Miami tech started in 2020 when high-profile investors moved to South Florida. Soon after, Miami Mayor Francis Suarez began promoting Miami as a technology hub, coupled with south Florida’s no income state tax; it’s the perfect getaway for those who are used to silicon valley.
Best Spokesman of a major city… Mayor Suarez is pitching merch to support our #MiamiTech efforts. I love how we can move things forward while being a little silly and fun at the same time! https://t.co/Kk8tndLSAa

What began as a tweet has now turned into a campaign that asks the “techies” to join in and help make Miami better for the industry. Suarez responded to a tweet by Founder’s Fund director Delian Asparouhov. He asked, “What if we move Silicon Valley to Miami?” and Suarez responded with the viral tweet, “How can I help?”
Mayor Suarez has single handedly reformed politics Twitter.
First, politicians around the world now understand they can recruit constituents with their tweets.
Second, they now understand they can *lose* constituents with their tweets. https://t.co/S2M7dxI7Bh pic.twitter.com/pwqUjZCbZ9

Many people are commending to the pro-bitcoin mayor for utilizing Twitter in such a uniting and human way. Suarez stands out in the tech world as being the “How Can I Help?” guy as well as a forward-thinking Mayor on the front of bitcoin. As Ryan Hoover said, Gary Vee would be proud.
