Miami Mayor Francis Suarez said Thursday on Fox Business’ Cavuto: Coast to Coast that he will be accepting his next paycheck entirely in bitcoin in a move to showcase Miami as one of the most “innovative cities on the planet.”
Suarez, 44, made the announcement as a followup to a tweet reply by Anthony Pompliano, a crypto enthusiast and investor at Morgan Creek Capital Management. “It is time. Who is going to be the first American politician to accept their salary in bitcoin?” asked @APompliano, to which @FrancisSuarez replied, “I’m going to take my next paycheck 100% in bitcoin … problem solved!”
