New York City Mayor-elect Eric Adams plans to make NYC the center of crypto and innovation. He says we must open our schools to teach cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, noting that bitcoin is “a new way of paying for goods and services throughout the entire globe.”

NYC Mayor-Elect Wants Schools to Teach Bitcoin, Crypto, Blockchain

New Yorgi linnapeaks valitud Eric Adams rääkis CNN Business Sunday intervjuus NYC muutmisest innovatsiooni ja krüptovaluutade keskuseks. Ta selgitas ka oma säutsu tagamaid, öeldes, et ta teeb seda võta tema kolm esimest palka bitcoinis.

Adams was asked, “Would you encourage businesses in New York City to accept bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies?” He replied: “We are going to look at it. We are going to tread carefully. We are going to get it right.”

He proceeded to explain: “l want to send a signal. This city was the Empire State … This is the center of innovation, self-driving cars, drone development, cybersecurity, life sciences. So when I talked about blockchain and bitcoin, young people on the street stopped and asked me: ‘What is that? What it is about?’”

The mayor-elect was then asked to explain exactly what bitcoin is. Noting that “Even experts will have a challenge doing that,” Adams replied:

Tegemist on krüptovaluutaga. See on uus viis kaupade ja teenuste eest tasumiseks kogu maailmas. Ja seda me peame tegema: avama oma koolid, et õpetada tehnoloogiat ja õpetada seda uut mõtteviisi kaupade ja teenuste eest tasumisel.

Juunis Adams lubas his supporters: “In one year, one year, you’re going to see a different city … We’re going to bring businesses here. We’re going to become the center of life science, the center of cybersecurity, the center of self-driving cars, drones, the center of bitcoins. We are going to be the center of all technology.”

Adamsil paluti kommenteerida ka tema kohta tehtud säutsu, mille esitas Harvardi ülikooli professor ja Obama administratsiooni ajal majandusnõustajate nõukogu esimees Jason Furman.

Vastates Adamsi teatele, et ta võtab oma kolm esimest palka sisse BTC, Furman tweeted Thursday: “Not only is this a bad economic strategy for NYC and a bad investment decision, [but] it also seems like a conflict of interest.” He elaborated: “Like a mayor announcing ‘I’m buying a lot of Amazon stock and then going to put in places policies to benefit Amazon.’”

Without mentioning that, unlike Amazon, bitcoin is not a company and there is no bitcoin CEO to benefit from the rise of BTC, rõhutas Adams, et kasutab oma isiklikku raha. Valitud linnapea jagas:

Kaotasin oma pensionifondi aktsiaturu krahhi ajal aktsiaturul tuhandeid dollareid. Volatiilsus on osa meie tehtud investeeringutest.

"Tal on oma analüüs. Mul on oma analüüs,” rõhutas Adams. „Ja ma tahan olla kindel, et sellest linnast saab innovatsiooni keskus, olenemata sellest, milline see uuendus on. Selles seisnebki inimvaim – mitte karta vaadata oma riiki ja linna edasi liikudes kõiki innovatsioonivaldkondi.
