Scott Conger, the mayor of Jackson, Tennessee sees Bitcoin (BTC) as a tool that can address the declining value of the US dollar. Conger says that he’s gravely concerned about the rapid rise of inflation in the country as he offers a way out of the US dollar’s deteriorating value.“Why do we accept inflation? Why don’t we demand more from our federal government? Every year our dollar is worth less. There is no rebound. There is only 1 fix for this… Bitcoin.”

Conger adds that the city is now exploring strategies to embrace the leading cryptocurrency. He added laser eyes on top of his Twitter profile photo, following a trend on social media that suggests support for the largest cryptocurrency.
