So typical.

"We are going to make our own coin because it will be better than bitcoin or any of the other 1000's of cryptocurrencies."

Oh it’s better this way than completely against with it. A start of a possible adaptation with one of the most well known brand in coffee shop chain is a huge success already on cryptocurrency and bitcoin. Even it sounds a new born coin that will emerge and supported by this company then it won’t be much of a negative but positive outcome of an effective campaign for Blockchain technology.
