I’m going to take my next paycheck 100% in bitcoin…problem solved! @Sarasti can you help? https://t.co/v4YdPZ0tYc— Mayor Francis Suarez (@FrancisSuarez) November 2, 2021

The mayor has repeatedly stated his desire to make the city the world's cryptocurrency capital and planned to introduce the city's cryptocurrency into use. The official is known to the global community for his active support of the mining industry over the past few years and for being the author of the project to pay part of officials' salaries in cryptocurrency.
