Digital payment platform Paxful has teamed up with Miami Mayor Francis Suarez and the Bitcoin Foundation for the upcoming Bitcoin 2022 conference in Miami. The three intend to sponsor a maximum of 500 people for the event to educate the local community about digital currencies.
Paxful is helping distribute 500 free tickets to the event to local colleges and universities as part of an initiative to improve financial literacy for underserved and minority communities in Miami.
Bitcoin 2022 Conference
The Bitcoin 2022 Conference is scheduled to take place between April 6 and 9 at the Miami Beach Convention Center. The agenda of the conference was published on 15 March.
At the moment, a general admission ticket to the conference costs $ 899.
Notable speakers at the conference include Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis, MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor, Cathie Wood of Ark Invest, and entrepreneur Peter Thiel. There will also be dozens of other Bitcoin influencers, investors and entrepreneurs who will lead the event.
The ticket giveaway will be led by Venture Miami, a portfolio team assembled by the mayor. The main objective of Venture Miami is to promote innovation, job creation and diversity in high-growth sectors such as information technology.
Mayor Suarez has made it his mission to advocate for the introduction of BTC in his second term. He is already receiving part of his salary in BTC, after announcing last December that he would begin to receive part of his salary in Bitcoin.
Suarez has also set up a program backed by the MiamiCoin cryptocurrency that will allow Miami residents to earn Bitcoin dividends. The MiamiCoin cryptocurrency project also helps to finance municipal projects through the generated revenues. By January 2022, it had generated revenues of over $21 million.
