Does anyone remember Epik Bucks?
Elegantly avoiding the term “dollars”, the Epik Bucks were the coin du jour for Epik’s store-building costs, participating in the Epik conference and for trading domains.
Masterbucks to the rescue!
The test was met with great excitement by the hardcore Epik acolytes but ultimately, it failed.
Now Epik is back, presumably wanting to go after the very successful Bitcoin business model, and they issued the Masterbucks.
The concept is the same: earn Masterbucks while you perform social tasks such as blogging and commenting, then you can exchange those virtual “bucks” on 8,000 Epik stores.
It’s not a bad idea, if only those stores actually existed.
The Masterbucks store contains very few points of purchase of goods for your Masterbucks, but assuming that you are masterbucking a lot you might enjoy a ‘happy ending’ at a Spa. Unfortunately, it only has some “lorem ipsum” copy for the time being.
