Whoppercoin is the name of the crypto coin that the Russian division of Burger King has put in circulation in the height of the cryptography in Russia and in all parts of the world.
This new crypto currency has been created on the Waves platform. To date, there are only 1 trillion Whoppercoins issued, but developers do not exclude the possibility of additional emissions.
Burger King customers in Russia can now get Whoppercoins when they buy Whoppers. For each Whopper the visitor will receive a Whoppercoin. A representative of Burger King specified that the first use of the new crypto coin is a new program that rewards customers’ loyalty so that they can pay for their fast food using crypto currency. Although it is not clear what the full implementation of this will be.
With Burger King Russia launching its own token is expected that several companies follow in the footsteps, great addition adding you the great support that are receiving the crypto coins in the country of Vladimir Putin and the prompt regulation of the legislation in the scope. The Whoppercoin token is an experiment by Burger King Russia that undoubtedly and obviously will spread throughout the rest of the world in case such an experiment is well received.
There is a Burger King in Arnhem, Holland, which Bitcoin accepts, even in late June we read that the chain’s own restaurants in Russia accept payments with Waves, but it is not as relevant or interesting as the launch of a new token by part of a chain like Burger King. This is how Whoppercoin got New York Magazine, Fortune and ZeroHedge to give importance to this, taking a little break from Bitcoin after hearing so much about fork and SegWit.
In all this, of course, the power of speculation comes in, we have to think that it will happen when all Whoppercoins are in circulation, an interesting paradox is to think about what happened with some pizzas and bitcoin a few years ago, who knows if it Which today are loyalty points to eat your favorite hamburger tomorrow may be worth three times or four, or maybe more. The importance that Russia, Russian companies and government institutions are giving to the power of cryptography makes them take on more and more relevance in the economic world, forming a snowball that at the moment does not seem to slow down.
While we wait for news from Russia we will start gathering strength and emptying our stomachs if we are going to have to visit Burger King and get a Whoppercoins.
