Last Year’s Altcoin Army Have Become This Year’s Bitcoin Brigade
This time last year, altcoiners were jubilant at the soaring value of their respective cryptos, while gloating at BTC’s diminishing dominance. “Penny coins” such as Ripple, Iota, and Verge were rocketing, with fanboys decrying any media outlets that dared to “FUD” them. One year later, and most of those altcoiners have crawled back into the woodwork or returned to their first love – Bitcoin.

Bitcoin History Part 5: A Wild Altcoin Appears
It’s hard to imagine a time before cryptocurrency exchanges were stocked with hundreds of digital assets. A time before the pejorative “shitcoin” had been coined and there was no such metric as bitcoin dominance. But travel back to late 2010 and that’s exactly what you’d have found: a cryptosphere in which BTC was the only coin in town. But all that was about to change.

Halloween Coin (HALLO) – The Ghastly Themed Altcoin

In the case of Halloween Coin ($ HALLO), its exact purpose has always been a bit unclear. It all dates back to the official announcement date of the “relaunched” coin.
