Bitcoin Bacon Kerfuffle

in crypto •  7 years ago 

No, not @frankbacon. Bacon-backed cryptocurrency.

About 3 weeks after Sausage Software started to sell the HotDog Web Editor online, Oscar Mayer contacted me and offered me $1 million - not for the software, for the domain sausage.com. Since a month before I was down to my last $18, I briefly entertained the idea. I wrote back to the guy “tell ‘em if they throw in a Wiener Mobile I will consider it”. I never heard back from them. Wiener Mobiles were just too valuable back in July 1995. Call me crazy - and some do - but a fully chromed Sausage mobile would’ve been a great cross-country promotional vehicle...

...Better than those Red Bull ones with hot chicks driving them and cans coming out the top.

We ended up instead with an RV with a HotDog banner blasting Snoop Dogg at Comdex and the Netscape parking lot...but that’s a story for another time.

Well, these days it seems Wiener Mobiles are just being handed out Willy-Nilly in #cryptocurrency disputes. A year’s supply of bacon is more valuable.

They were Doomed to fail.
They didn’t get MY approval on the project and I would have held out for a Weiner Wagon as well.

PS: BCH is the REAL Bitcoin

Perhaps you need your own Bacoin?

I like the cut of your Jib my friend.

I accept the Over valuation of the current SBDs as a close enough analog to how well a BACOiN would do; but SMTs and EOS apps will likely provide a nicer market to work in for my Brand. I abhor almost every Blockchain in existence right now. Give me Email on Bitcoin and I might get interested. Until then, STEEM provides utility that even the simplest of Folk can wrap their head around. And believe it or not, I'm a Pretty Simple Man...

Indeed I did. $20 shipping to New Zealand. There was some hangup with the purchase and I got a notice from Amazon saying it was delayed, maybe Dave's first print run sold out.

Bacoin! Everyone that negotiates with them works in the weiner mobile! Haha amazing. Can't wait for that Netscape parking lot hip hop party story

We called it "Snooping the suits". We also played "Burn baby burn! Disco inferno!"
