Miami Bitcoin Hackaton

BLOCKCHAIN BEACH INITIATIVE

Why Bitcoin?

Bitcoin has changed the way we transfer value forever. It’s an open protocol that allows for innovation without permission. The code is open source and available to anyone to analyze or build upon. The technology of Bitcoin is revolutionary because it allows anyone to create digital scarcity without need for trusted third parties.

By removing trusted third parties, we can conduct transactions without the need to trust one another thereby making transactions of any digital property or value extremely efficient and secure. The Bitcoin network is agnostic and doesn’t care about user’s creed, place of birth, race or status – anyone can use Bitcoin. This provides exceptional potential and opportunities for so many revolutionary applications.

Why Miami?

Because of all the opportunity! Miami is a melting pot of many different ethnicities and it’s also a financial hub to Europe, Central and South America, and the Caribbean. Miami is one of the most unbanked and underbanked cities in the United States with one out of every five people without a bank account. Miami is also a tourist and international business hotspot; people from all over the world travel here for both business and pleasure. Bitcoin can allow anyone in the world to transfer value as long as they have access to the Internet.
