Cannabis Vape Blends Blockchain and Bitcoin Mining Claims, Gets Roasted on 4/20

A new vape product, Gudtrip by Puffpaw, claims users can earn Bitcoin, Gudtrip Points and VAPE tokens while vaping and even advertises a Bitcoin-mining feature. The marketing lacks technical details and verifiable payout data, prompting social-media ridicule and criticism from addiction experts who warn crypto incentives could worsen vaping behavior. The founder’s offhand comment about shorting the product amplified skepticism. For markets, the episode is more reputational than price-moving for Bitcoin: it highlights the risk of gimmicky crypto marketing that could invite regulatory scrutiny, harm consumer trust in token-reward schemes, and raise questions about claims linking everyday devices to crypto mining and rewards.
