Mayor Francis Suarez in an interview with Forbes shared plans to expand the use of bitcoin in Miami, which includes the possibility of paying salaries to city employees in bitcoins. I was thinking and wondering about the Mayor of Miami, doing allow payment of salaries for employees with Bitcoin, this of course there should be a change included in the law in Miami, that's for sure. What I want to ask is: • Does it apply to areas other than Miami. • And how did the county respond to the policies of the mayor of miami, did they do the same in particular South Florida or the other way around. • Of course each county, subject to the central government/president/prime minister, how is the Mayor of Miami in this, whether the central government approves it or vice versa. What is certain is that what the mayor of miami is doing is good, but from the other side there must be pros and cons, because the relevant government must incur additional costs to send salaries with Bitcoin, and plus the unstable Bitcoin price sometimes goes up and down, if you multiply it by how many employees there are in the miami area, of course the shipping costs are also a lot, it's cons, the smallest. Well, here is a fresh example, the newly elected mayor of New York, Eric Adams, intends to receive the first three salaries in bitcoin after taking office in January 2022. He answered so directly in a comment to the tweet of Miami Mayor Francis Suarez.
