Uniswap founder sharply criticizes former New York City mayor's launch of NYC token: celebrity politicians' foolish use of blockchain for scam monetization

Uniswap founder Hayden Adams commented on the NYC token event launched by former New York City Mayor Eric Adams on the X platform. Hayden Adams stated that, from any perspective, this is utterly terrible and extremely foolish. It is sad that celebrity politicians could easily monetize their fame without resorting to scams. They could legitimately profit from blockchain technology without damaging their reputation or getting into legal trouble.

Hayden Adams pointed out that blockchain has created unprecedented and extremely powerful tools for coordination, monetization, and value distribution. It is real, it is working, and it is being used by millions of people worldwide, with more and more assets being tokenized and real business models developing on this basis. However, when celebrities use blockchain, they essentially act like foolish scammers, often unaware that transactions are public.
