How much methane can a deuce actually produce? Is this a cryptocurrency for poop? I have so many questions. One of which is how do I make sure this is never installed in my home?
Oh man, the jokes write themselves:
"Korea’s ‘poop-coin’ reached the end of its pipeline"

"Cho has devised a virtual currency called Ggool, which means honey in Korean." It means honey. Because of course it does.
And my favourite, the inventor says interest in his project has "dried up." I love it. Some PhD made a literal **** coin. This made my day.
He is missing a golden opportunity! (Well, not actually "golden"... maybe more like a dark brown one.)Quote:

From then on, if someone asks, "Who gives a flying ****?", then we'll all now have an answer!
