Ask HN: John Wick's Gold Coins on Blockchain
I’m not sure if it’s even possible, but I’ve been toying with the idea of creating a "gold coin" economy like the one in John Wick using blockchain tech.
In the movie, one coin pays for any service, from cleaning up a mess to getting specialized equipment. So, how could this work in the crypto world?
Some thoughts:
Universal Value: Each gold coin has the same value regardless of the service provided, whether it's hiring an assassin, getting medical help, or using specialized facilities.
Exclusivity & Trust: The coins are only used by members of the secret society, representing trust and membership within this underworld. Possession of a coin implies you're part of the network.
No Direct Monetary Equivalent: The coins don’t have a direct correlation to any real-world currency.
If anyone has ideas on how to make this a reality or any related projects you've seen, feel free to share! And if you'd rather not discuss it publicly, shoot me an email at coin@shivamshinde.com
