Russian native and entrepreneur Dmitry Troitsky has filed for trademark patents to develop three vodka brands called “Bitcoin,”(Bitcoin) “ Ethereum,” (ETH/USD) and “Ethereum Classic,” (ETC/USD) Bitcoin News reported.
The Ekaterinburg-based businessman hopes to create a high-quality vodka line named after a few well-known cryptocurrencies and believes the names will attract more attention to the products.
“I wanted to use the names of cryptocurrencies when issuing my goods in the 33rd class of the international classification of goods and services (alcoholic beverages, except beer), and these three names are the most top-notch,” Troitsky said
The businessman said he can’t say how the drinks will look and when they will be released, but is pretty sure that “vodka can be useful.”
“Try to imagine the situation at the table, and you will understand that the Bitcoin vodka is rather a joke of comic quality,” Troitsky details. “However, with a good amount of legal support and sufficient resources, it will be possible to achieve commercial success.”
Troitsky’s vodka line will be more of a novel concept or gift product, the creator details but with enough push in Russia, he believes the beverages could eventually obtain commercial success.
