This is incredible.

MiamiCoin has now generated over $10 million for the City of Miami, all built on top of bitcoin.

That’s $10 million dollars donated to the city government’s pocket to use on improving the city & quality of life of its citizens.

All from private citizens 👇🏼
When @FrancisSuarez was on the podcast last week he talked about the potential of this protocol eventually offsetting the entire tax budget for the City of Miami.

That seems crazy at first, but based on how quickly MiamiCoin is growing, that could be actually be a reality.
Only 3 weeks ago I tweeted about the City of Miami officially accepting MiamiCoin’s ongoing protocol donation.

At the time it had already generated $4.3 million for the city.

That’s nearly $6 million more raised in just the last three weeks … crazy.

Best of all, MiamiCoin is built on Bitcoin through a smart contract made possible by @stacks.

If you’re building a new type of civilization, it makes sense to settle on to Bitcoin as a base layer and ultimate ledger of truth.

Public, decentralized, and immutable.
And to top it all off, the city can earn millions of dollars worth of Bitcoin by “Stacking” their earned STX without taxing a single resident.

See my most recent interview with Miami Mayor Suarez:
All of this stuff is brand new.

No one knows exactly how it will play out, but it is really hard to ignore something so disruptive.

This will be worth continuing to pay attention to in my opinion.

I can’t believe I even have to address this, but here we go.

One of my goals is to help 10,000 people get hired in the bitcoin and crypto industry.

We have helped 100+ people get hired already and figured out a model that works.

Here is more info 👇🏼
1/ We started with a job board where companies can pay to list their open roles.

People can come for free to apply. Literally hundreds of thousands of applications have been submitted.

One company hired 30+ people off the job board this year, which is 4% of their workforce.
2/ Next, HR teams said they found great talent but not enough crypto knowledge.

We worked with HR teams to build a training program to help educate people.

One major company pays for every new employee to go through the program.

The average person has to make 10 good decisions in their life.

These 10 decisions ultimately determine how happy you are and how wealthy you become.

Here they are 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
1/ Most people don’t make big decisions before the age of 18.

The first big life decision you’ll face is around education.

Go to college? Skip it? Which school? What to study?

Get this right, you’re off to a good start.
2/ The second big decision is around what industry or market you focus on.

As the saying goes - good team meets bad market, the market wins. Bad team meets good market, the market wins.

Pick correctly here and you’ll have a lifelong tailwind propelling you forward.

Americans are getting robbed blind in their retirement accounts.

Don't believe me? Read on 👇
1/ In the last decade, target date funds have taken over retirement accounts. For people who get a 401(k) through their employer, this is often the only option.

According to Fidelity, 69% of millennials are 100% invested in target date funds in their retirement accounts.
2/ These are long-term funds whose asset allocation mix 'auto-magically' becomes more conservative as the target date approaches.

Not only do all these funds take fees for reallocating your assets, they barely beat the rate of inflation.

One of the main reasons that more public companies are not putting bitcoin on their balance sheet is because of the current accounting rules.

We have a chance to ask for those rules to be re-evaluated.

Here is what you can do (takes 3 minutes) 👇🏼

You can say something as simple as:

"I support the MicroStrategy position. Bitcoin should have Fair Value Accounting."

Wow!

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.

This gives all CityCoins superpowers.

Incentives drive the world.

This concept is frequently cited, but rarely productized.

I'm fascinated by how prediction markets can change that.

A few thoughts 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
We live in a world where "truth" has become highly controversial and debatable.

One idea is to financially incentivize the crowd to identify the truth.

This type of mechanism can essentially tell people to "put up or shut up."
Information markets like those on @PolymarketHQ let users make a return for correctly forecasting future events.

If you truly believe something is going to happen, you can risk capital on it.

If you're right, you win. If you're wrong, you lose.

The market is the referee.
