PwC and Burger King regional units start accepting bitcoins

The Luxembourg division of the consulting company PwC, a member of the Big Four, will accept bitcoins.

On Monday, the company’s website published
A message saying that this step was taken in response to increased demand from customers.

“Many people understand that bitcoin is the first peer-to-peer payment mechanism that cannot be hacked, and the functioning of the network itself is based on a decentralized trust model,” the PwC website says. The authors of the publication added that the company believes in the prospects of the blockchain.

PwC has not yet disclosed the technical details of implementing its plans. It is reported that the company “works closely with the local regulated exchange.”

In mid-June, PwC launched
An updated Halo solution with the ability to audit cryptocurrencies.

In addition, the Cointelegraph yesterday announced that Burger King also began accepting bitcoins, but so far they can only be paid in the delivery application of the German unit. Nothing is said about the possibility of using cryptocurrency directly in restaurants, of which there are more than 600 in Germany.

Recall that in the summer of 2017, representatives of Burger King announced that Russian restaurants will start accepting bitcoins. And a few weeks later Burger King Russia released
own cryptocurrency called Whoppercoin, which is based on the Waves platform.
