The most stupid cryptocurrency ever!
Hello Steemit!
I just found the most stupid cryptocurrency ever!

Coinye West / Coinye:
This is the first time I heard about this currency and I am almost laughing! :D
This is the most stupid cryptocurrency ever!
Especially when you take into account the trademark infringement lawsuit against it's developers!
The coin developers should have expected that!
Quote from the Wikipedia:
"Coinye, formerly Coinye West, is an abandoned scrypt-based cryptocurrency that became embroiled in a trademark infringement lawsuit for using the likeness of American hip hop artist Kanye West as its mascot, despite West having no affiliation with the project. The project was abandoned by the original developers following West's filing of a trademark infringement lawsuit against them."

Thank you for reading!
Have a nice day!
Can you believe my boyfriend had some of those back then! He laughed when he saw the logo come up on my screen. I asked him what. And he said go up, I think I see coinye. lol
I think it started out mostly as a joke, based on the episode of "South Park" that used the "fish sticks" joke parodying Kanye.
Although I do think that celebrity-based currencies could be an interesting item in a collectibles sense. This may be a market opportunity that hasn't been exploited yet.
