Amazing that people still question whether blockchain and, in turn, cryptocurrency, are actually going to take off.  The FUD leads people to believe this is a mirage.


Yet all the different entities that are experimenting with it makes it a completely different story.  Private and public development is exploding.

The technology is simply too good to pass up...it really can streamline most operations while providing (potentially) better security.

This kind of pilot is so important to our future. Great to see it happening.

Interesting that it took a $5 million bribe to get cities to look at this. I just hope they don't tie it to implanting a chip (that can't be stolen) into the homeless...

Good implementation! Blockchain technology can also be used as proof of identy for refugees and other groups that today have trouble with this.
