If there’s one new Twitter account you should follow today, it’s Fifty Shades of Blockchain, or #blockshade, created by Australian Jackson Palmer.
You’ll recognize that name as the founder of Dogecoin. Palmer’s new pet project, Fifty Shades of Blockchain, is actually a Twitter bot that creates mashups of random phrases from the infamous Fifty Shades of Grey novel by E.L. James and terms from cryptocurrency whitepapers and blockchain documentation.
The result? An amusingly weird combination of innuendo and nonsense.
That Palmer created such a project is not that surprising at all. Dogecoin has always had an aura of fun around it, epitomized by its mascot, Doge.
If you need a break from reading doomsday prophecies about cryptocurrency or news about stifling regulatory developments, this Twitter feed will give you just what you need.
See for yourself. Take a look at some of its most popular tweets.
I groan… how can I resist him when he’s pre-occupied with the USD value.

Mr. Grey who grins back at him blankly, grasping for a decentralized solution.
