in the region, do not miss the opportunity to use the service of the evening delivery.

How To Pay?
KFC Canada receives bitcoin funding methods by dealing with BitPay. However, the fiat money is still accepted. If you stick to the traditional payment means the company will still be glad to serve you a meal like that. Nevertheless, KFC is looking forward to adopting alternative coins in order to attract those clients, who are staying away from BTC high transaction fees.
