New York City, the most populous city in the USA, got its 110th new mayor. Adams, the second black president of New York, received 66% of the vote. Eric Adams, who will take office on January 1, 2022, has an important feature that distinguishes him from other presidential candidates.
The new president has promised to make New York a crypto city.
The 61-year-old Democratic candidate made two key promises to residents during his election campaign.
Its first promise is to restore New York's former glory, which it lost due to the pandemic. Secondly, and most importantly, to make New York a crypto city.
During the election campaign, Adams promised to create a perfect city where no one is left behind, saying:
I promise the residents of New York. When I am elected, you will see a different city in 1 year.
New York will be the hub of science, technology, cybersecurity, dreones and Bitcoin.
Eric Adams is not the first president to take a pro-crypto stance and support Bitcoin. Other mayors of the US, like Adams, are trying to make their own cities a crypto city.
Although the municipality of Miami, the first city to issue its own native token, is one step ahead in this regard, new Bitcoin mining facilities continue to be established in the state of Texas.
Miami Mayor Suarez Will Get His Salary In BTC!
Miami Mayor Francis Suarez tweeted yesterday (November 2, 2021).
President Francis Suarez will receive his salary in BTC next Tuesday (November 9, 2021)!
Miami Mayor Francis Suarez will receive his next salary payment entirely in Bitcoin (BTC), according to his “tweet”. Suarez may be breaking new ground with this innovation. Francis Suarez, who will be one of the only US political leaders to receive his salary in BTC, is said to have an annual salary of $ 187,500.
Suarez, who will receive his new salary on Tuesday, will do so using fintech Strike's dollar-to-bitcoin conversion service. As a matter of fact, the Mayor of Miami does not receive salary payments in BTC. By converting the salary he receives directly into BTC, he converts the payment made to him into BTC. Even so, we can say that it is important for the crypto money market that BTC is supported, loved and preferred by political leaders.
Miami Mayor Suarez is not interested in BTC for the first time. About 9 months ago, he paid his employees with BTC. 12 months ago, he said that BTC was an unstable investment. Now he continues to work for the adoption of BTC.
Presidents compete. Let's see who will win the race on BTC? New York? Miami?
