New York City Mayor Eric Adams criticized Democratic mayoral candidate and former Governor Andrew Cuomo as residents prepared to vote in the party’s primary election.
Speaking at the Permissionless conference in Brooklyn on Tuesday, Adams said that under Cuomo’s governorship, New York State “dismantled and destroyed the industry,” describing the former governor’s actions as “wrong” and “misguided” on digital assets.
The mayor, running for reelection as an independent candidate, said he planned to set up a city council to advocate for crypto policies in state government, and “build out the pipeline” to pay for city services using crypto and by introducing digital asset education in schools.
“I think in the first 120 days, the number of bills that went through the federal level to deal with this issue is extremely impressive,” said Adams, likely referring to the Congress moving forward on legislation to regulate payment stablecoins and crypto market structure. “And now you’re seeing cities picking up, and states picking up the same energy.”

DEATH TO AMERICA!
Keeping the Robber Barons honest
Polymarket set for $200M raise at $1B valuation:
Betting platform Polymarket is reportedly set to be valued at $1 billion in a $200 million raise
And the first piece of trash it can take out is Peter Thiel.
He embodies the pure-information fallacy: treating an economic institution purely as an information system, accounting only for market-proximate incentives to contribute information via trading decisions, while neglecting how that market necessarily also changes players' incentives to act outside of that market.
For example, a currently popular view of proposition bets, the "prediction markets" view, often treats prop bets or idea futures as purely information-distribution mechanisms, with the only incentives supposed as the benign incentive to profit by adding useful information to the market.
This fails to take into account the incentives such markets create to act differently outside the market. A "prediction market" is always also one that changes incentives outside that market: a prediction market automatically creates parallel incentives to bring about the predicted event.
For example a prediction market on a certain person's death is also an assassination market. Which is why a pre-Gulf-War-II DARPA-sponsored experimental "prediction market" included a prop bet on Saddam Hussein's death, but excluded such trading on any other, more politically correct world leaders.
A sufficiently large market predicting an individual's death is also, necessarily, an assassination market, and similarly other "prediction" markets are also act markets, changing incentives to act outside that market to bring about the predicted events.
Pre-emptive self-defense - whose next?
KGB Russia - obviously. They can hardly complain.
Ditto Communist China - they invade, colonize and exploit like a serial killer.
Myanmar - low, ripe hanging durian.
DPRK - death by isolation. Or if that doesn't work try PESD a tactic of first-in-best-dressed hallowed by time and consecrated by usage in this brave new poly-centric world situation.
The Vatican - last call for unholy alcohol
Any NETSTATE that rears its ugly head. We could have this mess cleaned up by, well . . .
