Hey pals. So, I'm writing this satirical speculative fiction story, and I have this running joke where very serious people have to negotiate, offer, and accept payments in the form of cryptocurrencies with ridiculous meme names. We're talking small business, big corpo, even government officials discussing these things with a straight face. "Would you take ten thousand skeetskeetz for it?" "No, they seem to be trending down at the moment. We're currently accepting yeetmoon and shizzcoin." "I sold all my yeetmoon last week. What conversion rates are you offering?" I want to keep it going throughout the whole narrative, but I also want there to be more and more new ones, with people jumping from one to the next depending on trends and speculation. I've come up with a few, but I'm looking for some inspiration. What elements might be considered for some cryptocurrency names?
For some reason I'm drawn to the dinosaur commercial route, wherein the circle of sadness and defeat is completed: subwaycoin, waldollar, mcCurrency, jaypeechase, hedgecut, rockblack, pepcoin.
Oh, this is a great concept, thank you for the suggestion! Of course in the near future they will be continuing to cash in on existing brands, properties, and nostalgia in general. That definitely switched on a lightbulb in my head. Another running gag I've been thinking of incorporating is that most characters were named after prominent TV/movie characters from decades earlier. And/or they have increasingly outrageous "unique" spellings of traditional names. You know, like, Ashley -Ashlee - Ashleigh - Aashliee - Aaahzzleee! But yeah, that's a good one, thanks again !
Oh, I like this idea. You can have a lot of fun with it. I don't really follow the crypto scene, but I do know that sometimes a currency will fork into different versions (usually due to some kind of spat between the developers, I think). You could definitely play with that a bit. "That will be 3.14159 Skeetmoon." "Skeetmoon?" "Yeah, it just dropped Tuesday. Yeetmoon with nanosecond skeet timing!" "So why not just use Skeetskeet?" "Hey, this is an honest establishment!"
