The Romanian self-proclaimed “King of the Roma” launched a cryptocurrency meant to bring together Romani communities worldwide, BIRN reports. The Gypsycoin project is backed by an initial investment of 50,000 euros from its mastermind Daniel Cioaba and his associates, according to Romanian media. The project’s website says it is “an ecosystem designed to support the development of Roma communities,” based on “a trading and charity system with a focus on facilitating education.” In addition to leading the Romanian charter of the International Romani Union, Daniel Cioaba is also an evangelical Christian pastor and the son of the late Florin Cioaba, who proclaimed himself “International King of the Roma” in 1997.
