New York Mayor Eric Adams to Crypto Industry: Come Build an Empire in NYC (www.coindesk.com)

“This is the Empire State,” Adams said at a press briefing at Gracie Mansion on Monday. “We should be looking forward to building empires, particularly in the crypto space.”

Adams, who is running for reelection, reiterated his commitment to making New York City a crypto hub, telling reporters that he would work with tech and crypto companies, both big and small, to create a friendly environment to attract them and help them succeed.

“My goal remains the same as it was on day one as mayor: making New York City the crypto capital of the globe,” Adams said. His remarks echo similar pledges from President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly said he wants to make the U.S. the “crypto capital of the planet.”

They never sell. What income does he expect to see. They may use electricity. But they will move t9nthe caimans before selling.... so no significant tax revenue

He's honestly probably just hoping to get insider info on a rug pull meme coin. Doesn't make sense from any other angle.

You can call people you don't need rhwm to move in to get insider.

Why would they tell him anything unless he's done something for them?
