“Chief Bitcoin”

Vicco, Ky., has a population of roughly 330 people, making it one of the smallest towns in the state.

On Monday, December 2, 2013, the city commission adopted a proposal that would allow Vaughn to get his whole salary in Bitcoin, an alleged first in the United States, depending on current trading values at the time of pay and placed into a Vicco account.

​After that, the bitcoins will be sent to Vaughn's personal account. The city anticipates being able to pay Vaughn in this manner as soon as December 2013.
