New Cologne Answers the Question: "What Does a Bitcoin Smell Like?" 61
samzenpus (5) writes "You may not be Satoshi Nakamoto, but thanks to Virginia-based eco-products company Eruditium, you can now smell like him, her, or them. The company claims Bitcologne is "made for peer-to-peer interaction" adding, "It's an aromatic blend of spicy, floral, oak and citrus notes your 'partner' may find it hard to resist initiating a more private transaction.'" A bottle costs about $26 or 0.0608 Bitcoin."

I thought it was "burning" with a side of "getting screwed over." Though not quite as strong in the flavor and smell as government based colognes.

This makes it sound like bitcoins are metric dollars. I prefer the Imperial measurement.

You see, diamonds are not really worth anything, neither are black pearls...but once people started marketing those with other goods that had an established perceived value guess what happened?
Sure, cryptocurrency is not physical so cannot have a smell but if this fragrance is any good it ADDS to the perceived value of bitcoin.
I've seen and heard a lot of criticism of bitcoin for all sorts of reasons but at the end of the day we did once move from bartering apples for goat to coins to the gold standard to currency (Which IS virtual money) & we will move to an all digital economy. Maybe that will be bitcoin.

Most diamonds mined are used in for practical industrial purposes and have value for that reason.

I figured that Bitcoin smelled like black tar heroin and a box of saved roaches with a little bit of human trafficking rolled in.
Honestly Bitcoin is the currency of the drug trade, so it should smell pretty gross.
