Most Influential 40: Mayor Francis X. Suarez

We’ve had many big successes this year, from having our first employee to be paid in bitcoin to being the first mayor in the U.S. to accept their paycheck in bitcoin – but I think the biggest success of all has been staking a percentage of our MiamiCoin rewards to begin the process of giving a dividend yield to our residents. This initiative will not only empower all of our residents with the knowledge and understanding of bitcoin, but also, in the process, is creating a dynamic where the government is innovating and creating wealth to distribute to its residents.
