If you are following my posts then you know how I love spreading the word about all kinds of shit tokens. In most cases, I don't "invest" (lmao) in them, I just share them for the lulz. Even just their names are ridiculous and funny, let alone their...actual use case. Cumdogeinu, gaycoin, poocoin, etc .. I thought I had seen them all.
But a friend recently brought to my attention something that somehow i missed. Dunno if it's still active, but it takes shitcoinery to the next level. It's a literal shitcoin!
Meet... Ggool:
Cho Jae-weon, an urban and environmental engineering professor at the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), has designed an eco-friendly toilet connected to a laboratory that uses excrement to produce biogas and manure.
The BeeVi toilet - a portmanteau of the words bee and vision - uses a vacuum pump to send faeces into an underground tank, reducing water use. There, microorganisms break down the waste to methane, which becomes a source of energy for the building, powering a gas stove, hot-water boiler and solid oxide fuel cell.
Each person using the eco-friendly toilet earns 10 Ggool a day. via Reuters

What a pity as I am about to take a big dump 馃槶
