Eric Adams: “New York will become the center of Bitcoin”

One of the leaders in the race for the mayor of New York, Eric Adams (Eric Adams), said that in just a year he will change the face of the city and make it the center of the cryptocurrency industry.

“I promise you that in just a year you will see a completely different city! We will attract business. We will become a hub for science, cybersecurity, autopilot cars and drones, and we will become a hub for Bitcoin, ”he said during his speech.

At the moment, Adams is in the lead in the race for the mayor’s seat – 32% of voters are ready to vote in his favor, with an advantage of 75,000 votes over the closest competitor. The final results of the voting will be announced on July 12.

Note that another Bitcoin enthusiast, Andrew Yang, also ran for mayor of New York, but he withdrew his candidacy after an unsuccessful start of the election race.

Recall that another large American city, Miami, is also going to become the center of blockchain and cryptocurrencies. Miami Mayor Francis Suarez spoke about this at the beginning of the year. In addition, he proposed to allow the payment of taxes and wages in bitcoins.
