The auction will be held from April 5th to 6th. In a statement shared with the Cointelegraph, McGregor promoted the launch as a fair Memecoin offering.
“This is not a bullshit token that was approved by celebrities. It’s a real game changer that will change the crypto ecosystem and truly change the world.
“It’s about transparency. We show the world how it works with integrity,” McGregor continued.
