Garlicoin (GRLC) was born in late 2017 after a Reddit user promised to launch a cryptocurrency based on garlic bread if their post received 30,000 upvotes. The community rallied, the goal was surpassed, and Garlicoin officially launched in early 2018. Unlike serious financial assets, Garlicoin embraces its identity as a 'memecoin' focused on fun, inclusivity, and the universal love for garlic bread. The memes typically feature the golden garlic logo alongside slogans about 'tasty gains' or 'baking' blocks instead of mining. It remains a cult favorite in the crypto world, representing the power of internet communities to turn a joke into a functional, tradeable digital currency.
