Whoppercoin is a cryptocurrency you can eat or trade

Have you ever wanted to trade something fun, rather than boring stuff like oil, iron ore, or

shares? Maybe something like burgers? Now you can — kind of. Burger King in Russia has just announced a new loyalty program using virtual coins called Whoppercoins, which is hosted on the Waves blockchain platform. Waves allows users to swap and trade blockchain tokens which have an inherent value on a peer-to-peer exchange. A supply of 1 billion Whoppercoins have been issued so far, and customers will receive one Whoppercoin for every ruble spent ($1 is 59 RUB). They can redeem one Whopper burger with 1,700 Whoppercoins, which are stored in a digital wallet. While the Whopper cryptocurrency is a bit of a gimmick, customers can still trade and transfer the coins, just like any other cryptocurrency.                                                                              https://www.theverge.com/2017/8/29/16219468/burger-king-russia-cryptocurrency-whoppercoin-blockchain-trading-waves
