https://gizmodo.com/why-mathematicians-are-hoarding-this-special-type-of-ja-1711008881 It is not Nakamoto, but the Hagoromo company, that went out of business and made the best chalk EVER! Now professors everywhere are hoarding the supply... Hagoromo chalk is the shit! It is the Bitcoin of chalks. And unlike Bitcoin, they don't make it anymore! Folks, you heard it first. It will go to the Moon!!!! And be aware of copycat chalkforks! A new company took over the production process but: ". A company rep said the manufacturing process is slightly different, but assured me that customers should expect the same high quality. " Sure, just like Bitcoin Cash is not Bitcoin...
Thanks. I just ordered a box of their colored chalk on Amazon to give to a friend who maintains the chalk board at my neighborhood bar. Maybe I should have tried to buy the entire inventory to hawk on Ebay a year from now.
You know what you get when a chalk piece is down to a nub? A line of chalk. You know what you get when a dry-erase marker is halfway done? Shit. You get *shit.*
An Amazon review: Maybe not the Rolls Royce of chalk but still, like, a really dope Lexus. "This is excellent chalk. If you, like me, hate the squeaks and cracks of Prang and Crayola then splurge a little. I've used Hagoromo chalk for many years. I was told that the company shut down and stopped producing new chalk. For a while the price had skyrocketed but this was closer to the old price. I don't know if they changed their minds or if they sold the name to another company or if there's another explanation. I can say that this chalk is at least a good approximation of what I'd used for years. It is noticeably different and, in my opinion, markedly worse but it's still excellent chalk." The last sentence sounds like a Bitcoin Cash advertisement. Note: As long as cryptos go, I prefer Bitcoin Cash to Bitcoin for usability.
