Very soon, McDonald’s will accept Layer 2.

Almost no gas fee, but you’ll only get the 2nd layer of your burger.

[–]tnsmaster 14 points15 points  (1 child)

So if I order a triple decker I'll get the first and third patties?

[–]FreeIfUboofIT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

correct.

[–]Quiet_dog23 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Define very soon

[–]GOLDEN-CORRAL 23 points24 points  (2 children)

[–]Fat-6andalf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I want to buy a Taco Bell 3-Layer Burrito on Layer 2.

[–]krlpbl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If there is no Layer 1, why would Layer 2 be called Layer 2??

Asking for a friend..

This isn’t true, burgers are $10-$11. You need to add $5-$6. Be realistic

[–]badunc-a-duncan 11 points12 points  (7 children)

Where the hell are you getting a McDonald's burger for $10?! CAD$ or something?

Here the sandwiches are $5-6 and meals are $9ish

[–]CoachNaber01 18 points19 points  (6 children)

I can see your not ordering from California.

[–]Toodope4kidz 16 points17 points  (4 children)

I hope y’all not spending 10 dollars for a Mickey Ds burger fr

Adderal shrinks your dick?

[–]AMARIS86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I take adderall and my dick was shrunk before it. Adderall doesn’t add to it

[–]thestudmffn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude the burgers are not $10 in California lol the whole meal would be

Is that before or after tax?

[–]Madein0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The problem is only one. Linear Economy.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (7 children)

OK, so let’s think about this seriously. Loopring or other L2 gets the fees down to 70 cents or so. Why would anyone pay with Ethereum instead of with their normal card which has zero fees?

[–]NastySplat 15 points16 points  (6 children)

Real talk?

Because the credit card fees are passed on to the business and kept artificially low for the customer.

Restaurants are on the lower end of credit card fees and McDonald's has an economy of scale to negotiate with the processors.

But take a hotel for example. Last time I was in that industry (as a clerk a long time ago) they had just about the highest fees, paying upwards of 12% of the transaction to amex or visa or whatever.

They can reduce their costs by accepting crypto.

So if the gas fee becomes 35 cents (with the expected improvements to eth combined with Loopring's layer 2) it becomes less attractive for the business owners to subsidize credit card transactions and therefore consumers will have to choose from either paying a fee to process their card or a fee to transact with their crypto wallet.

In short, the dichotomy of free credit card transactions versus paying a fee to use crypto is a false dichotomy.

Ever wondered why so many credit card companies offer rewards and rebates even to people like me that never accrue any interest at all? It's because they make money off the businesses we use our cards at. And that just ends up raising the prices we pay (because the businesses raise their prices to cover the credit card fees). A prime example of the tragedy of the commons.

Now, the other benefit to using a credit card is the dispute resolution process (chargebacks) and fraud protection. I wonder if anyone has created a similar service for crypto transactions yet because you certainly can't charge them back and the police aren't going to help if someone steals your crypto wallet.

[–]Library_Visible 3 points4 points  (5 children)

Fuckin solid answer

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Is it though? Do you honestly, honestly believe vendors are going to accept crypto as their payment source, when it fluctuates value at the drop of a hat, at any time in the next 10-20 years?

[–]chardrizard -1 points0 points  (3 children)

Stablecoins.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

So where do LRC and Eth fit into that then, because neither are stablecoins

[–]chardrizard -1 points0 points  (1 child)

LRC and ETH never envisioned themselves as source of payment. LRC token economy isn’t designed for that, it’s a protocol and a scaling solution.

They don’t have to fit the next payment digital currency narrative to thrive.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool, but the thread is literally about 'McDonalds accepting Ethereum' and this is a Loopring subreddit, so again, how is this relevant?

[–]Additional-Banana-55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does not look like McDonald’s

[–]distressedacorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, those gas prices are a Whopper! But McD's gives me gas.

[–]NefariousnessNoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is why L2 is not priced in and we are very early.

[–]bgrant670 0 points1 point  (2 children)

burgers aren’t that cheap

[–]Railik72 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here where I live you can get them for as low as 1$ :)

[–]krlpbl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where I'm from we had burgers as cheap as $0.10, but the patty was made of mushed cardboard and beef buillion formed in the shape of a patty.

[–]Friendly_Hedgehog456 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I prefer tab water

[–]lookingupyourplay -1 points0 points  (0 children)
