PAC – Who we are?
PacCoin is alternative digital currency. Originally founded in 2013 by William Corliss as the Pacifica Nation’s of-ficial coin. Almost exactly four years later the Crypto community rebranded and relaunched PacCoin. The coin was launched with a new purpose and direction and supportive resources.The coin now stands for the People’s Alternative Choice coin. The PacCoin network of developers has banded together with the community to bring PacCoin back into the top of the Cryptosphere.
Our commitment!
We are a team of marketers. developers and crypto enthusiasts working together in synergy. We always strive to make PAC the ultimate crypto-currency with multiple real-world purposes. We expect PacCoin to be em-braced by millions of people in the next twenty years.

OUR STORY
One day while trading another coin on Cryptopia, I recognized PacCoin from years ago and was intrigued by the chart pattern and decided to delve a little further into it. I soon found the Bitcointalk.org community that had dust and tumbleweeds with unanswered pleas for somebody to invigorate it. These requests fell upon deaf ears. But I felt like there was energy behind those queries….I could feel it – I think others had the same feelings as well. I quickly found at the end of the thread one of members had posted a link to a PacCoin Discord room. My curiosity kicked in and I entered the room and was quickly was inspired to help.
Now I have a good friend in Portugal – we call him Mr. CryptoPT and he has been a huge asset to the our Pac-Coin relaunch story. Members like him and others that have jumped on-board and rolled up your sleeves to contribute your ideas and solutions. I look forward to providing some of the leadership to grow our community into a viable asset for the wholecryptosphere to envy.
