The new $TWINKcoin is a play on the current cryptocurrency frenzy and features coin-shaped cakes. The cakes are similar to Twinkies in composition and flavor — featuring a vanilla sponge cake exterior and crème-filled interior — but have been made in a disc shape to mimic the shape of an enlarged coin. The new $TWINKcoin snack cakes will be available at Walmart stores starting at the end of June for a limited time. They are distributed in boxes of 10 individually wrapped cakes at the suggested retail price of $3.49. http://www...s-debuts-twinkcoin-snack-cakes As far as I can tell, this isn't satire. |

Basically you're saying to own the $TWINKcoins under your bed and not hold them in a custody service for the $TWINKcoins yield ;) It's less for transparency and more for reducing counterparty risk, is the only slip up. But I'll give you a B+ (although that's nice because I should dock you for the cryptobro term, much cringe, pls never use again). |

It's a paradigm shift towards sustainable no-lose wealth creation, and I've already invested! Wife: <obviously in her head thinking I bought into a pyramid scheme or something> Me: Whip out box of twinkcoin Add some dramatic flair in the middle |
