Miami To Give Bitcoin To Its Citizens, Allow Usage For Payments
The city's mayor Francis Suarez shared his plans to create a Bitcoin ecosystem in Miami and allow city employees to get paid in BTC.
The city of Miami will soon start giving bitcoin to its citizens, its mayor Francis Suarez announced on a Τηλεόραση CoinDesk interview Thursday morning. When asked if he envisioned bitcoin being used as cash, including as a tax payment method, Suarez confidently confirmed such intentions.
"I do see very quickly a world where the Satoshi system is what is used to make payments; we need to make that leap," the mayor said. "We need people to understand that bitcoin is increasing in value and yes, we want you holding bitcoin. But at the same time we need to increase the utility of Bitcoin which increases the value even more and also creates more functionality so people can be in a better currency, frankly."
Ο Σουάρες έχει πιέσει έντονα μια ατζέντα για να create a comprehensive Bitcoin οικοσύστημα στο Μαϊάμι και ανακοίνωσε την περασμένη εβδομάδα ότι θα take his entire salary in bitcoin. Ο δήμαρχος θέλει επίσης να επιτρέψει στους υπαλλήλους της πόλης να πληρώνονται σε BTC και να επιτρέψει στους κατοίκους να πληρώνουν για δημοτικά τέλη και φόρους στο αποκεντρωμένο νόμισμα.
The mayor later added that the city plans to launch a digital wallet in partnership with bitcoin exchanges to airdrop bitcoin earned through staking MiamiCoin in the Stacks protocol to its residents. Suarez ultimately hopes to enable citizens to use bitcoin and MiamiCoin as they choose, either to HODL or to spend in regular merchants on the street.
"MiamiCoin is based on the Stacks protocol that stacks on the Bitcoin blockchain, so there's all kinds of nexuses and involvement between one and the other," Suarez said.
However, the connection between Stacks and Bitcoin isn't as closely tied as the mayor believes. Stacks is an entirely separate blockchain, with its own mining system and consensus rules. The project can be considered a sidechain at best and differs altogether from the founding ethos of the Bitcoin project and what it sets out to achieve in society. Stacks also has its own token, which is mined as its holders receive bitcoin in a process Stacks calls "proof of transfer."
Stacks, therefore, relies on the willingness of bitcoin holders to exchange their BTC for Stacks Tokens in a one-way street, hoping for future gains as yield is generated from their "stacking" - a process that is not quite aligned with the incorruptible proof-of-work system that underpins Bitcoin.
Το νόμισμα πόλης προσθέτει ένα άλλο επίπεδο και το MiamiCoin εξορύσσεται καθώς οι «miners» ή οι «stakers» λαμβάνουν Stacks Token, παρόμοια με την παραπάνω διαδικασία. Αυτό δημιουργεί μια ενισχυτική και αυτοτροφοδοτούμενη «οικονομία», καθώς τόσο οι κάτοχοι όσο και η πόλη λαμβάνουν ανταμοιβές χωρίς καμία πραγματική δουλειά εκτός από τη στοίβαξη.
