South Korean Professor Turning Poop To Crypto

Something extraordinary happened in the crypto industry recently; a professor in South Korea, Cho Jae-Weon, has found a way to convert poop to cryptocurrencies.

An average human passes out excrement weighing 500g daily. Therefore, he invented a toilet that can convert this waste into 50 liters of Biogas, generating 0.5Kwh of energy.

The toilet is linked to an underground facility where the excrement is converted to the needed materials.

 This energy from human waste can power a building and all its appliances.

Jae-Won currently works at UNIST (Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology), one of the top technological institutes in the country.

Cho’s years of experience and additional research as an environmental technologist made him devise a means to put human excrement to use.

He even said if we think outside the box, human waste is highly rich in ingredients to generate energy.

All who use this toilet earn 10 Ggool, a digital asset and literal shit coin devised by Jae-Won daily.

 This coin is precious for campus students because they can easily use it to purchase groceries and some other essentials.

All they need to do is go to a shop, pick up what they want to buy, and scan a QR code to pay with the token.

Feces are something we regard as disgusting, but with this invention, it’s clear that they are material of real value.

Many students at UNIST are grateful for this invention, and one of them, a postgraduate, shared the same sentiments.

 He formerly viewed feces as dirty, but now he views them as precious.

Finally, this recent invention shows that science and technology have come a long way and have advanced greatly.

His primary focus is on technical analysis (crypto is, obviously, *not* crypto without the twirls of price action), the magic of DeFi, and NFTs. He is specifically training his eyes and effort on DeFi—and how the tech is changing investment, opening up opportunities for everyone—and the possibilities of NFTs.
