Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 12/31/18> It’s about time…stick a fork in it.

So today marks...

So today marks the end of 2018 and it couldn’t have come soon enough as far as I am concerned. I’ll even say that I am glad I didn’t get a birthday this year or that would mean we would still have another day to go before this year of 2018 is over.

This year has...

This year has been a disaster as far as the crypto markets are concerned as best I can tell. Luckily for us we have the SMT’s here on steemit and those are saving our bacon when it comes to the value of steem.

What? We don’t? You are kidding me; we don’t have SMT’s yet? Damn.

I’ve been so busy lately I guess I missed that those hadn’t happened. So what is keeping steem up at the high value of $0.37 ? It is $0.37 isn’t it? Or is that something else that I might be missing the mark on? Please; don’t tell me it is really $0.25 USD for one steem.

The good news...

The good news in crypto for me is my hodling (holding) of WangChange. I don’t believe it has dropped one bit since I acquired it earlier in 2018 as winnings from some poker tournament games. I probably should check before making that statement but it wasn’t worth anything when I got it and I doubt it can go lower than nothing, can it?

You know...

You know; I might just try something crazy in 2019 and start my own pseudo crypto currency. I say “pseudo” because it would be backed by the precious substances of salt and pepper. I could go down to the wholesale market and buy a bunch of salt and pepper packets, no better yet, I could look at getting some made with a private label just for us with “Sult” on the salt and “Papper” on the pepper. That way we know that someone isn’t just devaluing the currency by picking up some packets like the ones pictured at the top of this Daily Dose at the McD’s or Jack in the Crack.

Now we need...

Now we need a name for this new crypto currency. How does SNP’s sound for sult and pappers? Maybe it should PKZ’s for packets. I have noticed some crypto’s have gone to using a separate denomination for fractions of their currency and that might be an idea to consider as well. I have seen “bits” used for the fractional amounts and since salt and pepper do have different values I think we might need to go that direction as well.

Should it be...

Should it be 10 sult to 1 papper or should it be 25 or 50 to 1? Ever since the doctors have been saying that salt is not good for you salt hasn’t been in high demand. Trust me; those doctors don’t know all they pretend to know. Especially the young doctors, all they know is what drug to prescribe for what symptom. They have no clue on diagnosing the source of the problem. That hasn’t been taught in medical schools for years; diagnosing the cause of the problem.

I think 10...

I think 10 to 1 is a good ratio, the easier the math the better. So; 10 sults (damn we need two names, one for the sult and one for the papper). Let’s go back to the names; salt has grains so how about GRNZ’s for sult and papper has flakes so FLKZ’s for papper?

I don’t know about the names, we may still have to work on those. I do like the “Z”’s in the name though, the letter Z just doesn’t get enough use in my opinion in the English language.

So, 10 GRNZ's...

So, 10 GRNZ’s will equal 1 FLKZ when this pseudo crypto launches here in 2019. Before I announce any prices and do an ICO I am going to have to do some research, at this point I don’t have a clue on what the price will be to get this new form of physical / pseudo crypto currency packaged. One thing I do know is there is a demand for sult and papper because it is for sale in the grocery stores as I type this, the only difference is they spell it differently.

What? You want to know what type of papper we will be using? Of course it is black papper; and white sult too.

I try to keep things simple and there is nothing more simple than black and white. When you start mixing color in things people get all bent out of shape. Red papper is good, don’t get me wrong, but there are just too many varieties of red pappers. This is hard enough to figure out without all the questions so let’s keep those to a minimum if you will please.

I do know that...

I do know that there won’t be any “air drops” of GRNZ’s or FLKZ’s the last thing I need is someone claiming that we did an air drop and it landed on their steak and ruined it. Besides that, I know this currency will have value; all those folks doing air drops are just hoping that their currency will have some value at some point in time.

Sult n papper has...

Sult n papper has been adding flavor and enhancing taste for years. Even the Romans used sult n papper and there is even a saying people still use today when talking bad about someone. You’ve heard it said, “he isn’t worth a grain of sult”.” Well we aren’t going to get down to individual grains and flakes; we’ll stick with the packets.

You know...

You know, this isn’t as easy as I thought it was going to be, creating a new crypto currency. I wonder if Wally Wang had all these same issues when he was creating his WangChange. I might am going to ask some folks with experience who I know have created their own crypto for advice before proceeding any farther.

I do happen to...

I do happen to know a few of those and thus far really only one of those has actually had his currency show real value and that would be the guy running the poker sites I play on named Tuck Fheman. I think I had better talk to old Tuck before I get any further down this road of starting my own crypto.

I wish you all a very prosperous 2019 and may all your dreams come true. 2018 is over; stick a hard fork in it.
(Oh; sorry, we did that already back in September)

Until next time,
