The new mayor of New York wants salary in Bitcoin

New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced he would receive his first three bitcoin salaries after taking office (early January) and said New York would become “the center of the cryptocurrency industry,” further confirming its commitment to the dissemination of digital currencies.
During his campaign, the former police officer said in June that under his leadership, New York would transform in a year. He specifically said he wanted to make it a crypto hub, creating job opportunities in this thriving industry.
Along this line, he promoted the New York City Coin (NYCCoin), a cryptocurrency that uses blockchain technology.
