Christophe De Beukelaer, a member of the Brussels Parliament, has stated that he will receive his entire salary in Bitcoin this year. He predicts that crypto usage would be “exponential,” and that the technology will affect all industries. Belgian MP Says He will Get His Entire Salary in Bitcoin – ‘We Can No Longer Remain Ignorant of This New World’ The lawmaker explained that ‘ with the blockchain, we are at the dawn of a revolution of the same order as what we experienced with the internet 30 years ago.’ He believes that all sectors ‘will be disrupted,’ adding that in other countries, ‘large institutions are beginning to invest massively in crypto assets in order not to miss this gigantic opportunity.’ Noting that “it is the role of politicians to make the population aware of these societal changes that are coming,” he stressed: “We can no longer remain ignorant of this new world.
