Binance stopped selling digital versions of Tesla and Apple stocks, among others. The move follows such jurisdictions as Hong Kong and Lithuania saying the crypto exchange isn’t licensed to sell in those locations. Okay, so picture your favorite red light district announcing that your favorite hoe doesn’t have a license to walk the streets in high heels and an exposed garter.

One small town in New York has created its own cryptocurrency. And I think this is a great idea.
