Lisk

LISK: stands for "long-island serial killer," murdering somewhere between 10 and 16 people over a couple decades of activity.

But that's not the kind of killing we're interested in here. We're more after the kind that goes, "I made a killing in the financial markets today...now I'm buying a yacht."

Which brings us the other Lisk...the name of a cryptocurrency (which would let you buy a used yacht from an anonymous Chechen warlord).

The Lisk currency runs on a open-source blockchain platform, also know as Lisk. The platform gives developers a base for their own blockchain projects. The platform originally launched in 2014, created by Max Kordek and Oliver Beddows. That first iteration was known as "Crypti."

In 2016, Kordek and Beddows forked Crypti into Lisk (which either hurt or felt good, depending on what you assume "forked" means). By late 2017, Lisk (the currency) had a market value of over $1 billion.
