A member of the Brussels Parliament, Christophe De Beukelaer, says he will receive his entire salary in bitcoin this year. He believes that the technology will disrupt all industries and crypto adoption is going to be \u201cexponential.\u201d \n The lawmaker explained that \u201cwith the blockchain, we are at the dawn of a revolution of the same order as what we experienced with the internet 30 years ago.\u201d He believes that all sectors \u201cwill be disrupted,\u201d adding that in other countries, \u201clarge institutions are beginning to invest massively in crypto assets in order not to miss this gigantic opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n Noting that \u201cit is the role of politicians to make the population aware of these societal changes that are coming,\u201d he stressed:\n<\/p>\n We can no longer remain ignorant of this new world. It\u2019s a bit like clinging to the carriage or the candle as cars and light bulbs appear. Adoption is going to be exponential.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \n The lawmaker opined:\n<\/p>\n I am the first in Europe, but not in the world, to want to shine the spotlight on cryptocurrencies with such an approach.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \n \u201cI think it\u2019s not too late for Brussels and Belgium to be at the forefront of the cryptocurrency industry. We already have some great companies in the field \u2026 but it\u2019s time to position ourselves clearly and create a real ecosystem,\u201d De Beukelaer concluded.<\/p>\n What do you think about the lawmaker planning to receive his entire salary in bitcoin?
