“This is a clear signal from me that I am not playing. We have become too afraid as a city…”
“we have become a culture of ‘no.’ We turn down everything,”
Then, Eric Adams continues.
“This used to be a city where we led from the front.”
Lastly, Eric notes he will have to convert his dollar paycheck into Bitcoins. Then, states there’s no real way for him to receive payment in the cryptocurrency.
Meanwhile, Eric Adams reveals plans to check mechanisms that will allow for direct Bitcoin payments.
