    I’m 100000% convinced any politician that has a “token” is looking to scam people…

    Of course I’m also convinced that 99.999999% of politicians are looking to scam people anyway lol

      You shouldn’t be so cynical that is only to scam people. There’s also the possibility the politician is using it as a way to accept bribes.

    You mean Eric Adam’s the former nyc mayor and former captain in the nypd? surely a man of such upstanding character wouldn’t do suck a thing

    I’d imagined some sort of long con with the way this was described, but then I read…

    Adams unveiled the “NYC Token” on Jan. 12,

    Oh, that’s not too long ago

    Roughly 30 minutes after launch, the token’s value collapsed by about 81%,

    Most people won’t have been scammed because they wouldn’t have heard about it before they could get scammed.
