Sorry about the quality of the picture.

[Horton]

Remember the rule. You should only accept a Baller Coin from someone you trust and plan to ski with in the future. You might be able to pass one at my house but not a handful

[ozski]

Ok so how do they stack up to the AU $ I guess this an international currency right?

[Horton]

@ozski a Baller Coin is worth a ski ride world wide. No conversion necessary.

[skiray]

How do I get/order some coins?

[GOODESkier]

@Horton how do we get a couple?

[Horton]

Yes yes. Gimmie a day or two...

[Horton]

I swear I will have a page up in a day or so for anyone who wants to purchase Baller Coins

[E_T]

@Horton I DO! rig up that west cost space sling shot and shoot a few to the moon!

[Horton]

@E_T I was just going to send them to your home planet

[Horton]

OK BallerCoins are now for sale. See the bottom left of the forum page.

The first batch is not really big so get them while they are hot.

[Horton]

Wait no the code is wrong.... I will fix it later today

[Horton]

Holy Crap I got it.

[lpskier]

So let me see if I have this straight: Someone gives JH $$ and JH gives that person some Baller Coins (BC). That person then comes to my lake and I have to honor the coin, no questions asked. So I am out the can of gas I otherwise would have received, and JH has, in effect, my gas money. Cheap, too. 12 rides for 20 bucks. $1.66 per set. But I am then free to use the BC I collected for a ski ride somewhere else. How do I convert the BC back to cash? When I convert BC to cash, is there an exchange discount? And what is the exchange rate? Is this going to be successful,and will the cost of BC increase, and therefor should I take a long position on BC now? Or should I short the hell out of it? Or buy futures? Is JH the "Baller Reserve," effectively setting rates, or will this be a free market? Will some sites become "3 BC sites" while other sites are 1 BC sites? Will BC trade at par against the Eruo and USD? Is a ski ride in Europe 1 BC even though skiing in Europe is generally more expensive than in the US? Rossi posts on this site occasionally, as do other pros. Do they have to honor BC? Does Dodd-Frank apply to control the use of BC? Did Bernie Madoff come up with this idea? Lots of questions here. I think we may need some regulations. Lots of regulations.

@lpskier

No. You do not get it.

[Horton]

Remember the rule. You should only accept a Baller Coin from someone you trust and plan to ski with in the future. 

[MattP]

@lpskier see Baller Coins a Ski Ride is Worth a Ski Ride

[Horton]

Just got the first order...

[John Brooks]

@lpskier I think we need a consult with Ben Bernanke since he is out of work. Maybe he could now be the chairman of the Baller Reserve.

[Horton]

The first run is almost sold out. I will ship the first orders in the next day or two and order more.

[Horton]

The first batch is gone gone gone. I will re-order asap

[The_MS]

I hope it doesn't end like the Bit Coin deal going on with MtGox. @Horton just goat a new boat, house and a kid on the way.

[Horton]

@MS I am amazed you know what Mt. Gox is/ was

[kfennell]

Im amazed that bitcoins went from 10,000 BTC/pizza up to $2k per BTC and now back to $560. If only I had mined a few back in the day :( But at least Im not the guy who paid $20M for a pizza.

[The_MS]

I watch TV when I am not on BOS

[Horton]

Second batch of Baller Coins are on order

[RichardDoane]

it seems ridiculous to give @horton money in trade for a coin to give some poor boat owner somewhere, I'm sticking with giving gas or cash, because "nobody rides for free..."

[Horton]

@richarddoane why do I have to keep explaining this. It is simply a fun way to keep track of the rides you trade with the skiers you ski with anyway. If you do not like the idea don't worry about it & accept it.

[RichardDoane]

as long as people realize that they are contributing to @babyhorton 's college fund

[Horton]

@richarddoane no I just about break even but if anyone wants to support the site feel free to donate. Better yet make sure that the next time you get some ski gear you get if from a BallOfSpray sponsor.

[RichardDoane]

I purchase as much as humanly possible from the BOS sponsors, one of which is now @USA_Water_Ski

[Horton]

@ampacdan‌

I sent you one BallerCoin but it came back

[OTF]

I've had a few MIA shipments along with a few returns in the last few months..........,,

[Horton]

Considering what has happened with FTX it looks like BallerCoin was just ahead of it's time

[lpskier]

Yeah, that rip-tow currency was sketchy.
