Miami’s Mayor Doubles Down On His Crypto Support, Plans To Accept Salary In Bitcoin

Francis Suarez, the pro-digital asset mayor of Miami, vowed to accept his next paycheck altogether in terms of BTC. Consequently, he can become the first American politician to be paid in the primary digital asset.

In a recent tweet, Miami’s mayor informed that he will take that support one step further by receiving his next salary in BTC. His announcement came as a reply to the digital asset proponent and investor, Anthony Pompliano, who asked earlier:

“Who is going to be the first American politician to accept their salary in bitcoin?”

Suarez tweeted,

“I’m going to take my next paycheck 100% in bitcoin…problem solved! @Sarasti can you help?”

As per the Miami Herald, the mayor’s yearly salary is one hundred eighty seven thousand and five hundred dollars, which at the time of reporting equals approximately three bitcoins.

It appears like the BTC revolution in Miami is set to continue since Suarez is the favorite to get 4 more years as the city’s head.

As per Suarez, BTC’s most noteworthy primacy is that it is not tied to the fiat system or the monetary policy. As such, it creates enthusiasm within some developing countries, which have turned their sights to it to save their collapsed economies.
