RE: JUST IN: Pro-#Bitcoin Republican Miami Mayor Francis Suarez files paperwork to run for President of the US 🇺🇸

in #bitcoin11 months ago

Have you actually ever heard this guy speak? Vivek knows far more about BTC than the Mayor of Miami. The mayor is a pretty typical politician, but he likes "crypto" when things are going well. He got pretty quiet about it over the last year

Yes.

Suarez is a Bitcoin + cryptocurrency-friendly politician, who has promoted the development of Miami as a cryptocurrency hub.

In 2021, Suarez was included in Fortune magazine's "World's 50 Greatest Leaders" list. In September 2021, he revealed that his ultimate plan for the city of Miami is to abolish taxes…. he hopes to fund the city's activities via the issuance and continued mining of a city-specific blockchain token called MiamiCoin.

He also stated that Miami is looking to allow its residents to get paid in Bitcoin, and to be able to pay their taxes using Bitcoin.

In November 2021, Suarez became the first U.S. politician to take their salary in crypto.
