NYC Mayor-Elect Pledges To Take First Three Paychecks in Bitcoin, Kicking Off Competition With Miami

by Daily Hodl Staff
November 5, 2021
in Bitcoin

The competition to become the US’s “crypto capital” has begun.

Popular YouTube investor Anthony Pompliano kicked things off on Tuesday when he asked Twitter which American politician would be the first to accept a paycheck in Bitcoin (BTC).

Miami Mayor Francis Suarez responded quickly, promising to take his next check completely in BTC.

I’m going to take my next paycheck 100% in bitcoin…problem solved! @Sarasti can you help? https://t.co/v4YdPZ0tYc

Then, on Thursday, New York City’s Mayor-Elect Eric Adams one-upped Suarez, promising on Twitter to take his first three checks in Bitcoin.

Adams says,

“NYC is going to be the center of the cryptocurrency industry and other fast-growing, innovative industries! Just wait!” 

Suarez promptly accepted the Mayor-Elect’s challenge.

“Touché…congrats on the election and I look forward to the friendly competition in making our respective cities a crypto capital!”

Pompliano hyped up the interaction.

The Mayor of New York City is reportedly going to take his first 3 paychecks in bitcoin.

This is in response to Miami Mayor @FrancisSuarez taking his next paycheck in bitcoin.

We literally have politicians competing with each other to adopt bitcoin faster. (h/t @Blockworks_)

— Pomp ? (@APompliano) November 4, 2021

The jabs between the two crypto-friendly politicians began this summer when Adams, while speaking on the night of the Democratic primary election, promised to make New York City “the center of Bitcoins.”

“We’re going to be the center of all the technology. Miami, you had your run. We’re bringing our businesses back to New York.”

Suarez has previously stated that he wants Bitcoin miners exiled by China’s crypto crackdown to come set up shop in Miami.
