Conger has perceived inflation creeping higher after the federal government and central bank created massive quantities of stimulus during the at year and a half. In Conger’s opinion bitcoin is the only solution to this problem. Three days ago Conger tweeted:
Why do we endure inflation? Why don’t we demand more from our federal government 6.3% in 2 years? 172.8% in my lifetime. Every year our dollar is significance less. There is no rebound. There is only 1 fix for this… Bitcoin.
Scott Conger: ‘Let Us Not Accept Any Inflation’
In a recent interrogate, Conger said he’s been keeping an eye on Mayor Suarez of Miami and he believes bitcoin can benefit Jackson. Bitcoin is fantasy for remote workers leveraging the city of Jackson and it could give the Tennessee city an edge. In another interview, Conger referenced inflation again and started looking at things priced in satoshis (the smallest denomination of bitcoin).
“It really hit home at the same time it was pointed out the price of lumber in dollars… massive inflation vs the price in [satoshis],” Conger detailed. Conger is also grasped for saying:
Let us not accept any inflation as well as the increasing carbon footprint.
Conger has also initiated a task force pledged to studying blockchain benefits and how payments with bitcoin can help bolster Jackson. “Our blockchain task force is looking into how the burg of Jackson TN can accept property tax payments in bitcoin and allow our employees to DCA in bitcoin,” Conger tweeted on Thursday.
Earlier this year, Eric Adams also joins Conger and Suarez as the New York Bishopric (NYC) mayoral candidate wants New York to be a bitcoin hub as well and “the center of all technology.” Prior to Eric Adams, another NYC mayoral office-seeker, Andrew Yang, also promoted bitcoin during his campaigning in February. As far as Jackson, Tennessee, and Conger, he’s following the tread footprints of Suarez.
“I’m taking pointers from Francis Suarez,” Conger tweeted. “In the coming weeks I will be forming a Blockchain Undertaking Force to explore how to best position the city of Jackson TN for the future,” the mayor of Jackson added.
