Miami has added Bitcoin to its balance sheet and is now giving its employees the option to be paid in Bitcoin.
This is the first step on the path to an $80 trillion Bitcoin market cap!

It is good to have such news of Miami allowing employees to accept their payment in bitcoin, as I have seen past news that they have plans of doing such a thing, but I don’t know how they solve all legal hassles to do so this quicker.

It’s quite a good plan, employees should be allowed to pick their payment method of choice. I work for a media company and the job is remote, we are allowed to make a choice of payment methods, which is either bank, PayPal, or bitcoin. And I have been making use of bitcoin for receiving payment starting since last year. And that’s the best decision for me, since it made things to be a lot more easy, and they also handle the fees for the transactions.

Are you talking about the interview with the Mayor of Miami where he discusses the possibility of investing government funds in bitcoin? He also wants to make it possible to pay taxes and bills with bitcoin. I saw that interview back in January here.

I think this podcast is more updated.

Some of the tackled topics are seen in the website and the list is as follows

However, that video doesn't mention anything about Miami citizens being paid in bitcoin. I doubt it's official anyways, they are just proposals.

I don't have yet the time to listen to the podcast but seeing the topics makes me feel excited for Miami though.

It sounded like great news because it's very progressive to allow salaries and BTC and providing some documents to make it possible, but since the op didn't provide any link, and like others I couldn't find anything new on this topic, it's too early to talk about this stuff. The only stuff I see is info from February 2021 about the Mayor of Miami offering to explore an option of paying workers in Bitcoin. Firstly, that's old news now. Secondly, it's not about the Treasury Department, and it's not about using Bitcoin, but only about considering using it. So I think that given how there's a lack of new info about this, it probably didn't go any further.

Not really my piece of cake, but let’s play "spot the differences" (there really are some) with regards to this posted 3 months ago:

The above cropped-up whilst trying to verify if the OP’s content was effectively taking place (as opposed to it being announced a something under consideration, which is the status I last read some time ago). I don't think its effective yet; at least not on a public source that I’ve managed to see.

Back to the side topic, clear intent right? (no "woopsie, I forgot the source" applies).

I was looking for the source of this in Google, is it because of the interview with the Mayor of Miami in a podcast? Or even older news? Like around in February?
