币界网报道:Three U.S. mayors have made headlines with their contrasting approaches to Bitcoin. Miami Mayor Francis Suarez became the first American politician to accept his salary in Bitcoin in 2021, championing Miami as a crypto hub. New York City Mayor Eric Adams followed suit, converting his first paycheck to Bitcoin and Ethereum while promoting blockchain education in schools. Meanwhile, Jackson, Tennessee Mayor Scott Conger implemented a Bitcoin mining initiative using stranded energy, powering operations with excess hydroelectricity. These municipal Bitcoin adoptions occurred as the cryptocurrency surged from $754 in 2016 to over $107,000 (when measured in Zimbabwean dollars during hyperinflation). The mayors' initiatives reflect growing institutional acceptance, with Suarez noting Bitcoin could help citizens "opt out of inflation" and Conger demonstrating practical mining applications for local governments. Their actions highlight Bitcoin's evolving role from speculative asset to potential municipal financial tool.
