The Adams Currency

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

We’ve all been waiting for it, let’s be honest

Is there anyone who actually falls for the crypto grift anymore that also still has money to spend on it?

Or is this just the new way the rich like to launder money?

Have they pulled the rug yet?

Is this the new way to launder payouts? Just buy their shitcoin and let them 'rugpull' you?

[–] spudnik@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago

Yup, took about a half hour

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

no that's actually exactly as stupid as i guessed, because it was my first guess

[–] CoolerOpposide@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago

Well guess what? Rug pulled in less than 24 hours

Can Adams give them anything in return now?

[–] CoolerOpposide@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

he already did in his time as mayor

Honor among thieves, eh?
