India’s Regulatory Stance Regarding Cryptocurrencies

Nowadays, if you watch TV, you cannot miss the plethora of ads for cryptocurrency exchanges on every channel. Every time India takes (or loses) a wicket in the T20 World Cup, you have a Bollywood star trying to get you to invest in cryptocurrencies. They are everywhere and every-when!

Miami Mayor Will Accept Next Paycheck in Bitcoin

Miami mayor Francis Suarez has committed to taking his next paycheck in Bitcoin along with other city workers.　　Suarez Will Be Paid in Bitcoin　　In a Twitter comment today, Suarez noted that he would take his next paycheck in the form of Bitcoin.　　Suarez called on Chief Information Officer Mike Sarasti to help set up the payment. It is unclear whether Sarasti himself will accept Bitcoin.　　The decision is part of a larger opportunity available to all of Miamis municipal workers. In October, Suarez announced a plan that would allow city workers to accept their paychecks in Bitcoin. At that time, he called allowing workers to accept Bitcoin “a major priority,” adding that he wants to “differentiate [Miami] as a crypto capital.”　　The proposal could also allow residents of Miami to have the option of paying municipal fees and taxes by spending Bitcoin, if that plan is allowed by county regulators and authorities.　　Suarez additionally wants to see the city hold Bitcoin on its balance sheet, though this is not currently allowed in Florida cities.　　Miami Is a Crypto Hotspot　　Suarez previously helped the city launch its own cryptocurrency, MiamiCoin. The custom token was the first cryptocurrency to launch in partnership with the open protocol CityCoins.　　Outside of city
