In an unprecedented move into the world of cryptocurrencies, Starbucks Corporation had recently announced their plans to launch an ICO for building the world's first Decentralised Autonomous Organisation for the entire coffee supply chain business. With an ERC20 token affectionately named Starbucks, owning these tokens will provide voting rights, coffee discounts, and profit-sharing dividends that will be paid out every quarter through smart contracts.
"It has been a very well kept company secret until now. There was a reason why we used the name Starbucks back when it all started. Coffee is a universal language and we have been spreading ourselves all over the world to connect with coffee enthusiasts. It is now time to give back to the people. Once the ICO is completed with Starbucks tokens sent out to participants, Starbucks Corporation will be dissolved and its legacy continued in its final form, Starbucks Cooperation. We are looking forward to using the Aragon Network to facilitate our transformation."
Pablo Dmitri (CTO)
This big splash of a news had also recently caused a huge public inquiry over the matter at their Facebook page. "When polo?", "When whitepaper?", and "When ICO?" were some of the most commonly asked questions. So if caffeinated worldwide domination and slave-free trade coffee is what makes you wake up in the morning, mark your calendars on 1st April 2018 for what is expected to be one of the largest ICOs in recent times.
How many Steemians will think you're being serious?
Hahah seems like @chadalax got that right..
Unfortunately, probably more than you would think.
It sounds like an April fools joke.
lol It surely does! :D
The ICO is set for April 1, 2018, surely that's just a "coin"cidence.
you're token drunk.. lol
Funny and cute. Is it me? or does all their coffee taste the same?
LOL. Yes they taste the same. I've no idea why I spent money going to one every single day back when i was a student..
Will their coin also be over priced ;)
Lets hope so.
Haha, you have a few going... ;)
Cryptocurrency as we know it wasn't even a glimmer when Star$$$ started.
Slave free? Star$$$ is about $$$.
Their coffee isn't that good, unless you need a caffeine shock.
Of course, can't do it with stock out there.
BUT, it's a really cool idea.
Starbucks tokens? #notreally ;)
It's the perfect token name!
It really is. We should highjack it and do an ICO!
It just doesn't stop looping does it lol
When you play an April Fool prank 1 year in advance 😂
Advanced jokes :D
Hahhahahaa
I SO WANT THIS TO BE TRUE!
And I don't even drink coffee.
Maybe they'll steal the idea. Starbucks is a perfect token name haha
