In 2010, a programmer who operated Bitcoin made the error comicly expensive to spend 10,000 bitcoin on two pizzas. To date, these pieces were worth $ 850 million.
Although there are few comparisons with this type of mal calculation, the prospect of adding payments of interest to fast food controls nevertheless lift concerns. Coming from a partnership announced earlier this week between Doordash and Klarna, customers can now buy a Burrito or McDonalds order and pay it later in four interest -free payments.
The agreement provides guests – which spend at least $ 35 – more flexibility, say the two companies. But customers who transfer payment on a fast food delivery run a significantly higher risk of missing one of these payments to pay without interest.
Indeed, for some, the new partnership is still another disturbing economic sign of the time. Said Chuck Bell of Consumer Reports in New York Times: “If you do not pay the bill in time and you start to get several delay costs, it could end up being a very expensive Chile Relleno or Pad Thai.”
