Following the Strike announcement, City of Miami CIO Mike Sarasti publicly asked that he be paid in Bitcoin on Friday, October 15. He also declared on his official Twitter account that he might be a guinea pig for the application and provided the necessary paperwork.
It was clarified in the announcement that this isn’t a recommendation to go all-in on bitcoin. This is the process of taking your salary and the money you intend to save and allowing you to save in a way that can keep up with inflation and the cost of living.
Due to the sheer efficiencies that bitcoin has reached as a currency, everyone now has the ability to improve their quality of life by being able to be paid and save the best money of all time. Everyone now has access to the most advanced method of saving and investing for their future with Strike. Strike’s goal is to help people achieve financial independence and create a more financially connected society.
The Lightning Network is freely accessible and useful, thanks to Bitcoin. Pay Me In Bitcoin seeks to allow customers to convert a portion of their salary into bitcoin for free, allowing them to save money, grow their wealth, empower them economically to improve the quality of their living.
