If you think cryptocurrencies can be strange now, you have no idea how far down the rabbit hole goes.

10. Garlicoin

Garlicoin is just one in a long series of coins spawned from memes maybe taken too far. Born on Reddit when user “DigitalizedOrange” created a post titled “If this post gets 30,000 upvotes, I will make a garlic bread cryptocurrency called garlicoin”, Garlicoin immediately shot up in popularity. Whether it was the internet’s love of memes, or their love of garlic bread, what started as a joke is now taken as terrifyingly legitimate in the crypto market.

9. Dogecoin

The original memecoin, Dogecoin was initially created as a parody of cryptocurrency. And as these stories go, Dogecoin is now of course one of the most successful crypto coins ever created, with over 110 billion coins mined. Branded with an adorable Shiba Inu, Dogecoin is a monument to the unpredictability of cryptocurrency and the internet’s unending devotion to memes.

8. Coinye

Originally “Coinye West” because subtlety is dead, this is one instance of a memecoin actually failing before it ever truly started. With a logo depicting Kanye West as a fish in reference to his South Park parody, this coin unsurprisingly had no official ties to the renowned rapper. Thus, Coinye quickly found itself in the midst of a trademark infringement lawsuit, and was soon abandoned. Coinye may have died before it could live, but it did serve to keep alive Kanye West’s infamous inability to take a joke.

7. Political Coins

If you thought you could escape the endless barrage of political controversy by hiding in the crypto market, think again. While there are a number of political crypto coins from all around the world, one of the most famous is obviously TrumpCoin. With the currency itself even styled with Trump’s infamous combover, all proceeds go towards affiliated Trump projects and campaigns.

Of course, Trump can’t go anywhere without his buddy Putin, so naturally there’s a PutinCoin too. In fact, there’s two. Putin Classic is also a thing because sure, why not?

6. Unobtanium

Unobtanium prides itself on being the rarest cryptocurrency out there. Named after the fictional term for exceedingly rare minerals, Unobtanium’s goal is to be “the platinum to Bitcoin’s gold.” With only 250,000 available tokens to be mined over the next 300 years, this claim stands up to the test of time. Despite this, you can still buy Unobtanium for as low as $130.

5. Potcoin

It’s not surprising there’s a cannabis-themed cryptocurrency in a market filled with industry-specific coins. What is surprising, however, is the number of charities and fundraisers the crypto-coin has benefited. And one particularly notable campaign actually supported a humanitarian trip… to fly Dennis Rodman to North Korea. It’s genuinely heartwarming to see online stoners giving back to the global community.

4. Whoppercoin

Speaking of industry-specific coins, even Burger King has gotten in on the cryptocurrency craze. The Whoppercoin has been distributed to all purchasers of the trademark Whopper burger — in Russia that is. Though it may not have made a huge splash in the crypto market itself, the Whoppercoin is nonetheless a crucial step towards standardizing industry coins.

3. Cthulhu Offerings

On the complete opposite spectrum of industry-forwarding coins, are Cthulhu Offerings. Based on the H.P. Lovecraft science-fiction lore, this crypto coin is lauded as an offering to the great and terrible elder god, Cthulhu. Despite the ominous cult wrapping, Cthulhu Tokens have failed to make a name for themselves in the market. Maybe The Great Old One should have been worshipped a little more devoutly…

2. Bitcoiin

No, that’s not a typo. There’s been a lot of cryptocurrencies attempting to be the “next generation” of Bitcoin, even capitalizing on the name, including Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, and most hilariously named, Bitcoiin. While it’s intentions were noble, to provide an even better service than Bitcoin, Bitcoiin itself never took off. Perhaps it’s because Google just autocorrects it to “Bitcoin” when you search for it, or because phonetically they’re identical anyway. Oh well, they had Steven Segal as a spokesperson for a while, so that’s a pretty cool legacy to leave behind.

Ethereum Classic… Classic

You don’t get to 500 million tokens without making a few enemies. Like all businesses, cryptocurrency is no stranger to shenanigans, including Ethereum. Despite being one of the most popular names in crypto, some of the original Ethereum creators eventually split off to create their own version, Ethereum Classic. And now putting even Coke to shame, this too was split off to form an additional Ethereum Classic Classic. And that’s just classic.

So yeah, there’s a lot of weird, surprising, and downright hilarious cryptocurrencies. The sheer abundance of oddities out there only makes the crypto world seem even more wild and unpredictable. I think we’ll just stick with Chelle Coin for now. Until the inevitable Chelle Coin Classic of course.
