Crypto Fundraisers - Bake Sales Give Way to Block Chains

I’m launching my own cryptocurrency.

I'm calling it Fiat Money.

Backed by central banks. Unlike yours.

Another, targeted at fans of a particularly vivid world: "Tolkien Tokens"

• You call it crypto.
• We call it currency for a strange new world.

Whether you're bartering with hobbits, investing in elven startups, or escaping Mordor's inflationary spiral, Tolkien Tokens travel farther than fiat ever could.

Backed by myth, meme, and mild delusion.
Spendable anywhere dreams outrun reason.

Finally, as government spending continues to erode and the odd fascination with crypto continues, it is (weirdly) easy to imagine a world in which school fundraisers come in the form of issuing some odd crypto called "Baker Elementary Crypto Coin!" Crypto as the new bake sale.

“Instead of a bake sale, we’ve issued 10,000 $BKR tokens—buy now and help us replace the gym floor!”

You can almost hear the PTA meeting now:

• “Should we mint an NFT of Principal Ramirez doing the Chicken Dance at last year’s talent show?”

• “What if we offer staking rewards in the form of homework passes?”

• “Is anyone else worried that our bake sale is now subject to SEC regulation?”

Neighborhood schools could leapfrog from cookie dough to crypto wallets. It’s like merging Little House on the Blockchain with Silicon Valley.
