If former basketball star and de facto diplomat Dennis Rodman travels to Singapore next week for a summit between North Korea and the United States, a cryptocurrency company that lets you buy marijuana may be footing the bill.

Rodman's agent confirmed his interest in the Singapore trip to the Washington Post, saying he would provide "moral support" to President Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un.

The former Chicago Bulls player's past trips to North Korea have been paid for by the cryptocurrency company. During his 2017 trip, Rodman was photographed wearing a PotCoin T-shirt and baseball cap, sending the cryptocurrency up more than 90 percent from the previous day. It rose roughly 5 percent Thursday, trading near 10 cents, according to CoinMarketCap.com.
