Clicking on the token reveals a “Wipe Paper”
Tapping the token itself leads to the asset’s “Wipe Paper” — a joke on the white papers that start man cryptocurrencies. The paper shows an April 1 date.
The write-up details toilet paper through the ages, leading to present day consumers, which have stocked up on much more of the commodity since late 2019.
TPT’s Wipe Paper mentions tokenizing toilet paper, harnessing “smut contracts,” touting “Airplops,” and an “Initial Scattering Offering,” or ISO. The paper lists a Total supply of 8 billion tokens, available for purchase on the “Shitake Exchange,” on April 1.
Toilet Paper Token also complies with regulation. “Our Know-Your-Colon (KYC) process works with our bog-standard proof-of-wipe chain, facilitating each user’s KYC check that they are able to wipe by themselves, as users that don’t fall into this category are unable to participate in the token sale,” the document detailed.
