#PunkMoney is a promise currency anyone can create, transfer and redeem on Twitter.

Here’s an example:

“@Bob I promise to buy you a beer. #PunkMoney” – @Sally

#PunkMoney

#PunkMoney

There are also optional rules for specifying an expiry and making a promise non-transferable:

“@Bob I promise to buy you a beer. Expires in 1 week. NT. #PunkMoney”

– @Sally

This syntax makes @Sally’s syntax a valid #PunkMoney statement.

What next?

Finally, let’s imagine that Bob doesn’t have time to go for a beer with Sally this week.

Instead, he suggests Sally take their mutual friend Alice out for a beer, instead.

He can do this by transfering the original promise to Alice, by replying to Sally’s original promise:

“@Sally transfer @Alice #PunkMoney” – Bob

Sally is now the bearer of Alice’s promise to buy a beer.
