New York City Mayor-Elect Eric Adams said schools should teach about cryptocurrency and its technology as he promises to build a cryptographic-compatible city when he takes office in January.
“When I talked about blockchain and bitcoins, young people on the street stopped and asked me, ‘What is that?’” Adams told CNN on Sunday.
According to the mayor, Bitcoin is a new way to pay for goods and services around the world "and that's what we should do - open our schools to teach technology and teach this new way of thinking."
When asked whether he would encourage New York companies to accept Bitcoin, the Democrat replied: "Let's take a look and act carefully."
The mayor-elect also said recently that he will receive his first three paychecks in Bitcoin and that the city must build a talent pipeline for crypto-related jobs.
Consequently this is a step closer to mass adaption! It is estimated that only 5% of the world population is actively engaged to cryptocurrencies, which means a staggering 95% of the population are potential future users of cryptocurrencies.
The openness of crypto in the American market, would be translated into fueling the the crypto-market with huge volumes of cashflow, and ultimately historic coins such as BTC and $BCH would certainly benefit from such actions, and their prices would surges to new time highs!
PS. enjoy the ride!
