New York City Mayor Eric Adams keeps the city's residents busy: he mercilessly scolds rats, promotes veganism, does not deny himself fish, and often makes extremely absurd statements.
One of the talents that has really helped me be a good mayor is my ability to be sexy and stay focused," he said at the Democratic National Convention in August.
However, now that Bitcoin rose above the $100,000 mark, he had reason to proudly declare the correctness of his words and decisions.
Remember everyone laughed at me when I first got mine Bitcoin. Do you find it funny now too?
In January 2022, when Adams took office, he received his first three salaries received in bitcoins and etherAt that time, the total value of cryptocurrencies was $30,000.
It is currently unknown how much cryptocurrency he has, but he says his Bitcoin holdings will reach $2023 by the end of 54,999.
Come and look at my bitcoins," Adams continued. "You all mocked me, saying, 'You got your first three paychecks in bitcoins. What's wrong with you?' Now you wish you had done the same!
Adams' happiness is marred by the fact that he is currently facing criminal charges of bribery and campaign finance violations, charges he denies.
Let us recall that his colleague, Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, also received all his salary in bitcoins, however, he is more reserved in his statements on this matter.
