Cryptocurrency advocates have been saying all along that blockchain technologies would change the finance industry forever and people are starting to see why.
On August 22 a Russian conglomerate who runs the majority of Burger King restaurants in Rusia announced that they created a cryptocurrency specifically to be used to purchase food at their restaurants.
WhopperCoin tokens would be used to reward customers for each purchase of a Whopper sandwich.
WhopperCoin transactions will be powered by Ethereum rival Waves' distributed ledger network. The blockchain platform allows users to issue and transfer custom blockchain tokens and to trade them on an integrated P2P exchange.
Burger King is set to release an app for the digital tokens in both the Apple Store and Google Play Store in September.
Welcome to the WhopperCoin.
