Bacoin’s Marketing Strategy Aimed at Mocking the Cryptocurrency Industry

As the name suggests, Bacoin is a cryptocurrency specifically designed for the bacon industry, with one Bacoin valued at around 11 strips of real bacon.

It appears that the ultimate decision to enter Bitcoin trading has been greenlighted by the bank’s board of directors.
