The crypto world witnesses a new flurry of activity as popular fast-food chain,
Burger King, continues its fascinating and somewhat surprising entrance into the cryptocurrency market. It started by establishing
partnerships with renowned trading platform,
Robinhood, to issue cryptocurrency rewards to its loyalty members, gradually having a taste of the crypto range, from Bitcoin to Ethereum, Dogecoin and even its own
WhopperCoin in Russia. Current scenarios also show it accepting Burger King's WhopperCoin and even expired MacCoins from its competitor, McDonald’s. While the hype might seem too good to be true, critics argue that these cross-over marketing efforts between fast food and cryptocurrency may divert the sincere utility of cryptocurrency in mainstream economy to mere publicity stunts. This ongoing bridge between burgers and digital currency introduces a paradigm shift, muddling the lines between traditional fiat-based transactions and cryptocurrency payments. Interesting projects have been developed here, with Bitcoin being used to purchase burgers at a NYC bar and even the creation of the
BURGER Coin. In comparison with renowned cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, BURGER Coin lacks robust technological innovation, given its meme-oriented nature. However, it's innovative by its existence in creating a sub-niche in the crypto space – the ‘food-themed’ digital tokens market. The
fascination among burger fanatics and crypto enthusiasts to mix a love of food with a love of digital finance has created an environment ripe for the creation and successful launch of such a 'delicious' coin, positively impacting the coin's value.
