(April 17, 2020 / JNS) A anti-Semitic web site that’s now shut down provided customers the chance to commerce a cryptocurrency referred to as the “HoloCoin,” a reference to the Holocaust, by which Jews and the ashes of Jews burnt could be bought or offered.
TheHolocoin.web, which was bought on April 2 and registered with the website-building platform SquareSpace, is no longer accessible. Nevertheless, the worthless digital forex continues to be being traded on trading platforms corresponding to ForkDelta.
StopAntisemitism.org was one of many first to attract consideration to the anti-Semitic cryptocurrency.
“This must be some of the vile and atrocious anti-Semitic incidents we’ve got but to return throughout,” Liora Rez, govt director of StopAntiSemitism.org, informed JNS. “For somebody to erect and orchestrate a plan the place they will purchase the ashes of useless Jews as forex on a buying and selling platform clearly exhibits the blatant hatred of Jews that exists in society in the present day.”
Holocoin.web provided two currencies—“JEWS” and “ASH”—and its founders are on-line customers that go by the usernames “Smaug Hitler” and “30YearOldHimmler.” The digital forex is being promoted as an “ERC-20” token, which suggests it’s designed to be used on the Ethereum platform, an open-source blockchain-based distributed computing platform, and could also be transferred to a cryptowallet.
The cryptocurrency shortly discovered its method onto on-line boards and social-media websites.
A page on the web site Reddit that promotes HoloCoin describes it as “a cryptocurrency that recreates the Holocaust” and says that “15,300,000 JEWS had been created, the crew is airdropping JEWS and [it] is as much as you when you wanna save them or allow them to burn.”
A thread on the location 4chan discussing the “HoloCoin.” Supply: Screenshot through StopAntisemitism.org.
A thread on the web site 4chan in regards to the HoloCoin discusses those that bought the cryptocurrency, saying, “Thanks to everyone who signed up and acquired your preliminary cargo of 500 JEWS. Whereas preliminary shipments have ended, any pockets that registers in response to directions on TheHoloCoin.web will obtain 50 JEWS each different week. JEWS could also be bought anytime.”
The message continued saying, “Any JEWS neither airdropped nor bought will proceed to burn on the charge of 4,107 per day—the speed at which 6 million are burned in 4 years. Thanks goyim for saving JEWS. Please proceed to save lots of JEWS, earlier than they’re burned and turned to ASH.”
The 4chan thread additionally options the cryptocurrency’s emblem: a big circle with “Bear in mind The 6 Million” round its border with a big blue Star of David within the middle, together with the letters “HC.” The banner picture for HoloCoin’s Twitter page has a Star of David that claims “ash” round it, with a shadow within the background of the Pepe the Frog meme.
