Miami Mayor Serves up Big Bitcoin Endorsement Suggesting BTC Salaries

Speaking publically, Suarez thanked the city of Miami commissioners for supporting his resolution to procure a vendor to be able to offer employees the option to receive a portion of their salaries in Bitcoin.

He added this allows our residents to pay for fees in Bitcoin and would also allow the city manager to cooperate with the county to allow taxes to be paid in Bitcoin. He continued;

“The city of Miami supports efforts to make Bitcoin an acceptable currency for us to potentially invest in in the future. It is wonderful to be a very crypto forward city in Miami,”

The massive endorsement was noted and retweeted by a number of industry experts including Anthony Pompliano;

‘Pomp’ then added;

“It is a matter of national security that the United States embraces and adopts Bitcoin. The only way to remain in the leadership position on a global stage is to ensure that we benefit from the open, decentralized protocol. Anything less will be catastrophic to the country.”

Bitcoin Market Cap Hits $1T

Bitcoin prices have been on a Tesla driven roll lately, topping out at an all-time high of $49,000 a few hours ago according to Tradingview.com.

BTC has currently retreated back to trading at $47,400 which makes it flat over the past 24 hours. Its next target, however, is the psychological $50k barrier and Miami’s Mayor may have just helped it get there.

The latest ATH has pushed the asset’s fully diluted market capitalization to a record one trillion dollars, as noted by Litecoin creator, Charlie Lee;

Bitcoin dominance however has continued to slide as Ethereum holds ground above $1,750 and a number of altcoins and DeFi tokens hit new all-time highs. It is currently a little over 62% having lost 13.5% since the beginning of 2021.

With a fully diluted market cap of a trillion dollars, Bitcoin, which is seeing a liquidity supply slide, is now bigger than Tesla and Facebook according to Companiesmarketcap.com.

Total Cap Tops $1.4 Trillion

Tradingview is reporting the total market cap at just over $1.4 trillion whereas Coingecko’s figures are a little higher at $1.45 trillion, a 5% gain on the day.

Either way, it marks a new all-time high for total market cap putting it on a par with Google’s Alphabet.
