“you’ve official accpted Bitcoin for ice cream”
Cashier – “mmhmm ok. all i care is it said accepted”.
Will be a cool story to think about how you spent $3k on ice cream one day I guess.
I swipe my card takes less than 5 seconds and I’d don’t even need to have a conversation with a employee about paying with a gift card and have the WTF look from the employee
that doesn’t look easier, considering you need to open app,load app , load amount, get QR pay code
When it is so much faster to stick it in or swipe it, not to mention carrying your phone
This is cool and all, but as others have said, not easier. Probably should have leaned into the cool factor of it more.
Seems a lot easier to just use a card.
contactless bank payment still better lol
That definitely didn’t look easier than paying with card.
Cool. I use Gemini as well , but haven’t had the guts to actually try this yet lol. So thank you for your service good sir!
Nothing was settled on chain, sending money via a centralized app that requires kyc isnt too novel or interesting.
Fees probably were more than the ice cream
Right I used my gains on gamestop games for my kid lol shit was tight
I did this at footlocker it was littttt
This is cool and a step in the right direction, but I don’t see how this is easier than a card?
I can just turn on NFC and pay with my phone using my bank account with 0 fees – don’t have to open up an app or get a QR code up.
That doesn’t seem easy at all.
Anybody complaining that paying by card is much faster/easier etc. doesn’t get it.
This is a payment service which allows you to pay in stores with the cryptocurrency of your choice in seconds. Bitcoin wasn’t designed this way cause it takes 30 minutes for a transaction and costs a unnecessary amount of money.
This is a necessary step forward in adopting cryptocurrency to our daily lifes. And should be acknowledged by bitcoin believers.
Edit: Flexa payment is a payment service which uses the AMP token as a collateral. You could say it works as insurance as it deposits the store the money instant while the actual blockchain transaction can take place
Here comes the future!!!!
Apple Pay does the same thing
Lol cool video! I was wondering how that feature worked.
Well done. Now you have to hire a CPA to figure out your tax return.
Our definition of easier is a bit different
Maybe you should try it to see how easy it was for yourself. =}
When purchasing an item like this, how does the Tax man (IRS) see it. Is it yet another line that you have to add to your returns at the end of the year captial gains etc?
Card is faster. I don’t need to hold my phone
Sorry what just happened?
By the time you did that I could of robbed the clerk and took all the money
Ok but what is “Gemini (Flexa)” and what is “Baskin Robins”?
Ok but why would any sane person do that
Dude has 2 phones. Definitely ain’t easier when you have to buy another phone in addition to the one you already have.
How is it possibly easier?
1. most probably wasn’t an on chain transaction (most probably they didn’t really accept btc as they receive the payment in fiat)
2. created a taxable event
3. the process you Show takes mich longer than just tap your Card or double click your phone and tap that
So as Long as you’re income is not getting paid im Crypto I doesn’t make sense to have that service (which relies on a centralized bank….)
The real story here is NCR!!!
I want to like flexa, but $100 weekly limit per store/$250 weekly limit total? Also no withdrawals? Wtf?
Great! You just paid for ice cream with an asset that will be worth 1000 times it’s amount in 5 yrs. This is self inflicted inflation
Yes in current state Flexa payment can be a bit clunky for users- but nobody is talking about how huge this is for merchants. Maybe don’t pay in BTC, but the beauty of the Flexa network is you can pay with any coin, to any merchant, in any fiat- all with instant settlement. Just look at how simpler and cost effective it is for merchants to use Flexa compared to a credit card. https://i.imgur.com/WRBp5Ng.jpg
How is that simpler than card? You just stick your card on the scanner and you’ve paid in one second. And why spend Bitcoin when you can spend inflationary USD? Spend Bitcoin after hyperbitcoinization.
Dude: “you’ve officially accepted Bitcoin…”
Cashier: “sure, yea whatever…NEXT!”
adoption is here!
He’s like I’m gonna use a gift card….YOUVE OFFICIALLY ACCEPTED BITCOIN AS PAYMENT!!!!! Ooooo you’re in trrrooouuubbblleee
Curious as to what the fee on this was
lmfao “easier than card”
A transaction with my card takes less than ten seconds and this video is nearly a minute long. I like btc and i recognize its very bright future but this some fucking click bait title shit.
Really, I’m pretty sure I could have paid with a card more easily than that…
why would you trade bitcoin for ice cream
Like it should be easy and pain less
America is so behind on payment systems.
There’s a payment system called *contactless* . You tap (or just wave) the card and the bill is paid. You can even just tap your wallet.
It’s so ubiquitous now now that even market stalls and buskers have contactless payment. And in fact few places accept cash anymore.
Baskin-Robbins has the best ice cream.
Cool, have fun with that tax report 😫
This is stupid. Crypto still has a ways to go until brick and mortar adoption. By then the standard should and will be to be nfc’d at the entry and a single tap on the phone to confirm the purchase before leaving. Hell you don’t even need that at an Amazon store.
Eff the haters. I have you some uovote sprinkles. So what stops someone from using the barcode you just scanned again? Asking out of curiosity and the fact that you filmed the barcode and posted it. Expiration on the transaction address? Curious about security here.
