Hi,

Christophe De Beukelaer announced that he will get paid in BTC. He posted a tweet that can be accessed here.

He would be the first European politician to accept BTC as a mean of payment. He is active in the Belgian Parliament and is coming from the French-speaking party Centre démocrate humaniste, short cdH. It is not a major party, as on the last vote they had only 3.7% of the votes.

The party is not important, the gesture is. He will be paid in €, but will change his salary directly into BTC on Bit4You. At the moment, the government won't issue payments in crypto.

His move might be a small step, in a small country that has some other major issues, but it is a step in the right direction.

If more people will adopt this method, especially parliament members, we will face another adoption point.

Of course, this parliament members need to push laws that are crypto friendly, where crypto is a mean of payment.

What do you think about his move? Do you think he will go on the long run with it?

Adoption is everywhere and still people are so bearish.

The world economy is struggling right now, but I still can't think of a currency that is better than crypto right now.

Well I see it as a smart move because he is investing in something that is likely to be worth more in the future. As for the long run, it depends but I think he could afford to live with it long term. He probably has enough reserves that he does not need to worry about living.

It could be the start of Crypto becoming more mainstream... governments needing to open up to paying in crypto, and easier ways of paying and accessing your money. Wouldn't it be great if we could go into a supermarket and pay in crypto at the tills rather than fiat !!!

He will be an advocate of crypto and any laws that are being made as well.

A small step - maybe more to follow?

This would be unbelievable if they did it everywhere, but the lack of education would cause everyone to despair and sell in a downtrend.

That's a good idea. That's also another way of advert, paying staff with BTC.

Thanks again for the report. Again missed the top commenters, but will try to get there this week.

One thing is that the trend, even if with the market drop is still growing or floating.
