The pro-bitcoin mayor has led several bitcoin initiatives in his city and state. His salary is already paid in bitcoin and his city employees can choose to be paid in bitcoin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI need to articulate a vision for this country,\u201d he said. \u201cThe vision is simple. I call it: Vision for Bitcoin America 2024.\u201d Suarez explained that it has three points, stating:<\/p>\n<p>The first is we need to elect pro-bitcoin candidates, and yes the next president of the United States has to be a pro-bitcoin candidate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause what\u2019s at stake is federal legislation that can either propel us into the next generation or can set us back,\u201d the mayor emphasized.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s one thing the United States should never do: it should never agree on anything with Russia and China when it comes to bitcoin,\u201d he continued, elaborating:<\/p>\n<p>The second thing we need to do this year is we need to integrate bitcoin into every aspect of our society, every part of the fabric of our society. We need to make sure that you can go into a convenience store and buy a Snickers with a satoshi.<\/p>\n<p>Mayor Suarez proceeded to highlight his third point. \u201cThe last thing that we need to do is: we need to unleash the macro power of bitcoin,\u201d he said. \u201cBitcoin has the power to democratize and to create wealth for the unbanked and for the poor in our community who are getting decimated by inflation and government spending that has gone rampant.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The pro-bitcoin mayor noted: \u201cIf you have a bank account today, guess how much interest you\u2019re earning \u2014 zero. And it\u2019s worse than that because of inflation. Someone is sticking a hand in your bank account and taking money out because the purchasing power of your fiat currency, the fiat currency of the world, is being diminished.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He stressed:<\/p>\n<p>So we have to lean into this generational wealth creation opportunity so that the poor in our community don\u2019t get left behind like they always do when the government intervenes.<\/p>\n<p>Suarez noted: \u201cWe have to understand that bitcoin has a possibility of being able to allow for people to transmit money outside of the banking system efficiently and quickly and give people in countries that are dominated by, in many cases, socialist and communist regimes the ability to untether themselves from that control, and be able to be free and be able to spend money in their countries and buy goods without having to worry that the currency that they\u2019re using is being controlled by the very government that controls all of their decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stressing that \u201cWe want to create a world that has economic peace and prosperity \u2026 Bitcoin has been a factor for good across the world,\u201d he concluded:<\/p>\n<p>We want a world of freedom. We want a world where people can choose their own destiny, where their tomorrows are better than their yesterdays \u2014 and I plan to be a part of it.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>What do you think about Mayor Suarez\u2019s comments?
