NYC Mayor Wants to Get Paid in Bitcoin
Eric Adams says he’ll take his first 3 checks as Mayor of NYC in bitcoin. He’s hoping to attract crypto developers to the city. “NYC is going to be the center of the cryptocurrency industry and other fast-growing, innovative industries! Just wait!”
Sounds like someone’s getting more than his check in bitcoin. Bet you a bitcoin that this mayor doesn’t stay in office to the end of his term.
In New York we always go big, so I’m going to take my first THREE paychecks in Bitcoin when I become mayor. NYC is going to be the center of the cryptocurrency industry and other fast-growing, innovative industries! Just wait!

Portnoy responded that if the allegations were true, it would make him a horrible person, but denies that they happened as the women reported.
He’ll still get to rate pizza though, right?

The post praises his current wife Katherine Schwarzenegger and the daughter they share. “She’s given me an amazing life, a gorgeous healthy daughter,” he wrote.

He also praised Mario and not Garfield. What a prick.
