A year ago, when the annual bitcoin conference opened in Miami, the city was arguably the country’s biggest booster of digital currencies. MiamiCoin traded on a global crypto exchange. The Miami Heat basketball team played at FTX Arena, and cryptocurrency exchange Blockchain.com was preparing to move its headquarters to a splashy office in the city’s Wynwood neighborhood. Today, as Miami prepares to host Bitcoin 2023 on May 18, none of those things is true anymore.
THE MEDIA has a fixation with what it calls Florida Man. Some choice headlines include: “Florida Man Throws Gator Through a Wendy’s Drive-Thru Window” and “Florida Man Fills Car With Frozen Iguanas To Cook, But They Thawed, Woke Up and Attacked Him.” You’d be forgiven for assuming that residents of the Sunshine State are more concerned about what might eat them than what they could eat.

ON THE Treasure Coast north of West Palm Beach, it’s not just shell art and shopping-for-oranges anymore. The diverse stretch is a local secret for boaters and those seeking a full-stop Old Florida vacation but also for a new wave of home buyers. A traditionally sleepy region, it gets its name from a Danae’s-shower of Spanish gold that pelted the beaches in the 1700s when a fleet of galleons was lost in a hurricane.
Michael Burrage liked Fort Lauderdale ever since his first visit as a college student in the 1970s but bought a home there only in March 2022, when the latest addition to a burgeoning luxury market, Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences, opened in the Florida beach town. Last spring, with the slowdown on the horizon, Mr. Burrage spent $13.45 million to buy three condominiums in the complex’s yacht-shaped building on the Atlantic Ocean. Mr. Burrage, 72, co-founder of Oklahoma City-based law firm Whitten Burrage, said he trusted the chain’s brand and had studied sales and resale prices at its other residence projects, including one in Miami.
