10 ICO AND EXTRAVAGANT CRYPTOACTIVES: SEX, CANNABIS, MEMES AND BEER IN THE MENU
The world of cryptoactives has experienced a 2017 of enormous growth, special mention to bitcoin, with more than 600% growth since January, and for the Initial Offers of Currency (ICO), which have raised more than 3 billion dollars, a This figure is enormously significant if we consider that this scheme for attracting capital is recent.
In the midst of this exponential growth there have been projects of all kinds, some more extravagant than others. In this article we put together 10 projects that, in addition to drawing attention for using blockchain technology and cryptoactives, also do so for the purpose they pursue, which have to do with sex, cannabis and even memes.
TITTIECOIN (TTC)
It was one of the first projects that raised money through an Initial Currency Offer, born in 2014 it was set up to show that cryptoactives have more scope than the hermetic circle of geeks, proving that they can have applications extremely close to the general public, even to cover expenses for consumption of pornography online. The ICO was rudimentary, and the distribution scheme consisted in an exchange between the computing capacity of the users and the tokens as a reward. Currently its price is 0.00013 dollars and has a market capitalization of 165.295 dollars, distributed in a total of 1.259.816.434 of TTC.
However, the main attraction of Tittiecoin is its community of users, who constantly use Bitcointalk, Facebook, Reddit or Twitter networks to chat and make jokes about the token.
The currency is aimed at the adult industry and serves as a means of payment in this environment. Even the technical team planned a platform called TittieTube, which would be an internal entertainment channel dedicated to accept the currency as a method of payment.
According to those responsible for the project, TittieCoin does not seek to degrade women, but simply takes note of its beauty and monetizes it, even for the benefit of these. The project contemplated the creation of an island of entertainment, where TTC would be the currency.
PARAGON (PRG)
ParagonCoin is a file created with Ethereum's ERC-20 protocol, which made a successful ICO during October, raising a considerable amount of funds, although the concrete figure was not published. The offer was open for 30 days, and 200 million PRG were sold. Currently has a market capitalization of $ 9,602,230, its price has suffered a retraction of up to 8.69%, standing at $ 0.3108 per token.
The project offers blockchain solutions to the cannabis industry, which according to its website has been fragmented, distanced and full of distrust, especially in terms of the quality of the strains produced. The answer? The team of 12 people, headed by the CEO, Jessica VerSteeg, planned the development of an important database, managed in a distributed manner, that significantly increases confidence in the products. This means that there will be a strict and unmodifiable control of each of the strains of the seed to the plant, including in turn quality tests with respect to the growers, the planting spaces and other characteristics such as the quality of the seeds and of the offspring.
TRUMPCOIN (TRUMP)
The 45th president of the United States has his own file, because as a project born "from the people", TRUMP was created by an anonymous user as a kind of tribute to the vision of President Donald Trump on the transformation of the country ( summarized in his well-known motto "Let's Make America Great Again"). Currently the token has a market capitalization of $ 318,235 and a price of 0.0486 cents per unit. The total of TRUMP in circulation is 6,545,737. The sale of this token was made through exchange houses such as C-Cex, YoBit, Cryptopia, Livecoin, Trade Satoshi and Nova Exchange using bitcoins for purchase.
The idea is to help create a new economy with Trump's vision, and that the TRUMP token will finance projects, associated with the government's agenda. Especially attending to the veterans and the most dispossessed of the country and providing economic opportunities from cryptography. One of the main offers of the token is the possibility of obtaining important returns, while helping the president of the republic to build a better country. However, the project has no relationship with Trump or its companies.
BITCOEN
The world of cryptoactives has also seen how some projects link their characteristics with religious and cultural creeds, as in the case of Bitcoen. The cryptocurrency is specially designed to comply with the precepts of Judaism, in an interesting effort to unite the cryptographic and technological advances with one of the oldest religions in the world. The currency can only be obtained by Jews, since all purchases of it are verified. The offer will begin in just over a week, and a cap of collection of 20 million dollars is expected.
So far the project has received more than $ 150,000 in its pre-sale and the team has invested close to $ 500,000. According to the cryptoactive website, a total of 110 establishments receive BitCoen: 70 restaurants, 25 kosher stores, and 15 companies. The token will serve the world's Jewish community, which currently represents 0.02% of the world's population, and have set a goal of 1.5 billion dollars in capitalization in two years.
