Bail Bloc

In 2017, The New Inquiry launched Bail Bloc, a Monero cryptocurrency mining application that raises funds to pay bail for those otherwise unable to afford it, with the money dispersed through The Bronx Freedom Fund.[3][4]

Reception

Alex Williams of The New York Times called the organization "an Intellectuals Anonymous of sorts for desperate members of the city’s literary underclass barred from the publishing establishment".[5] Sasha Frere-Jones in The New Yorker called it "one of the rare publications that has succeeded in becoming an intellectual journal that can draw people in, that poses large theoretical questions without sliding back into the iron mountain of academia".[2] Matthew Yglesias of Vox called it "the most literal descendent of the small magazines of yore, but the seminar room is now drastically more diverse."[6]
