<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="vancouver-bitcoin-proposal-to-implement-crypto-in-city-s-coffers">Vancouver Bitcoin Proposal To Implement Crypto in City's Coffers</h2>  
<p>A motion called "Preserving the City's Purchasing Power Through Diversification of Financial Reserves - Becoming a Bitcoin-Friendly City" will be presented before the Vancouver City Council in their December 11 meeting by the newly installed Mayor Ken Sim.</p>  
<p>The Vancouver Bitcoin proposal would instruct city staff to research possible uses of the coin, including accepting taxes and fees in the cryptocurrency and converting portions of the city's financial reserves into digital assets. Sim's ABC party, which holds a majority on the council, will likely ensure the motion's passage.</p>  
<p>Vancouver has a rich history of innovation in the cryptocurrency space; in 2013, the world's first Bitcoin ATM was installed, and it is home to major blockchain startups such as <a href="https://coincu.com/254845-dapper-labs-investigation-targeted/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Dapper Labs</a>. The motion mentions other jurisdictions that have successfully implemented such ideas, like <a href="https://coincu.com/291532-el-salvador-bitcoin-investment/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">El Salvador</a>, which adopted <a href="https://coincu.com/295562-bitcoin-price-drops-7-after-historic-100k-surge/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> as a legal tender in 2021, and Zug, Switzerland, where Bitcoin is legal to pay for taxes.</p>  
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="debate-over-environmental-and-economic-impacts-of-bitcoin-mining">Debate Over Environmental and Economic Impacts of Bitcoin Mining</h2>  
<p>Proponents say adopting the Vancouver Bitcoin proposal could help shield the city's financial reserves from traditional currency risks like inflation and volatility while signalling that it's friendly to innovation.</p>  
<p>The move also claims environmental benefits to Bitcoin mining, including that it can repurpose wasted energy from renewable sources and waste methane, contributing to emission reductions.</p>  
<p>Yet, some critics voice concerns regarding the environmental impact that comes along with cryptocurrency mining. The Canadian province of British Columbia, home to Vancouver, has issued a temporary moratorium on new cryptocurrency mining projects in 2022 in an effort to preserve hydroelectric supplies.</p>
