A new mayor was recently elected in New York City.
Eric Adams is his name. He recently made an unusual request.
That is, their first three wages will be paid in Bitcoin.
He has served as a police officer in the past. He was elected just a few weeks ago. The tenure of current Mayor Bill de Blasio expires in January.
Adams, who was elected mayor via social media, said his objective is to make New York the “cryptocurrency capital of the world.”
In 2009, Bitcoin was introduced. It is known as the world’s largest cryptocurrency industry.
