I know you take your mayoral salary in Bitcoin, or at least did, is that still the case?

I still do.

If you were to run for US President and win, you think you'd be able to get your salary

in Bitcoin?

I'm not sure.

That's a good question.

I'll tell you what, that would be a heck of an innovation.

I think just having a president that would want their salary in Bitcoin would be wonderful

for this country.

Because why?

It sends a signal that the President of the United States understands the transformational

nature of the technology.

There are technologies that have a generational impact, the internet, cell phones, things like

that.

This is one of those technologies.

I understand at the beginning, people are afraid of it.

They don't really understand it.

But I promise you that as you delve more into it, it becomes easier and more intuitive.

And certainly the generations that follow us, it will be simple for them.

Has there ever been a technology in the history of civilization that most people weren't scared

of at first?

I can't think of any.
