Vancouver City Council has voted 6-2 to explore the integration of Bitcoin into its municipal financial operations, marking a significant step towards becoming a 'Bitcoin-friendly city.' The motion, introduced by Mayor Ken Sim, aims to assess the feasibility of accepting Bitcoin for tax payments and establishing a public Bitcoin reserve.
