Officially endorse the use of Bitcoin as a payment option in NYC stores

The Issue

Bitcoin is growing in popularity as a secure, independent electronic currency with low transaction fees and infrastructure costs for industry, individuals, and small businesses. Official political endorsement of the use of Bitcoin as a method of payment in New York City stores will support local small business through driving the adoption of mobile electronic payment with reduced fees. As an international center of finance and technology, New York City can lead the way in transitioning a burdgeoning electronic currency to mainstream use.
