Adams also said in this interview that he planned to look at what was preventing the growth of bitcoin and cryptocurrency in New York.Ī study released on Friday by an Australian university looking at multiple catastrophes hitting the Great Barrier Reef has found for the first time that only 2% of its area has escaped bleaching since 1998, then the world's hottest year on record.

The New York mayor-elect said in an interview with Bloomberg Radio on Wednesday that he wanted to wager a "friendly competition" with Suarez. Mayor Suarez's progressive crypto policies have already begun to attract top talent. Since winning office, the New York mayor has been throwing down with Suarez in a battle over who can transform their respective fiefdoms into crypto capitals of the country. Adams appeared to be trying to one-up Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, who said on Tuesday that he would be taking his next paycheck "100% in bitcoin." In this same post, he wrote that in New York, "we always go big" so he would be taking his "first THREE paychecks" in bitcoin. From the report: "NYC is going to be the center of the cryptocurrency industry," Adams said in a tweet on Thursday. In a follow-up to yesterday's story about New York City mayor-elect Eric Adams' dreams of putting the Big Apple on the blockchain, CNBC reports that Adams plans to take his first three paychecks in bitcoin.
