Bitcoin for burgers-yum yum we ready!!!

Cryptocurrency is a big deal in the fast food world, it seems. KFC has hopped on the bitcoin bandwagon, while McDonald’s has been tipped to start accepting cryptocurrency payments by as early as 2020. However, Burger King isn’t just interested in accepting bitcoin. It wants to be bitcoin.Can you imagine lol!!

The burger chain announced back in August 2017 that it was launching its own cryptocurrency to power its loyalty scheme in Russia.

For every one ruble that a customer spends, they receive a Whoppercoin straight to their BK wallet. Once customers have amassed 1,700 Whoppercoins, they can swap their virtual currency for a whopper burger. Or, alternatively, they can sell and trade their burger-buying currency via the WavesGo platform.

Despite a strong start, the Whoppercoin fad died down fairly quickly. According to BitInfoCharts, the price of a Whoppercoin has fallen from $0.14 in September 2017 to less than $0.002 in January 2018.
