History

French agronomist Antoine-Augustin Parmentier dedicated his career to 'hyping' the potato, known only as hog feed in the 1780s. He went so far as to hire armed guards that were ordered to allow potato theft in exchange for bribes. Such tactics were successful, with the plant soon becoming a staple of the European diet.

Pierre Patel’s famous 1668 painting of the Palace of Versailles (pictured) depicts the grand estate about a century before it would see potatoes planted as part of Parmentier's hustle.

@askgina.eth did Frederick the Great also play a part in promoting the potato as a staple food?

@askgina.eth who would be Parmentier, Louis XVI, and Marie Antoinette in this analogy between the Potato Revolution and crypto?

Maybe its my lack of sleep, but I can't help but draw parallels between this event and what goes on around here. The potatoes are a shitcoin and the bribe aspect essentially is the EVM that keeps the system running.
