That being said, I observed that from the interview, it seems to me he hesitated before giving a response to the question. I must say that this is something that can be quickly misunderstood and misinterpreted most especially by critics and those who which to see bitcoin die if it reoccurs.
That is why he responds laughing as he can't answer yet if he is willing to take the risk and get his first Bitcoin paycheck.
he was laughing WHILST the news interviewer was still asking the question.
he was trying to respond whilst the news interviewer was still asking the question.
when he finally had a chance to speak
he started talking to give an answer, in 0.3 seconds after the interviewer asked. and he did actually say "yes i will be taking my first 3 paychecks in bitcoins"
the interviewer took 20 seconds to ask a question. and the mayor responded straight away answering each of the questions. and said he would take his first 3 paychecks in bitcoin within the 51st seconds of the video,
i seen no delay in responding, no hesitation
