Župan Miamija pravi, da načrtuje napredek plačevanja mestnih uslužbencev v bitcoinih

• Miami Mayor Francis Suarez told Bloomberg that paying government employees in bitcoin is a “major priority” for the city.
• “I want us to differentiate ourselves as a crypto capital of the United States or of the world,” Suarez said in an interview.
• A similar proposal was first pushed in February but has since stalled.

Miami’s top priority at the moment is enabling bitcoin as a payment option for government employee salaries and citizens’ taxes and fees, mayor Francis Suarez said in an interview with Bloomberg oktobra 12.

The city will issue a formal request for proposal this month, according to Suarez, to help actualize the mayor’s plan. Miami will need to create the payment rails to allow city residents to pay fees and taxes in bitcoin.

"Želim, da se razlikujemo kot kripto prestolnica Združenih držav ali sveta," je dejal Suarez. Bloombergje Emily Chang.

Februarja podoben sklep o integraciji BTC v poslovanje Miamija prejel podporo from city commissioners. Suarez’s broader proposal sought to let citizens pay city fees or property taxes in bitcoin, allow city employees to receive compensation in bitcoin, and allow Miami to invest in bitcoin.

"Če bi ga lahko obdržali od trenutka, ko sem dal resolucijo na dnevni red, bi se povečala za 30 ali 40 odstotkov, tako da bi bil takrat videti kot genij," je dejal. "Ampak tako deluje."

Suarez se sooča z udarci na cesti, saj statut Floride trenutno ne dovoljuje, da bi njegovo mesto imelo BTC. Toda župan je bil deležen podpore na ravni občine. Aprila je Danielle Cohen Higgins, komisarka okrožja 8 in predstavnica v odboru komisarjev okrožja Miami-Dade, podala resolucijo ustanoviti delovno skupino za oceno izvedljivosti izvajanja Suarezovih načrtov.
