E Corp (Mr. Robot) issues their own cryptocurrency (E Coin), which you can USE in San Diego

The rabbit hole goes pretty deep on this one.

Seems to be a new part of their alternate reality game that is happening as a sidecar to the show, and as a way to tie in the real world to the Mr. Robot world. They have website cyphers, defcon badges, and now e-coins, which don't feel blockchain based to me.

Is anyone else concerned that a TV Show has created an irl currency? #ecoin #sdcc https://t.co/TaWPcaNi2Y

Cool! It's awesome that you actually got the card. Make sure to keep that around, I'm sure it'll be worth something one day.

While we don't know if it's blockchain-based, it won't be hard for them to build something on their own ERC20 token. It's just another technology after all and maybe even easier to use than a fiat-based stunt.
