The German branch of Burger King, a fast-food restaurant chain, has begun accepting bitcoin through its website and mobile app, Cointelegraph reports.

It also became known that from October 1, the world-famous consulting company PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) through its division in Luxembourg will start accepting BTC.
The company’s website says that the decision was a reaction to the growing demand for this payment option. In addition, PwC representatives believe in the potential of the blockchain, despite some problems along the path to mass adoption of the technology.
“Bitcoin is the first peer-to-peer payment mechanism that cannot be compromised and which is based on a decentralized trust model ,” the company said.
PwC Luxembourg did not disclose information about its technical partner, emphasizing only that “it works closely with the local regulated exchange”.
Recall that in June PwC launched the Halo audit solution supporting cryptocurrency assets.
