The ‘Opucoin’

by | Sep 30, 2018

British Beauty Council has read a fascinating report in Fashionista about how one beauty startup is taking advantage of bitcoin currency to get off the ground: Opu Labs is proposing to analyse your skin and pay you bitcoin – their own currency ‘opucoin’ to be precise – for the privilege.
