[–] anonemouse145 8y ago ↗ The idiocy is so delicious, I need a bigger spoon.Were going to back up crypto currency, with petroleum dollars. Because mah gold standard.(Orson Welles clapping gif)
[–] Mindcraft 8y ago ↗ The fact that the first legally compliant cryptocurrency is backed by oil reserves says a lot.

[–] nnq 8y ago ↗ The PetroDollar is so old school... let's welcome OilCoin instead!(In all seriousness, I hope this is not a trend that takes on... having war-tied-value criptocurrencies could only lead to open betting on wars!)
