he saw Mamdani talking about housing and thought: but what about crypto?
my guess is this is more of a hail mary attempt to get blockchain/AI money and influence behind him. we haven't seen much crypto industry spending in races below the federal level, but i also wouldn't put it past them to get involved here at the last minute
Cryptocurrency money ousted Jon Tester & Sherrod Brown from the Senate.
The Winklevoss twins really like public corruption from malign foreign governments

Never in my life have I felt the lines between good and evil have been so clear. Or perhaps it's between good and evil/stupid, 'cause most of them on that side of the line cover both of those bases well. Cuomo certainly does.
@molly0xfff I'm sure we will begin to live in the blockchain soon-ish
He's signaling to the people with money and current power.
He can't win the people, so he's trying to get dealt into the rigged game.
@molly0xfff he's toast, so he's looking for his next grift
@molly0xfff I use to be a fan of Cuomo. Then all the noise came about. He was no angel but not as bad as Trump. He had a chance to course correct, admit mistakes and fix them. Instead it’s been one move in desperation after the last. He’s showing he’s not fit to hold any office …
@molly0xfff Were Adams and Yang just using crypto as a buzzword in 2021? I just assumed they were getting huge donations.
@serverlessaoife at a much smaller scale than we've seen federally, and generally from one-off donors rather than corporations
@molly0xfff this is such a transparently blatant attempt to appeal to crypto bros.
@molly0xfff yeah, that is most likely not gonna work. I am very skeptical about evidence crypto playing minimal if any role in 2024, and I highly doubt this will save him.
This reeks of cashing in before unavoidable fail.
Does the inclusion of biotech there mean actual medical technology or is it for when the AI grifters move to giving themselves cancer and calling it bio hacking?
@molly0xfff I feel like there's no amount of money that could make enough people like this guy at this point lmao
My preference would be that every time he opens his mouth about crypto more and more people hate crypto just because of him.
