McDonald’s began accepting Bitcoin (BTC) as a payment mechanism in the 63,000-person city of Lugano in Italian Switzerland, which is quickly becoming a hotspot for crypto acceptance in Western Europe. On October 3, Bitcoin Magazine posted a one-minute video on Twitter of purchasing meals from McDonald’s digital kiosk and then paying for it at the traditional register using a mobile app. The Tether (USDT) logo was seen next to the Bitcoin symbol on the credit cash machine, which is not surprising given that the city of Lugano stated in March 2022 that it will accept Bitcoin, Tether, and the LVGA token as legal money.
