Burger King Has It's Own Cryptocurrency... This Is Real NewssteemCreated with Sketch.

Yes you read that right. Burger King has its own coin. It is called the whoppercoin. According to the article you get them as a reward when you buy a whopper. You can also trade them in for a burger when you get enough or trade them on an exchange. As they are used to get burgers I do not see a big market for them but hey, they are backed by a major company so who knows. There is a quote on the article about eating whoppers as a form of investment that made me laugh, the site will be linked near the bottom of this post. It is only in Russia right now but I can see it expanding if it does well.

As funny as this sounds it isn't a bad idea. Well making it for the whopper only isn't ideal rewarding customers is always a good idea. If you could make money to eat at a place or at least get some profit back wouldn't affect where you choose to eat? I wonder what other fast food coins we will have. Mcdonalds here we come.

What do you think?

Here is the link, I recommend reading the quote about the financial strategy of eating burgers:

How crazy!

Everyone wants in on the coin game. Sounds more like a marketing gimmick.

It is part of the marketing I guess but that's cool for the burger fannatic, @whatageek Mcdonalds they have had the omisego... but somewhere in Thailand some part of the asia.

What I would like to see if it could be a good thing is say a big chain grocery store uses a reward like tier integrated like this and maybe even have that monopoly game safeway has to push a coin. Honestly im very interested to see where this goes
