John Bartleman, CEO of TradeStation, expressed excitement about the transformation of Miami and envisioned the bull, with its crypto vibe and laser eyes, becoming the world's most famous and iconic statue.

Mayor Suarez, a vocal supporter of blockchain, aims to turn Miami into a thriving center for blockchain technology. From converting a paycheck to Bitcoin to launching the MiamiCoin token, he's been instrumental in making Miami a crypto-friendly city.

The giant robotic bull, with its powerful visual impact, is set to reside at Miami Dade College, serving as a monument to the city's embrace of crypto. As Miami continues to make strides in the crypto world, this iconic statue stands as a testament to the city's dedication to the future of finance.
