After the huge success achieved by bitcoin, a huge number of different cryptocurrencies have been created in recent years. New to this list is bananacoin, which has a very interesting concept. Do you dare to invest in it?
Bananacoin is a token based on ethereum. It indicates the export price of a kilogram of bananas. By purchasing bananacoin, you will become the owner of a kilogram of bananas, which will grow on an ecologically friendly plantation in Laos. The grown bananas will then be exported to China, where the demand for bananas is greater than the supply. A particularly popular type of banana is called Lady Finger.
