Dennis Rodman is returning to North Korea as a diplomat sponsored by a marijuana currency

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

International diplomacy between the United States and North Korea has been handed over to Dennis Rodman and sponsored by a cryptocurrency for weed, because 2017 is weird as hell. Overnight Rodman took a flight to Pyongyang to meet with Kim Jong Un and the following video was posted by PotCoin to explain his mission.

“He has the unique, amazing relationship between both President Trump and Marshall Kim Jong Un. He is the only man to have a relationship and be friends with both people — and he’s going there tomorrow to try and bridge the gap and bring peace and dialog between both nations.”

The trip is being pitched as a peace mission, but really it’s a marketing ploy by PotCoin to get more recognition. So far it’s working. The currency has seen its value rise from 10 cents before the announcement to 14 cents. PotCoin was created as an anonymous currency for the marijuana industry. The company’s mission statement reads:

“PotCoin was designed to empower, secure and facilitate the legal cannabis community’s transactions by creating a unique crypto currency for this thriving industry. PotCoin removes the need for cash transactions and encourages buying through consumer incentives. PotCoin as a digital currency is an alternative payment network for cannabis users, merchants and industry professionals. The PotCoin network allows cannabis enthusiasts to interact, transact, communicate and grow together.”

And now Dennis Rodman is trying to broker peace using their funding. Somehow this isn’t even in the top 10 of bizarre stuff that has happened this year.
