Digital payment platform Paxful has partnered with nonprofit organization Built With Bitcoin Foundation and Miami Mayor Francis Suarez to advance a new education initiative centered around Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) and financial literacy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The initiative will disburse free tickets to the Bitcoin 2022 conference to local colleges and universities as part of a broader effort to enhance financial literacy among the minority and underserved communities in Miami. Up to 500 students and local residents will receive a ticket to attend the conference, which is scheduled for April 6\u20139 at the Miami Beach Convention Center. <\/p>\n

Currently, general admission tickets for the event are being sold for $899. <\/p>\n

Recipients will have access to the conference\u2019s full agenda, which was unveiled on March 15. Notable speakers at this year\u2019s event include Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele<\/a>, MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor<\/a>, United States Senator Cynthia Lummis, entrepreneur Peter Thiel and Cathie Wood of Ark Invest. Dozens of other Bitcoin influencers, entrepreneurs and investors will also headline the three-day event. <\/p>\n

The ticket giveaway is being spearheaded by Venture Miami, a portfolio team that was assembled by Mayor Suarez to promote innovation, job creation and diversity in high-growth sectors such as information technology. <\/p>\n

After learning about Bitcoin from crypto influencers<\/a> like Tyler Winklevoss and Anthony Pompliano, Mayor Suarez has made BTC adoption a top priority in his second term. Suarez, who already receives a portion of his salary in BTC, announced in December that he plans to take a part of his 401(k) payout<\/a> in the flagship cryptocurrency as well. <\/p>\n

Suarez has also set up a program where Miami residents can earn a Bitcoin dividend. The program is being facilitated by the MiamiCoin cryptocurrency, which helps fund municipal projects by generating yields. As of January 2022, MiamiCoin had generated more than $21 million<\/a> in excess yields for the city.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
