The head of the Miami mayor's office criticized the US administration's policy towards bitcoin and spoke about the concept of "Bitcoin-America 2024".

The head of the Miami mayor's office criticized the US administration's policy towards bitcoin and spoke about the concept of "Bitcoin-America 2024" (Francis Suarez) at the conference, organized by Bitmain and dedicated to cryptocurrency mining, urged the audience to "come out" and elect to 2024 the year of the next President of the United States, which will support Bitcoin". And then he joked, what, perhaps, could be such a candidate:

"I was thinking: how can I grow up? And answered himself, what can I announce: I'm running... no, not this year".

The mayor of Miami said, that he wants to formulate a “vision of the country, related to cryptocurrency". He's reading, that Bitcoin supporters should be elected to various government positions, because these people will be able to create a favorable regulatory climate. The politician called for the integration of Bitcoin “into every area of ​​human life, including the use of cryptocurrency as a means of payment for the daily purchase of goods and services".

Suarez's desires extend further, than simply introducing the traditional use of Bitcoin in the economy. He wants, for society to work together to “unleash the macro power of Bitcoin”. Blockchain is necessary, says the mayor, для разрыва порочного круга бедности путем отделения его от некоторых федеральных монетарных политик.

«Биткоин обладает способностью демократизировать и создавать богатство для тех, who does not have access to banking services, for the poor in our community, which are being destroyed by inflation and unbridled government spending.", - Suarez said.

Мэр Майями раскритиковал отношение президента Джозефа Байдена к криптовалютам. Позиция администрации США по отношению к криптоиндустрии, рассуждает Суарес, указывает на то, that the authorities perceive cryptocurrencies mainly as a tool for tax evasion, money laundering, drug trafficking and terrorist financing, which is fundamentally wrong.

Suarez noted, that Biden has never openly spoken about Bitcoin publicly. His administration is largely indifferent and, it seems, completely misunderstands, what is the bitcoin network. Obviously, The Biden administration does not distinguish Bitcoin from altcoins, which betrays a disregard for any fundamental understanding of currency, the politician summed up his speech.

Recall, Майами стал первым муниципалитетом Южной Флориды, который принимает взносы в казну города в собственной криптовалюте MiamiCoin. According to the mayor, однажды взносы смогут заменить налоги. IN 2021 году он заявил, what the city cryptocurrency brought to the city budget $7 million.
