The Miami City Commission just voted in favor of accepting $4.3 million in protocol contributions generated by MiamiCoin, which is built on top of bitcoin.
Today marks a huge day for Miami, and a milestone for crypto.
MiamiCoin mining (the first of many @minecitycoins) generated this initial $4.3 million contribution in just over 1 month since launch.
Even better: This isn't just a one-time donation: Total contributions continue to grow as the MiamiCoin protocol continues to gain usage.
.@minecitycoins is leading the way out of the crypto casino, and straight into crypto civilization.
Importantly, MiamiCoin — and all future CityCoins — are built on Bitcoin via @stacks.

“There’s still that possibility that we could take additional pricing action to fully close the gap...So far, really, really good." - Chipotle CFO
Whirlpool won't be left behind:
“We are confident that sustained strong consumer demand and our previously announced cost-based pricing actions will offset the impact of global supply constraints and rising input costs." - CEO
If Peter Thiel's $5BN Roth makes him The Lord of the Roths, William Roth is the Rothfather.

2/ The former US Senator believed that if you work hard, save, and invest you should keep more of your hard-earned money.

3/ So powerful that Investing legend Peter Thiel was recently highlighted for (legally) accumulating a $5 billion tax-free Roth IRA.
