Although it’s a fairly young account, @blockshade — better known as Fifty Shades of Blockchain — already has some 2700 followers, enthralled by 22 tweets of blockchain-fueled smut.

Nevertheless, for those who love some good blockchain roleplay, sit back and enjoy these five zingers.
“Anastasia, you should carefully weigh the risks, costs, and benefits of Ethereum smart contracts”

Mr. Grey who grins back at him blankly, grasping for a decentralized solution.

I groan… how can I resist him when he’s pre-occupied with the USD value.

We finished packing my room, I feel so weak, but I don’t think of the network, data privacy and user experience

A megabyte of internal struggle.
