Miami Mayor Francis Suarez said that he's still taking his paycheck in bitcoin despite the ongoing market volatility. Suarez, who leads the U.S. Conference of Mayors, first said just over a year ago that he’d become the first American politician to take his official salary in bitcoin, announcing the plan just days before the all-time high of $68,789. While the digital currency has declined about 76% since Suarez first announced the measure, he’s noted that his mayoral salary is not his only source of income as he also has jobs as a lawyer and with private equity.
