“‘The thing that’s really exciting about bitcoin is that, here in South Florida, we have a half billion people to the south of us who do not have access to a banking system that works well, capital markets, credit – things that we take for granted,’ said Charles Evans, business professor at Florida Atlantic University and one of the founders of the Miami International Bitcoin conference. ‘I fully expect that Miami could become the ‘Silicon Valley’ of small-scale international finance,’ said Evans, who will speak at the conference. ‘I defy anybody to do business in South Florida without doing international business.'”
