CRYPTO NEWS | The district in Florida became the first in the US, where taxes will be levied in the cryptocurrency.

"We live in a world where technology has provided access to on — demand services, with same-day delivery and the expectation of high-performance customer service, and we should expect the same from our government," Greenberg said, adding:

"The purpose of my tenure is to make our client faster, smarter and more efficient, and to conduct public services from the 18th century to the 21st century, and one method is to add cryptocurrencies to our payment methods."

The district hopes to save on fees, as banks and payment systems typically charge 2% to 3%, while BitPay has a fixed fee of 1% and no fee for the first million dollars processed.

In addition, BitPay offers the ability to instantly convert cryptocurrencies into dollars, so the end user, in this case the country, avoided volatility by receiving dollars.

Conflicting reviews of us citizens

Such a reaction to the surprise was universal support. Although there are some such as Maria T. Padilla from the Orlando Latino blog that says:

"Seminole residents have to pay property taxes with monopoly money, and everyone knows what it is: fake money."

Others, such as Chris Carmody, a shareholder in Florida's largest law firm, GrayRobinson, said:

"Greenberg's office is the first us government Agency to accept bitcoin for payment. Why not? Cryptocurrency, although unstable, is becoming more common. The future is today. Tax collection Bureau award for Seminole County for its adoption."

Larry Pino, a local attorney and entrepreneur, said:

"the decision to use cryptocurrency payments through BitPay reflects not only the comfort of the upcoming millennia with technology and its advanced applications, but also the benefits of cryptocurrencies in the future."

This is the first time in America and possibly, even worldwide that bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash are accepted for tax payments. This indicates a new stage, which included cryptocurrencies.
