Get your salary paid in Bitcoin. This is already partly the case at some companies and this mayor also sees it as a good idea.
The United States plays an important and increasingly important role in the world of crypto. After China has completely closed the doors to cryptocurrency, you can see that a large part of the miners have moved to the US. Could New York be the crypto capital of the world? If it’s up to the new mayor Eric Adams, yes.
At least, he takes crypto very seriously. Adams was recently elected as the new mayor of the American city and will take over from Bill de Blasio in January 2022. Eric Adams, 60, would like his first three months in office as mayor of New York not to be paid in dollars. but want to receive in Bitcoin.
Adams is not the first mayor to make such statements. Francis Suarez, the mayor of Miami, made a similar statement. Suarez was recently re-elected and then said he would be happy to receive the salary in Bitcoin for the first month after his renewal.
