Russian Organic Food Guy 'Tokenizes' Himself, Issues His Own Cryptocurrency
This guy is a genius!!! Organic food and cryptocurrency combined in one package, my two favorite things! But not, I won't be buying any because I don't plan on moving to Russia to utilize his services.
Boris Akimov, the founder of Russian organic foods retailer LavkaLavka will launch his own cryptocurrency on the Waves Platform, a blockchain platform developed in Moscow.
"It's a simple idea in principle," he says. "I have certain skills, knowledge and experience, as well as my time -- and that is what will be tokenized." He is one of the creators of Russia's BioCoin, a so-called utility token that gives users discounts on organic foods and locally farmed products of all kinds.
