Jesus Coin is a satirical cryptocurrency that began as a parody of the numerous altcoins flooding the market, poking fun at the sometimes excessive promises of financial salvation by cryptocurrencies. It emerged in the early 2018 crypto boom as a community-driven initiative with a mission to highlight and critique the speculative nature of digital assets. The coin portrays itself with humor, symbolizing divine investment guidance, but does not claim any intrinsic value or functionality beyond its comedic branding. It operates on the Ethereum blockchain as an ERC-20 token, emphasizing its role as a form of comedic engagement and collectible within the crypto community rather than a serious financial instrument.
