PANews, December 4 - According to DL News, Bitcoin is about to break the $100,000 mark after soaring 129% this year, New York City Mayor Eric Adams said on Tuesday that people's skepticism towards him is ridiculous. Adams said, 'Remember when I first got Bitcoin and you all laughed at me? Who's laughing now? Go check my Bitcoin now, you all laughed at me back then, and now you wish you had done the same.' In January 2022, when Adams took office, he received his first three salary checks in the form of Bitcoin and Ethereum, which were worth about $30,000 at the time.
On Tuesday, Adams refused to disclose how much cryptocurrency he holds. However, according to his recent financial disclosure statement, his Bitcoin holdings are between $5,000 and $54,999 by the end of 2023. The mayor is currently facing criminal charges for bribery and campaign finance violations. He has denied all wrongdoing.
