Northwest Arkansas Council is made up of business leaders who are committed to promoting regional development. They have announced a program for crypto entrepreneurs and tech pros to be able to work remotely.

Nelson Peacock, the council’s president and chief executive officer was announced Wednesday. This area will be seeking to increase its talent pool in the tech sector by offering 10,000 in (BTC) — roughly 0.23 BTC at the current price of $43,610 — in addition to a bicycle or membership to arts and cultural facilities. The “Bitcoin and a Bike” program, the next stage of the area’s Life Works Here initiative, is specifically aimed at embracing professionals in blockchain-related fields. The program will offer the crypto incentive to qualifying individuals willing to live for at least a year in Northwest Arkansas — presumably close to the cities of Fayetteville, Springdale, Rogers (NYSE:) and Bentonville.
