Weird and funny cryptocurrencies
![](data:image/svg+xml;utf-8,<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="1440" height="1440" />)
Who needs them? Why were they created? Some just to laugh, some initially for a "great purpose". In any case, these cryptocurrencies look like a meme today, even if they were not originally intended to be.
For example, [Petro] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petro_(cryptocurrency)) is the second official cryptocurrency of Venezuela, introduced by President Nicolas Maduro himself. According to him, it is backed by oil reserves, gas, gold and diamonds, and is designed to help the country's economy survive under numerous sanctions. There is no confidence in her, however, they bought her at the exit for $ 735 million.
KodakCoin is a coin of the famous Kodak company. She, according to the company's idea, can be paid to photographers for doing work. The idea didn't take off, however.
PotCoin was created as part of a decentralized banking infrastructure for the legal (and no other) marijuana market. You can "treat" by paying with crypto.
Dentacoin - is designed to help members of the dentistry profession build their own blockchain community with secure transactions, access to databases and even services. Non-dentists are asked not to disturb.
TrumpCoin - although it is not directly associated with the former US President, the site says that it is "integrated into Donald Trump's agenda" and helps "in funding projects both domestically and around world”, including infrastructure, veterans and border security.
There are a lot of such funny and not very currencies that every second person created in the 16-20s. If you are interested, I can tell you at least a dozen more similar projects, and maybe even dwell on a particular coin in more detail.
