In the world of digital cryptocurrencies, besides ICO projects bent on capturing money, there are quite a few amusing virtual coins in the world that exist for the purpose of being funny. Next we will share 8 of the most bizarre virtual coins for you.
1. Dog Coin (DOGE)
In 2013, Billy Marcus and Jackson Palmer, two people created a dog coin in a half-joking manner. In just a few weeks, this virtual coin, whose main function is to offer rewards, surprisingly became a hit and grew from a casual joke to one of the Internet’s not-to-be-underestimated virtual currencies. In addition, Dogcoin is based on the Scrypt algorithm, making the transaction process more convenient than Bitcoin, with a confirmation time of one minute for Dogcoin compared to 10 minutes for Bitcoin. It takes only 1 minute to confirm a dogcoin, while bitcoin takes 10 minutes. Moreover, dogcoin has more quantity, low price, transfer news speed, suitable for network reward, etc., which is more convenient for the psychological needs of the public and makes it more convenient for the development of common people. Unlike other cryptocurrencies that compete with each other that limit the total amount, there is virtually no limit to how many dogcoins can be generated, and its total is said to be set at 200 billion.
This means that dogcoins, while unlikely to increase in value as much as other virtual coins, have nevertheless been successful as an online payment system that is used to reward great content on sites like Reddit.
Coupled with some high-profile charity events, such as helping the Jamaican bobsled team at the Sochi Winter Olympics, Dogcoin has gained immense popularity with its unique positioning, as well as the prevailing culture of tipping in Western society.
2.Unobtanium (UNO)
In the movie “Avatar”, “Unobtanium” is described as a rare room temperature superconductor with a strange magnetic field, and under the magnetic field of Pandora, this spectacular sight of a giant rock floating in the air is created.Unobtanium coin is created based on this movie, and it is also set to be a very rare virtual coin.Uno is a unique low-inflation, scarce, fair release and proof-of-work cryptocurrency assigned the SHA256 algorithm. Only 250,000 Uno will be mined over the next 300 years. uno and bitcoin are mixed and mined to be able to form a secure and 3 times faster than bitcoin high difficulty blockchain.
Uno is not only rare because of the small number of coins, but also because of its fair release and distribution. uno has no pre-mining, releases are pre-announced in the bitcoin forums and are uncontested and fair, and the first 1000 blocks are low reward, providing miners with time to configure their mining setups. It had no proof-of-stake inflation. uno was not released hidden or covertly.A few years after its release, Unobtanium is still a very collectible virtual coin accepted by merchants, traded on top cryptocurrency exchanges and offering a wide range of services. uno has an active and experienced community, it is widely known as a friendly and welcoming community for newcomers.The Unobtanium market itself is the “platinum of bitcoin”, “something to hold for the long term, just like precious metals”.
The only serious virtual coin on the list – the petromoneda, officially issued by Venezuela – is also the only official government virtual currency. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro unveiled the “petromoneda” cryptocurrency last December to “advance monetary sovereignty” and open up “new forms of international new forms of international financing”.
On the surface, Venezuela’s oil, gold and diamond reserves support oil, but skepticism about oil is near universal. Further hyperinflation of the Venezuelan currency, the bolivar, is the direct cause of this virtual currency. But it seems difficult for Venezuela to make a comeback with Petrocoin, as the country’s National Assembly recently announced that it considers the country’s oil industry-backed cryptocurrency, Petrocoin (PTR), to be unconstitutional.
Some experts believe that PTR is nothing more than a sophisticated money laundering scheme that is used by the rich and powerful to smuggle money out of Venezuela’s imploding economy.
4. Trumpcoin (TRUMP)
As a man who started an internet craze during the US presidency, it should come as no surprise that a digital currency named after Donald Trump (Donald Trump). In his own words, the ultimate goal of Trumpcoin is “to support President Trump and his powerful vision to make America great again.
After seeing Donald’s success in the White House, Trump’s Trump Patriots have promised to continue to include themselves in President Trump’s agenda. Of the 6 million available Trump coins, 200,000 have been set aside for the Trump administration until the currency reaches “considerable value” – as even billionaire politicians can use a small cash injection.
5. Putin Coin (PUT)
Since there is already a Trump coin, of course, there is no shortage of U.S. nemesis, Russian leader Vladimir Putin, and Putin’s coin certainly exists. The creators of Putin Coin don’t like Bush – in their words, the virtual coin is “a tribute to the people and president of one of the largest and greatest countries in the world: Russia!” In fact, Putincoin is just one of several cryptocurrencies dedicated to the Russian leader: Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.
There is also the Putin Classic Coin (PUTIC), although it operates more like a digital “commemorative coin” than a practical cryptocurrency. The official PUTIC forum insists: “It’s worth keeping in your wallet.”
6 . Useless Ether (UET)
UET claims to be “the most 100% honest ethereum ICO project in the world”. The logo on the useless ethereum token website is a middle finger to the buyer. The website directly states, “Seriously, don’t buy these tokens; you’re giving away internet money to random people who will take it and use it to spend it. It could be electronics, honestly. Maybe even a big screen TV.”
“Seriously, don’t buy these coins.” Despite the numerous warnings issued by the promoters of useless ethereum, buyers have flocked to the coin, whose total value was once as high as $350,000 in the tier. the current price of $0.04490 per token is up more than 240 percent over the past three months, compared with a 70 percent rise in bitcoin over the same period, according to CoinDesk.
7. Mooncoin (MOON)
Like many successful cryptocurrencies, Mooncoin uses gimmicky hype – it limits its total coin supply based on the average distance between the Earth and the moon. Designed with a focus on ease of use and transparency, this product is designed for micropayments.
Low transaction costs and blocking times, combined with a large supply of coins, make mining Mooncoin much easier than other digital currencies. And that’s not all – the creators of Mooncoin are also responsible for developing MoonWord, a free programming language, and SmartLikes, a way to get “likes” online using Mooncoin.
Interestingly enough, there is indeed a town called Mooncoin in County Kilkenny, Ireland.
8 Coinye
Coinye came and went very quickly.

By January 14 – just a week after its release – Coinye had to be taken down.
“I’ve never been sued before, let alone by a top star,” recalls Coinye developer Harry Willis. “We didn’t win, but we spent thousands of dollars of Mr. West’s legal fees, which was a great feeling.
