π½Real-World Application: Case Study of South Korea's Shitcoins
A practical implementation of this concept is seen in South Korea, where Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technologyβs Professor Cho Jae-weon invented a toilet that converts poop into energy and pays people in digital currency. This "BeeVi toilet" uses a vacuum function to transport the waste to an underground tank where microorganisms break it down into methane, subsequently used for energy. This innovation demonstrates how human waste can be resourcefully used and incentivizes participation through a cryptocurrency called Ggool.
As one Twitter user commented, With Professor Cho Jae-weon's invention, public toilets in metro's could run trains. We're here to give it more economic sense.
