McDonald’s unexpectedly presented the MacCoin, having the business world do a double take with McDonald’s possible entrance into the crypto world. Interestingly enough, it was revealed that it would not be its own "first fully food-backed global currency", but merely another alternative to a coupon for a free burger.

Is this digital though? From the press release it looks like it's just a physical collectible token, not a crypto token.

McDonald's is a great company with thousands of franchises around the world, it will be interesting to see the momentum that the MacCoin project can bring to the world of cryptocurrencies

Nice projections...

Very interesting.

This seems like a massive beta test for a crypto they want to publish. Very, very interesting.

It's not at all crypto, just a token to have a big free mac or for MacDo collectors
