Now that Mamdani is mayor, you may have been wondering “What is former Mayor Eric Adams up to now?” And I assure you, the answer is far more stupid than you had imagined: He launched a cryptocurrency (hexbear.net)

Link to the article

Highlights of his coin launch include lauding Blockchange [sic] technology (mentioned twice) and that the coin will help fight antisemtism

UPDATE: If you’re reading this you’re already too late. Rug pull already happened and he made $3 million

In an interview with Fox Business early on Monday morning, Adams announced that he was working on a cryptocurrency called New York City Coin. Speaking with Maria Bartiromo, Adams said the main reason he was launching this coin was to promote the use of cryptocurrency in New York City. It would also fund three separate initiatives: antisemitism awareness and education, “crypto education for New York City youth,” and scholarship opportunities for the aforementioned crypto-educated youth.

Lmao. Steal their money, champ.
