Belgian MP will take his salary in form of Bitcoins. He will transfer his payment of EUR 5,500/month into Bitcoins. For this purpose, he will incorporate the online Bitcoin trading service called as Bit4You. The surge of Bitcoin has knocked on the doors of the Belgian parliament also. Lawmakers are also fascinated by cryptocurrency. This can be seen by the decision made by a
Brussels member of Parliament publicly known as Christophe De Beykelaer.
He is the very first Belgian Minister and European politician to transform his monthly payment into Bitcoins. Bruzz has reported that the minister will convert his monthly payment with a value of around $6,140.75 into Bitcoins. He is a member of the Humanist Democratic Centre [CDH] party. He also says that he is hopeful that his decision will also motivate other politicians to take interest in this newly arrived tech.
He also emphasized the fact that how the Mayor of NYC known as Eric Adams and his fellow US politicians are putting efforts into developing their respective regions as Bitcoin hubs. He also added that Eric Adams, the Mayor of NYC has converted his 3 months payment into Bitcoins for promoting their use in New York. In the same course, he thinks that Brussels along with Belgium can also work towards becoming a Bitcoin hub and making a strong position in the Bitcoin industry.
Another name who supports Bitcoin is the Mayor of Miami called Francis X. Suarez. He has been supporting the use of Bitcoins by accepting his payment into Bitcoins. He is trying to create policies that also allow general employees of the city to take their salaries in Bitcoins along with advocating for making the city a Bitcoin hub.
The craze of Bitcoins is not limited to politicians. Several big sportspersons are also willing to take their salaries in Bitcoins. Seven stars of the NFL opted for getting paid in BTC salaries. Other famous names of the NBA like Klay Thompson also came forward to take BTC salaries. This shows how Bitcoin is heading in the direction of becoming an asset.
