The mayor of New York equaled the future of Big Apple to cryptocurrency, blockchain and a new “advisory advice on digital assets” which could provide more jobs to the metropolis.
Talk to the first NYC Crypto SummitMayor Eric Adams said the City will create a “advisory advice on digital assets to provide jobs and fintech investments here at the Big Apple”.
In the coming weeks, he said, will bring the appointment of a chairman of the Council and “key political recommendations”.
He rejected all thought that the city simply pursued what is hot at the moment – a moment when the administration of President Donald Trump is Support the expansion of cryptocurrencymake concerns about take advantage of this growth.
“It is not a question of chasing the same or the trends,” Adams told participants in Summit. “We want to use the technology of tomorrow to better serve New Yorkers today. We have experts here, and they will help us navigate solutions that serve our city. ”
He said that the city “explores” if residents could pay taxes and for services via cryptocurrency.
Adams also said that “we also examine the power of blockchain”, which could potentially be used to “manage sensitive information like our vital files”.
New York is not the only local or state government by considering blockchain, a large decentralized digital book designed to follow not only cryptocurrency transactions but other information, including identity data. Blockchain transactions can be publicly verifiedwith Backers praising the safety of the tool.
The call of Adams to more crypto and blockchain sometimes sounded as if he encouraged a strength of resistance to emerge from their hiding places.
“We are fortunate to have this type of human capital here in the city of New York. You have hidden in the shadows, afraid of going out during the day,” he said at the top. “Get out now. You can thrive in this big city. “
Other governments have adopted cryptocurrencies, because others think so, although Adams’ plans seem relatively aggressive and not focused on investments in digital parts.
An example comes from Wyoming, which recently created a stable token administered by the State Agency, with a program scheduled in July. These tokens are supported by US dollars or euros, making it a relatively safe investment in digital currency, at least according to supporters.
More jobs and a more diverse and more equitable “technological ecosystem” could considerably depend on cryptographic progress, said Adams.
“My goal remains the same as the first day as mayor, making New York the capital of world cryptography,” he said.
