I’ve been privy to what historians will one day see as a quaint time in the downtown New York scene when social currency was only social, and not financial.

Holders of the $Nikita tokens will be granted access to exclusive content, rewards, and an invitation to a private Discord server you can interact with Hugo Comte and his community.
