The Next Big Thing in Crypto?

The Belligerent Optimist

No wait! Here me out!

It’s called the Question Mark ($WHAT) and it’s a bit like the pre-euro German Deutsche Mark, but actually, not really at all.

What it actually is is a radical new, hyperinflationary and terminally uncertain crypto currency, where no one knows a god damned thing, life is a mystery, civilization is a cult, economics is an inside joke and the entire cosmos (and inevitable metaverse) is rendered as an ineffable and ever expanding blob of Question Marks (?).

How many of them are there? Good question. Infinity? 3? 17.5? Who the fuck knows? God. That’s who. And Douglas Adams. Also, congratulations…you just created some more. Paradox is the nature of reality. We’re just bringing economics in line.

What are they worth? Great question! About…half a dozen whateverthefucks. Everything and nothing. Both. All of the above. It’s Heisenberg’s Uncertainty coin. Roll the dice. Or don’t. Nobody cares. Congratulations again.

Think of it!

“Excuse me sir, I’ll take a dozen apples, please and thank you”

“Very good!”

“Right, how much will that be?”

“ahhhhh…I dunno. 6?”

“Great, here’s 4? Keep the change”

“What?”

“Exactly!”

It’s a metaphor for existence. You know you want it. Now one of you geniuses go out and make it. Then give me a few. Enough to attain enlightenment.

Please and thank you.
