The first week of April in Miami brings together all things crypto with two of the largest crypto events taking place: Miami NFT Week from April 1-3 and Bitcoin Conference 2022 from April 6–9.

In preparation for the conferences’ takeover of Miami, we’ve created the ultimate guide to Miami restaurants and hotels where crypto enthusiasts can pay with digital currency.
