Miami Readies For Largest Bitcoin Conference In History

On Wednesday, crews were putting the final touches on the Bitcoin 2021 Convention, the world's largest-ever crypto-currency conference to be held this weekend at the Mana Convention Center in Wynwood. CBS4 Miami reports: Miami's crypto conference is expected to draw 50,000 people. The convention runs from Friday, June 4 through June 6th. The conference places Miami firmly in the landscape as the new Silicon Valley. "Miami is becoming the new capital of capital. It's becoming an innovative hub. It's becoming a tier 1 city of venture capital and innovation," said Brock Pierce. "A lot of the best and the brightest from Silicon Valley and New York have moved their businesses and their firms here." And Brock Pierce should know. He's the chairman of Bitcoin Foundation who has "mined" his way through the crypto world. Oh and by the way, he's a billionaire. "Mayor [Francis Suarez] has done an incredible job of saying 'come here, Miami is the place.' As a result of it, this has become the most important city in the United States," Pierce says.
