If you grew up down here and know the history of South Florida it's just a history of tech failing to launch since WWII. We have a giant runway in the middle of the Everglades for supersonic jets and space craft, and that fizzled. We have a decommissioned rocket plant and missile silos in Everglades National Park. The IBM PC was invented here, but IBM shipped that whole division to North Carolina. Miami could have a been a Silicon Valley when the valley got created during the Cold War but we lacked the leadership and funding.
So here we are trying to become the capital of crypto which I feel still won't make us another Silicon Valley but another Las Vegas.
