纽约市市长 Eric Adams 和 OBJ 加倍押注比特币，宣称“现在谁在笑？”

纽约市市长埃里克·亚当斯 (Eric Adams) 重申了他对比特币的支持，这反映了他在 2022 年首次决定将薪水兑换成加密货币时所面临的怀疑。

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has doubled down on his support for Bitcoin, reflecting on the skepticism he faced when he first decided to convert his paychecks into cryptocurrency.

纽约市市长埃里克·亚当斯加倍支持比特币，这反映了他第一次决定将薪水兑换成加密货币时所面临的怀疑。

At a recent media event, Adams said, “We should not be afraid of Bitcoin. Remember y’all laughed at me when I first got my Bitcoin? Who’s laughing now? Go look at my Bitcoin now.”

亚当斯在最近的一次媒体活动中表示：“我们不应该害怕比特币。还记得我第一次拿到比特币时你们都嘲笑我吗？现在谁在笑？现在去看看我的比特币。”

The mayor's remarks come after he converted his first three paychecks as mayor into Bitcoin (BTC) and crypto in 2022. The move drew both praise and criticism, with many questioning the viability of the decision during a volatile market period.

这位市长发表这番言论之前，他于 2022 年将担任市长的前三笔薪水兑换成比特币 (BTC) 和加密货币。这一举动既受到赞扬，也遭到批评，许多人质疑这一决定在市场动荡时期的可行性。

Addressing his critics, Adams said, “You all mock me… Now you wish you would have done it.”

亚当斯在面对批评者时说：“你们都在嘲笑我……现在你们希望自己能这么做。”

Per the event, Adams sees cryptocurrencies as tools for innovation and economic empowerment, particularly in underserved communities.

根据该活动，亚当斯将加密货币视为创新和经济赋权的工具，特别是在服务不足的社区。
