Here at last, are the BARDO BUCKS I promised you for the BardoMania Game, which can be played tabletop, multiplayer online and of course personal, meaning Real World Role Playing Game, or RWRPG. Claude designed them, and they are intentionally bare and simple, easy to read and easy on the eye.
A Bardo Buck needn’t be complex, or involve fancy printing processes, or special paper or embedded holographs or a special magnetic ink, or any of that protective stuff you need for certificates and awards and deeds and dollar bills.
It’s not the engraving of the thing that makes it copy-resistant, which is the best you can hope for.
Nothing is copy-proof, if you have the entire weight of the government behind you, for instance. But it’s definitely resistant to forgery and counterfeiting, as is all pencil and pen signed art. Sculpture is signed in the wax, so it doesn’t count as hand-signed.
Nope, we don’t need no stinkin’ badgers. Our flash drive’s integritiy is 100% protected by the hand-signed authentication and the numbering that appears on the back of every card.
Each and every USB flash drive in my NFT series is both flat-signed and hand-numbered by the artist or IDHHB, Inc. administrator.
My newest and latest “Bardo Bucks CRYPTO USB NFT GorbyTokens” are signed and numbered flash drives that look and feel like fat credit cards, and spend in-game just like the Real Thing, whatever that means to you.
I don’t keep track of which planet you came from. All I want are the facts, ma’am.
Now, I could do something terrific — I could produce 1,000 BB 1.00 Cards, which would reduce the cost down to almost nothing!
Then I could sell them for U.S. $10.00, instead of U.S. $39.00, and that would make them really super-collectible, and much easier to obtain!
I would calculate and trade the higher denominations according to what the BB $1.00 is selling for, so if, for instance, a Bardo Buck were selling currently at $10.00, then a Fiver would be U.S. $50.00 and could be traded for five ones, yes?
My CRYPTO USB NFT GorbyTokens are works of art that are currently for sale for anywhere from BB 4.00 amounting to about U.S. $160.00, and the prices for the artwork could of course either go up from here, or down, or stay the same.
It all depends on the popularity of the artist.
I didn’t think that fractions of a Bardo Buck would be appreciated, so there’s no token that’s less than one Bardo Buck, or BB 1.00, and most of my hardware NFTs are priced at U.S. $39.00, at the moment, but that could radically change upon whim and whimsy.
My Fine Art GorbyTokens can be traded for Bardo Bucks. They trade at whatever rate on which the trading parties can agree, and only with Bardo Bucks.
Get it?
Of course that means the buyer has to buy Bardo Bucks to get Bardo Art, see? That might make Bardo Bucks more popular or less popular or totally uninteresting.
I would venture to guess that most folks are at this point totally unimpressed.
Yes, at this moment the BB 1.00 Bardo Bucks are HERE and ready to buy, BUT WAIT!!!
Hey,, If I get PAID orders for 1,000 or more, the price can be a mere ten dollars for one Bardo Buck and even I could afford one of those!
Keep in mind that this is not a simple paper thingy.
It’s a flash drive that’s made into a wallet card containing unspecified software, and not only that — each and every one of them is hand-signed!
Not a pleasant prospect for my very elderly hands these days, but I’m happily willing to sign as many as you want to order. I do recommend that you work on expanding the player population, the more the merrier!
Again, keep in mind that these NFT GorbyTokens are Works of Art. and that it’s the signature and number of limitation that guarantees their non-fungibility, not some blockchain software gimmick.
And wow, if I am somehow enabled by a million-dollar donation to order 100,000 or more units, which means we need to pre-sell that many units before we place the order — your price could down to about U.S. $7.00, at least until we run out.
I’d put the money up in a heartbeat, but I’m beyond retired.
It’s the kind of thing I’d have definitely done when I was in my twenties, when I had the money to spend, and the energy to run my own personal Role Playing Government, running my own personal mint, none of which you’ll find in the Bardo.
There are a lot of things that are not in the Bardo, but Bardo Bucks isn’t one of them. They exist for real and they can be used to get out of jail free.
The higher denominations can be converted up and down by trading a five for five ones, but that means a BB 1,000.00 token, illustrated below, would trade for one thousand BB 1.00 tokens, which is about one truck-full of flash drives, if I calculate correctly.
Higher denomination tokens are fine with me — I’m already prepared for the rush, as you can easily see for yourself — below:
Speaking of Shires, I’m off now to complete the Shire Walk for the new upgrade in the Godd™ Particle, which is due to go out to our production team any day now. I’ve replaced the entire ground area throughout, and it’s breaking up on me, but don’t worry, I’ll find the bug — I always do.
Hang in, help is on the way!!!
See You At The Top!!!
