In this article, we’ll look at five ridiculous cryptocurrencies that actually exist and you may not know about.
1. Potcoin:
According to Investopedia, PotCoin is a cryptocurrency created to meet a banking need in the legal marijuana industry. PotCoin also enables consumers to buy cannabis products anonymously. PotCoin was conceived as a cryptocurrency that facilitates more efficient, secure, and convenient transactions within the legal cannabis sector.
This cryptocurrency was launched by Joel Yaffe and Nick Iverson in January 2014. They previously went by the online pseudonyms Hasoshi, Mr Jones, and Smokemon 514.
Cryptocurrency users can use PotCoin to buy marijuana and other related products anonymously and securely. As a blockchain-powered cryptocurrency, PotCoin is originally based on the source code of Litecoin, another digital currency.
2. Garlicoin:
Founded in 2018, Garlicoin is a memecoin, just like Dogecoin. It is a garlic bread-based cryptocurrency, weird. This cryptocurrency was also forked from Litecoin.
