All these company based coins are essentially grey market stocks, sell coins for free capital, coins gain value on perception of company value. Plus Elon can continue pumping and dumping. The distopian future of company owned currency sounds terrible.

They're scrip. Spendable at the company store.

Everything old is new again.

I owe my soul to the company store.

Another day old and deeper in debt.

This is definitely going to work and, moreover, Elon will eventually use it to perform a rug pull at a scale not seen since like the previous week maybe.

All behold, the return of corporate scrip.

What was the original Simpsons screenshot? I want to know what those signs originally said.

[-] meggied90@lemm.ee 27 points 1 year ago

I don't know which episode, but the signs originally said "we don't take itchy & scratchy money". Hope that helps!

Seems to be S6E4 Itchy and Scratchy Land

It works just like regular money, but it's, uh... "fun"

[-] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

except it's not because it's value is way more unstable than regular money (I'm no expert in this so please don't murder me in my sleep)

What episode is this from?

[-] darkpanda@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

I’m assuming the one where they go to Itchy & Scratchy Land, which the internet tells me is season 6, episode 4.

I have much higher standards than that!

Not accepting any weak two-X whiskey, neither.
