Burger King Russia Introduces The "Whoppercoin"

[Babyjamz3026]

It was made just to ne on a wave of hype. It seems to me it was something like loyality points.
I bet now they forget about whoppercoin and since the beginning it was nothing about blockchain. it is like a situational marketing, nothing more.
Don't mix up with real blockchain and crypto

[marousi]

Yea, the whoppercoin is a loyalty coin.

“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 !
What do you think about this news  ?^^ Any russian gonna try  it ? give us some feedback please

Is that a new marketing ploy? And this will be followed by a large number of people who suffer from indigestion, because there is simply impossible to eat, even though that offer, but I will not poison myself with such food.

I think that tokenization is the future of cryptocurrencies and it can be a game changer. Like the idea what Burger King did, I am little bit surprised that it happened in Russia first. This is the proof that no boundaries can stop Crypto.

[marousi]

Whoppercoin has not launched yet, BK Russia was waiting for government approval.

[Nivelir]

I really don't understand something about this issue. Firts question is whoppercoin that will be real stuff like we can touch and grab or virtual. Secondly, how can they detirmine value of coins ?

I also can’t understand how people can talk about this at all, because these are useless tokens, only if we consider this company from the point of view of securities, this could really help, but so far I don’t see any point.

This is news, corporations are catching up, and this already indicates that there is a day ahead when everyone will use crypto currency.
You can have time to dig a crypto portfolio. If only there was no such rapid fall.

If company start creating their own cryptocurrency, i am believe this is will be good from cryptocurrency space. More development and adoption will increasing confident and people will have knowledge about cryptocurrency.

I agree with you. This is just a proof that everything is doable and applicable to crypto. If it can be implemented whether it is a loyalty coin, it only proves that all the company is looking up to something that is futuristic as it may seem but feasible in a real-world setting. Though many companies are really studying about Blockchain Technology then I think Crypto will also make it through.

I have read from the link you gave these statement.

"Burger King’s decision comes amid a thaw in Russia’s posture toward digital currencies. After initially threatening to jail digital-currency users, the Russian government is reportedly considering legislation to legalize digital-currency payments."

This is really a great news to Crypto users that their government is considering to legalize digital-currency payments in their country. Some companies especially online companies are receiving cryptocurrencies (especially Bitcoin) on their online platform then it will automatically be converted to their local currency to be able to market their products and true enough, they have gained more sales by doing that strategy.

What could be the crypto-economic sense of a Whoppercoin?

I mean what could be interesting about a Burger King coin is the mining...However it'd be done.

Otherwise I have no idea yet if it's more than a marketing move.

Burger King Russia' Whopper's coin is a big scam. They have enlisted it at YoBit exchange, another Russian exchange that gambles with people's money!

[hongus]

Using cryptocurrency to promote your business is a good idea. This is a convenient loyalty program for everyone. It may also develop into something new. That is to say to attract more investment, or make a burger king a worldwide network where you can pay with your own currency. Let's say they buy burger tokens, they get instant profit. And you can give out food later.

[markieeeloy]

Wow, if that seems to be true, then I would wait to be implemented it here in the Philippines. Because I love burger king, and I love more because of their loyalty concept on gaining tokens while making purchase on their food.

[arkawa040]

wait, it turns out that whoppercoin already traded on the stock exchange??? If they will just give, but he has no value is complete nonsense, or something I don't understand? If the coin is traded and it will accept payment it is very cool.

[dicaprio]

Not at all surprising. As a result, it seems to me that in the future there will be very interesting situations, especially when large companies will begin a serious step towards success.

[Eat.Sleep.Bounty]

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

Me too, I would love to buy this coins. Even if it is still not implemented on our country, I would like to store and hold it on long term. Because if it has already have, I would love to avail it.

[Script]

This is an interesting idea for fans of fast food. But there are many other loyalty programs on this topic. If suddenly the project will be successful, and the coins will increase greatly in price, what will be the cost of a burger? Will this be a continuation of the famous story with the BTC?

This quite innovative and it still points to the fact that adoption of cryptocurencies by and large is in the offing and inevitable. Burger King has taken an early seat in the crypto world and I am sure they will have the right attributes to succeed

[mullzerwar]

If that really work, it absolutely will attract investors to put their investment over there, and it will soon implemented in another branch across the world. Other that that will also attract other company to also implement crypto in their company.
