Isto faz-me lembrar que por volta de 1983 as conservas de sardinha transformaram-se numa espécie de moeda nalguns subúrbios de Portimão - as fábricas de conserva (que pouco depois acabariam por fechar) começaram à pagar às operárias em latas de conserva em vez de em escudos.
Crypto And Sardines Combine To Create An Investment Opportunit, por Frances Coppola:
Hot on the heels of the ill-fated Bananacoin (remember that?) comes another token linked to the price of a foodstuff. Yesterday, the crypto world was rocked by the announcement of an Initial Sardine Coin Offering. Specifically, a Vintage 2020 Sardine Coin, known as SARD2020. (...)Ver também: O padrão-carapau
But issuing a stablecoin pegged to vintage sardines is not as silly as it sounds. It is a lot more credible than pegging a cryptocurrency to bananas, though this is a pretty low bar. Sardines are not only delicious, they can be valuable. Canned sardines that have been aged under controlled conditions are prized for their “mellower flavor, which after years of turning becomes more subtle and nuanced, with a soft, plump texture that probably comes from the tiny bones in the fish breaking down over time.” Because of this, they command a premium price. In 2013, one brave individual bought a 32-year-old can of sardines for $53: the original price of the can was probably less than a dollar.
