Which one of you savages made this?

Gudtrip is a cannabis vape pen from blockchain hardware manufacturer Puffpaw that is touting its ability to allow consumers to earn bitcoin while they smoke weed. Each of the company’s individual vape pen products has $2-3 worth of bitcoin attached to it, which can be redeemed via a QR code or NFC connection within the company’s associated mobile app. While Gudtrip has been criticized for effectively gamifying smoking marijuana, they claim that there is no direct reward tied to hitting the vape pen and seemingly have changed language on their website that previously claimed “Every hit earns crypto.”

Tse wrote that the product records puff-seconds for user awareness only and that there is no financial reward of any kind tied to consumption. He emphasized that the bitcoin loyalty payment is issued upfront to every customer and is not scaled to, gated by, or associated with the level, frequency, or duration of use.

Shitcoin incoming

With all that said, reporting from DL News has indicated Puffpaw did at one point explicitly tell customers that a token would be launched in the future in a now-deleted post on X. Additionally, reward points in crypto-related apps are oftentimes eventually converted to crypto tokens with real monetary value. Previous reporting from Protos also indicates Gudtrip previously said rewards would be made via a token known as VAPE.
