Today, the new gold rush is advanced in technology, computers, and digital advancement, known as Cryptocurrency, with the common cryptocurrency being Bitcoin (BTC). One BTC can equal over $30,000 USD. Crypto has benefits that will help grow both the U.S. economy and build up communities. Additionally, as science, technology, innovation, and revolutions continue to be of of the the building blocks of the Rochester area, and as Rochester continues to pave the way for it's standing as a tech hub, Crypto will create millions jobs across the country (including hundreds of thousands between Buffalo and Syracuse), enhance and strengthen research, inject more tourism and small businesses into Western New York, radically reduce poverty, and allow the middle class to thrive.

​

Despite New York's rich abundance in resources, continuous restrictions made by the Hochul administration has impacted Upstate New York's potential in such innovation and has created growth stunt's in the rebounding of a post-Coronavirus era.

​

To invest in this amazing system, I will create a task force that will transition the Rochester landscape to adapt to crypto mining and digital currency work while ensuring that no taxes are involved. Furthermore, I will create federal legislation that will prevent states from restricting and/or stopping crypto mining for at least 50 years. Individuals and Businesses would also be encouraged to accept crypto as a form of currency including US Currency, and decentralized local currency.

​

Research on Cryptocurrency will be just as important as investing. To this end, concurrent with Grand Education Reform, I will also work with universities across Western New York to consider outcomes to better reflect recommendations while allowing crypto work to build and thrive.

​

Here is an example of how Cryptocurrency will benefit the Rochester area:

​

The Super Bowl in 2024 is held in Paradise, Nevada. The nearest Airport is in Las Vegas. An airline site accepts Bitcoin, one of the many Cryptocurrencies. I choose a round trip ticket between Rochester and Las Vegas.

After selecting to pay with Bitcoin, the Bitcoin cost is less than approximately 0.02 BTC, which would equal at or about the cost of the plane ticket, which was $750.11.

In this case, paying with Bitcoin is significantly cheaper, yet powerful than the U.S. Dollar. 

1 Bitcoin (BTC) would equal approximately the required annual income to live comfortably in the Greater Rochester Area.

​

As part of the plan to create the Henrietta Project (which would contain a rail hub for trains, maglevs, and hyperloops, as well as shops, restaurants, housing, medical offices, research centers, media centers, offices, and business centers, along with a dedicated linkage to the USPS office on Jefferson Road), a special floor will be designated as an open-source crypto mining center. In that floor, transmissions will be made to a dedicated tower in Downtown Rochester or at the Eastman Business Complex. The tower will be designated as the Western Hemisphere Cryptocurrency Stock Exchange (or the WHCSE, which will be the consolidated equivalent to the NYSE in New York City, the TSE in Toronto, Bolsa Mexicana in Mexico City, and Stock Exchanges in Central America, the Caribbean, and in South America), which will enhance investment and equity exchanges and allow people and businesses to build and invest in wealth and quality of life. Such a model could potentially open the door to Crypto Stock Exchanges in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. As such, it will result in more local jobs unimaginable and the lowest unemployment rate in the history of the United States, along with a positive trigger effect for Central and South America that will encourage citizens to stay and prosper, rather flee to cross illegally, thus protecting America and those who work legally in the country.
