I was about to write this as the last verse of my last Sunday haiku:

...
200 proof soon!

And then I wondered. Does it actually exist? Googling (Wikipedia) revealed that the highest possible proof is 175, which corresponds to 100% alcohol content.

Too many syllables for the haiku, too low a price for BTC/USD... $175k is for ants. Got to find another metric soon. One that goes to millions. Sorry Phil.

Edit: according to Gemini, there exists a beverage called Spirytus vodka, which is a rectified spirit that comes in at 192 proof. Also, Gemini claims that 100% alcohol content corresponds to 200 proof. Perhaps I should have included the verse after all. But still, $200k is way too low.

Edit 2: in the US, proof = 2 x alcohol content percentage (by volume, a.k.a. % ABV). In the UK, proof = 1.75 x % ABV. Makes more sense now.
