"The HoloCoin (ticker: JEWS) is an ERC-20 Holocaust simulator," the website read. "There are 15.3 million living JEWS at the beginning of The HoloCoin. Of these 15.3 million JEWS, 4,107 burned each day, equivalent to the rate at which Jews were slaughtered in the Holocaust."

"Please, there must be some use for ASH. We will sell our ASH to the highest bid," the website stated.

The site went on to explain that users may collect and trade Jews as a cryptocurrency, with hurdles involving "corrupt SS officers" who "arranged for the safe transport of JEWS out of Nazi Germany."
The game was shared on Reddit, supposedly by the creators, in a post that said, "15,300,000 JEWS were created, the team is airdropping JEWS and [it] is up to you if you wanna save them or let them burn."
That same Reddit user had previously posted about the functionality of cryptocurrency, oftentimes promoting efforts to make transactions on the Ethereum platform completely private. They additionally shared a link to the Discord, or online chat forum, for the antisemitic cryptocoin.
The "HoloCoin" server on Discord is regularly active on the chatting platform.

Imagine: JEWS making US rich for a change."Users additionally make comments denying the existence of the Holocaust. One user sent a video in Japanese with subtitles, supposedly fake, stating, "The Holocaust didn't happen, World War II is almost all a lie" and that 6,000,000 Jews could not have been killed because "with 52 ovens they would have had to burn 2,760 Jews a day," which "makes no sense at ALL!"The founder of the chat and possibly the creator of the coin, who goes by the alias "Smaug Hitler," can be seen regularly telling users that the value of the coin will skyrocket in a few months, claiming that "1050 JEWS" will be worth $105,000 in a few months.
