Cacophony4 launches "B-Tricks," the first cryptocurrency designed to help cash-strapped local governments, challenging Symphony3 in public sector finance!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - April 1, 2025
In a groundbreaking move set to revolutionise public sector financing, Symphony3 competitor Cacophony4 recently announced the launch of "B-Tricks" - the world's first cryptocurrency specifically designed for cash-strapped local governments.
As councils worldwide grapple with rate capping and skyrocketing costs, Cacophony4 B-Tricks offers an innovative solution: replacing traditional revenue streams with speculative digital assets featuring cartoon bulldozers and anthropomorphic council chambers.
"We've spent years helping councils digitise their operations, but we realised what they really need is a volatile, unregulated digital currency with a picture of a smiling pothole on it," said John Smith, CEO at Cacophony4, who reportedly came up with the idea after a 72-hour energy drink binge.
Since its stealth launch last week, Cacophony4 B-Tricks has surged an astounding 18,000%, creating instant wealth for early-adopting municipalities. The City of Distoephia has already announced plans to replace their entire roads budget with B-Tricks mining operations in the basement of their administration building.
"We've converted our community centre into a mining facility," said one anonymous council CEO. "The swimming pool is now cooling our servers, but the upside is we've funded three roundabouts and a library extension with a single day's gains. Who needs rates when you have memes?"
Communities worldwide are reportedly mortgaging their town halls to purchase the cryptocurrency, with one small rural council in Western Australia allegedly selling their entire fleet of garbage trucks to "go all in" on B-Tricks.
Even a well-known tech billionaire, Eli Musony, has weighed in on the phenomenon:
"Cacophony4’s B-Tricks is exactly the kind of financial innovation we need in local government. Why fix potholes with tax dollars when you can just create a digital coin with a picture of a pothole wearing sunglasses? This is definitely not going to end badly for anyone involved."
The cryptocurrency features several innovative use cases specifically tailored for local government, including:
-
PotholeSwap: A decentralised exchange where citizens can trade coins to determine which streets get repaired first
-
RateCapDoge: A staking mechanism where citizens can avoid paying rates by solving complex mathematical problems
-
NFT Building Permits: Digital artwork that also somehow functions as planning permission
The whitepaper, hastily written on the back of parking tickets, outlines a "revolutionary tokenomics model" where 30% of coins are reserved for "infrastructure development," 40% for "community engagement," and the remaining 30% for "when this all inevitably collapses and we need to relocate to a non-extradition country."
Early adopting councils have already reported significant benefits, with one mayor claiming they've funded an entire bypass road with "diamond hands and rocket emojis."
Cacophony4's technical team has assured concerned citizens that their blockchain technology is "totally secure," having been tested extensively on a Raspberry Pi in someone's garage over a weekend.
When asked about regulatory concerns, Smith shrugged and said, "The SEC, ASIC, and various financial regulators probably wouldn't approve, but they're all still trying to figure out what NFTs are, so we've got at least six months before anyone stops this gravy train."
For those interested in purchasing Cacophony4’s B-Tricks, the company has set up a special website where credit cards, bank transfers, and "whatever loose change you have in your car" are accepted.
Note: This is an April Fool's joke. Symphony3 does not offer cryptocurrency products, and we strongly advise against replacing sound financial management with speculative digital assets, no matter how cute the logo is.
