Tiger? Dog? How does those animals can relate to digital currencies?

[ClaudeLee]

You must have heard those names like “The Tiger Team” or “The Hawks Team” when you were at school. The reason why people keep connecting things with animal names must because that they want to copy the habits of animals into these things, so that they can make that more powerful.

Compare with the real life which is full of animal names, the virtual life is more complicate than that. A large part of online names was inserted with animals such as “Lion Lee” (I know it sounds weird…) and used it for blog or forum name.

What’s more, part of cryptocurrencies is also mixed with the animal names. Some of them are similar to the coin-self, some are full of ambitions from its founder, and also some humorous coins are there. So, I will introduce some of them with the following part.

1. Ethorse

This coin is named with “horse”, and you will find a cute geometric horse head on Ethorse’s official website which can move with your mouse. The application of Ethorse matches its image very well. It is a dapp game which is based on the blockchain technology. And also born in Ethereum.


Each of them has different genes, looks and properties, these are the unique part. But not only differences, the same part is that each Ethorse can produce a different generation and continue to multiply. It just like the entire blockchain which is connected closely. Of course, as a collectible, the Ethorse can be traded, and the better it looks, the higher it price.


Although it is a simple game dapp, it become a representative of the technology which is attached to the characteristics of the blockchain. Just like a cooperation that CanYacoin with other businesses, dapp will always produce the better products. I believe this is the future of cryptocurrency.

And plus, the two horses are not allowed to close relatives.


2. Dogecoin

Do you guys know that famous sticker which is a dog keep watching you? It named DOGE. And the following part is that a coin has been named by DOGE, it called the dogecoin. Unlike Others, dogecoin has already been born in 2013. At that time, it soared sharply to the position which just below the bitcoin.


The funniest part is that reddit make the dogecoin become popular. Which is that all the reddit sub kept talking dogecoin, and the powerful flow is just like a waterfall. In less than two weeks, its blogs and forums set up for dogecoin have been established.

Moreover, the subsequent effect is even more powerful. Its flow is more than 6 times that of Litecoin. Dogecoin seized the opportunity and make a nice marketing, just as Bitcoin vs Bitcoin Cash. After this, there are plenty of copycat such as zozocoin, want to earn the same achievement as dogecoin, but no one can exceed it.


3. Phoenixcoin

“Open-source”, ”Decentralized”, ”Global”, all these words were used in the cryptocurrencies. And those are also suitable for Phoenixcoin. As a coin which is a further development of Litecoin, Phoenixcoin has 98 million total coins, and some insignificant features such as faster, stronger, etc.

It is just one of the altcoins and with a common introduction. How it can be named Phoenix?

4. Tigercoin

First of all, I need to praise the home page of Tigercoin, it’s bloody fashion (anti-word)! The banner style takes me back to 2000. In photoshop, you can just use three layers to complete this banner.


Let's get down to business, same as Phoenixcoin, tigercoin is forked from Bitcoin version 0.8.99, with addition of super random blocks. And proof of work with SHA256 is used as in Bitcoin. But its rank has already told me that it is also a rubbish.

There are some other coins named by animals, like rabbitcoin and so on. I will introduce it in another time, and if you have some new idea, please tell me under the post.
