“The Whoppercoin launched in tandem with a new loyalty program. For each Whopper burger customers purchase, they'll receive one Whoppercoin in a special cryptocurrency wallet. While the coins’ wider use is unclear, some reports suggest that the Whoppercoin will be accepted as payment at Burger Kings across Russia.”

Dat Sound Great !

Just because you have the ability to do something doesn't mean you should!

That's hilarious man! Would be interesting to see how they use the coin.
I would buy one for the novelty even though we can't use it here Tongue

Isn't that the same as coupons? You buy their product, you get discounts. What are they trying to achieve here?  Grin

Well, if the coupons are tradable, you could in theory buy a burger with any crypto. Mine coins, transfer to Whoppercoins, eat burgers.

That's a nice marketing instrument. Buy more burgers to get special coins and you can use the coins only in the same restaurant chain. But what would happen if suddenly some exchanges start to list and trade this coin? Price would rise up and people would buy burgers like crazy just to get the coins and sell them to others.  Grin

Bitgesell (BGL):  A modern and truly scarce store of value. Burn rate is 90% of tx fee. Yearly block reward halving.

It's just the beginning!

It would be a win/win.
This should work similar to a loyalty program (reward points) or amazon gift card where you can buy/sell the gift cards in open market or use it with amazon itself.

 I think it's experimental. If it work, maybe some other companies will start to do the same.

And they already have a loyal customer base of millions of people. It's a great way to distribute a coin far and wide. I hope they roll it out worldwide if it's a success.
