INDIAN STATE WILL INVEST $ 10 MILLION TO CREATE BLOCKCHAIN UNIVERSITY
The adoption of blockchain as an allied technology of complex communicational processes continues to rise. On this occasion, the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh established an alliance with Covalent Found to develop and promote a blockchain ecosystem in the country.
Government authorities seek to create a blockchain unit in the Vizag FinTech Valley with an initial investment of $ 10 million dollars to start with the pilot program, a plan that was originally launched during 2016 to unite government representatives, companies , investors, ventures and universities. In fact, it is planned to create a Blockchain University very soon along with Covalent.
The facilities can be used as an academic residency space for startups and project incubation groups, to allow them to develop their project until they become completely independent. They will also lend spaces for mass events and conferences.
According to local media reports, on January 16, 8 startups were chosen to participate in the Vizag FinTech Valley incubation program, to develop solutions for financial institutions, banks, insurance companies and stock companies.
Also, during 2017, the state government expressed interest in using the blockchain applied to the public management sector, announcing that some departments would move their data to the blockchain between 8 and 12 months from now; punctually, the land records and the public budget department.
It was the public land registry department that signed an agreement with the Chromaway company to work with this purpose, which was announced at the end of last year.
India has maintained a little open attitude with cryptocurrencies, but it does endorse the use of blockchain technology with multiple purposes, as the central bank of that nation assures.
If blockchain is "web 2.0" are national or private blockchains similar to the local networks or "intranets" that appeared in the 90's? I mean should a blockchain be border less? Does this question make sense to you? Will localized blockchains be as powerful as the more organic chains we have seen so far?
I think that technology is advancing by leaps and bounds, we do not know and maybe we will not know how powerful a blockchain chain could be, or if the networks will be private (I think that if there were so many prohibitions and regulations in many parts of the world).
In my opinion we should take advantage of what we can now, because at some point someone could disconnect the swich from the internet and return to the times of the candles to illuminate the home.
With my theme, I think that the more people learn to use the internet and get into the blockchain world, we would all win in a certain way, the value of the coins would rise, and maybe the poor way of life would end up in many countries , many hundreds of studies could be financed to end pandemics and other deficiencies.
