For most of human history, the reward for making someone laugh has been measured in the pure, selfless gratification of granting pleasure to a fellow sentient being. In the modern age of mass media, an entire industry of profiting off of humor has arisen. From stand-up comedians, to movies, to books and broadway shows, humor is an enormous industry. But where there is money, there is trouble.
As rival gangs of clown mobs and joke peddlers have taken over the streets, there are few safe places left to tell a simple knock-knock joke or laugh at a friend's pratfall. Entire countries have outlawed humor in an effort to control the humor trade. Although no one in Germany noticed anything different, other countries have been decimated by the loss.
With the advent of blockchain technology and decentralized trustless systems, the leader of the infamous Chortle Cartel, The Clown Boss Himself, Hilarlos The Hysterical, saw an enormous opportunity. In one of his notorious fits of hystericalness, The Clown Boss, declared "If the blockchain is going to make our regular shenanigans impossible, we need to trade in our rubber chickens for an online course in ethereum smart contracts'. He immediately rolled up his ruffled sleeves and built the world's first and only crypto-token for humor. Other than a monetary percentage of all human laughter till the end of time, he expects nothing in return. All praise The Boss Clown!
Cryptickles are Humor Assets made up of 1 billion fungible tokens that can be bought, sold and traded.
Yes
You make them. Goto the app and choose "create" from the upper left dropdown menu. You will need TICKLE token credits on the system to create Cryptickles.
We’re going to do you a favor and act like you didn’t ask this question.
The Boss Clown will be minting new TICKLE tokens every time he thinks the world is getting too serious. He will alway be acquiring Cryptickles that vibrate at the same frequency as his belly laughs. If you have one that he is interested in, congratulations. His collection will be on display at The Boss Clown’s International Humor Collection And Laughatorium, located everywhere.
Cryptickles that people think are funny are more valuable. How is this determined? In a very simple, trustless, decentralized process known as “Proof Of Laugh”. If a Cryptickle generates a lot of activity it's associated tokens will probably go up on their bonding curve. At the same time, a percentage of the TICKLE tokens a Cryptickle brings in goto the token holders of that asset. WARNING: Fake laughing is forbidden and could result in a personal visit from The Boss Clown's made guy: Tony Shenanigans. Tony can detect a fake laugh from a mile away and The Boss Clown doesn’t take lightly to counterfeit joy. There is no faking “Proof Of Laugh”. Keep it real people.
In the beginning, there was no laughter. This was a dark period in Cryptickle history. Without any Tickle in existence, the humor economy simply did not exist. On Oct 3th, 2024 an anonymous (not to himself) user created a Cryptickle entitled "Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road?". From this point on, people began visiting app.cryptickles.com, laughing at jokes and creating their own Cryptickles. Their actions resulted in the the TICKLE token economy and the birth of the humor marketplace. The rest is history and now it's difficult to imagine what life was like before the commoditization of humor. Oh, and sorry about that part.
Cryptickles are the actual assets that you see (pictures, audio, video, games, etc...). TICKLE tokens are fungible tokens that are used to buy tokens of the Cryptickles you believe in and for other things on the platform. You can have TICKLE tokens in your crypto wallet (like Metamask or Coinbase Wallet) but you can also have TICKLE credits on the platform for easy usage of AI generation systems, creating your own Cryptickles and more.
No joke. Radio.
