Nipcoin: Digital Kitty Currency Done Right

February 28, 2014 By: Sparkle Cat43 Comments

No fatcat bankers here! I am very svelte

I have some very exciting news for you today! I am going into high finance! I read this week about all the troubles a digital currency called Bitcoin has been having. One of the biggest Bitcoin exchanges, Mt. Gox, went offline and Bitcoin-holding humans may have lost millions of dollars! Add in the the possibility that Bitcoin could be used for black market activities, and I thought to myself, “We cats can do this so much better!” So I have invented my very own digital currency especially for cats! We rule the internet already, so we should be in charge of the currency, right? So here it is, the kitty currency that will change digital finance forever:

This is gonna make me RICH!

Nipcoin is the money that all cats will want! Seriously, do you really want a bunch of silly green papers? Binga doesn’t!

It's not edible or whiffable, so she does not care!

The new Nipcoin currency will have real value because each unit will be worth a set amount of catnip!

This stack will get you a couple of kilos of nip!

That’s right — unlike Bitcoin, and for that matter, modern U.S. currency, we are on a strict Nip Standard! If you hold a certain amount of Nipcoins in your virtual Nip Mousie, you can rest assured that there is actual catnip standing behind what you are holding!

Fresh new buds, ready to be added to the Nip Reserves

The great thing about using catnip as a currency is that there is constantly new nip growing! Unlike gold, catnip is self-perpetuating! That way, if a kitty invests wisely, she can easily become a Nipcoin millionaire both virtually and actually! And since only cats will be allowed to buy and invest with Nipcoins, the possibility of Ponzi schemes or black market abuse is practically nil! That is because, unlike humans, we kitties are not (too) greedy!

I am the new chair of the Nip Reserve!

This new currency is liquid, secure, private — and best of all, it smells good!

    Not greedy, you say? This kitteh wants ALL the nip. After I find out what a Ponzi scheme is, I’m in. BTW, is there a meaning behind the crosses in the logo?

      Of course there’s a meaning! It means my human was too lazy to figure out how to properly put dollar signs on an “N.”
