Coin of the Day QTUM (starbucks partnership)

 Qtum. Qtum (pronounced "Quantum") is a blockchain technology and cryptocurrency designed to facilitate the interoperability of major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, as well as to make smart contracts more secure and easier to handle. The project is being developed by the Singapore-based Qtum Foundation. 

 The Qtum team mainly focuses on helping businesses build decentralized applications. More specifically, they look to build solutions which can be executed on mobile devices. All of these applications also have to be compatible with major existing blockchain ecosystems. Building a decentralized application which requires no trust is a lot harder than it may sound. The fact that something is decentralized doesn’t make it trustless by default. Qtum uses a modified Bitcoin Core infrastructure combined with a slightly altered version of the Ethereum Virtual Machine. As a result, businesses get the reliability of Bitcoin’s blockchain combined with smart contract technology and other technical features found in Ethereum. The main focus is on stability, interoperability, and modularity 

 The QTUM telegram group has seen an announcement, that the Starbucks chain would partner with the blockchain project. The exact nature of the partnership is still unknown.
