BITCOIN IN THE BIG APPLE

New York City Mayor-elect Eric Adams (D) announced on Twitter Thursday he will be taking his first three payments as mayor in Bitcoin.

“In New York we always go big, so I’m going to take my first THREE paychecks in Bitcoin when I become mayor,” Adams tweeted.

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

Adams won the city’s mayoral election on Tuesday, beating his Republican opponent Curtis Sliwa. He will replace Mayor Bill de Blasio (D), who was not able to run for office again because of term limits.
