Click to download audio version This week on the Bitcoin Magazine
Podcast, host Christian Keroles sits down with the Mayor of Jackson
Tennessee Scott Conger to discuss Scott’s recent interest in Bitcoin. Scott has
been the Mayor of Jackson for a few years now and is actually the 3rd
person in his family to serve as Mayor of Jackson. Mayor Conger has a
very long term commitment to the community in Jackson and wants to see the best
for his city. Scott sees Bitcoin as an ideal way for his city to secure its
financial future as well as to encourage young remote tech workers to lay down
roots in Jackson. The Pandemic and remote work have revealed a massive
opportunity for small to medium sized cities to compete for tech talent and work
when they used to be crushed by the major tech hubs like San Francisco and New
York. Mayor Conger has been watching Mayor Suarez of Miami closely and taken the
cue from him to dive into how embracing Bitcoin can help his city be more
competitive. Christian and Scott reflect on how bitcoin has been relatively de-
risked and how his education into Bitcoin taught him more about what is wrong
with the current system. Please enjoy this wide ranging conversation Mayor Scott
Conger! If you want to read more about Mayor Conger and Jackson Tennessee read
