Florida Tax Collector to Accept Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash Payments
A Florida county tax collector has partnered with bitcoin payments processor BitPay to accept cryptocurrency for a variety of services.
Seminole County Tax Collector Joel Greenberg said in a statement Monday that his office will take bitcoin and bitcoin cash for payments associated with driver licenses and ID cards, automobile tags and titles and property tax.
The office decided to accept the cryptocurrencies in an effort to streamline fee collection, reduce the potential for fraud and identity theft and increase the transparency and accuracy of payments. Greenberg's office added that it does not perceive any "price volatility or risk to the County" in accepting the cryptocurrencies.

https://www.coindesk.com/florida-tax-collector-accept-bitcoin-bitcoin-cash-payments/it is really odd for a government to accept crypcurrency because many governments scared and dont trust cryptocurency and they are partner with some Banks. they take the risk of having a volatile currency as their medium of payment.
but if the price of Bitcoin dump and took a long time to recover maybe it will be ban by their government
