Watch Peter Van Valkenburgh Testify to Congress About Blockchain Tech

[voidmu]

Peter Van Valkenburgh, director of research at Coin Center, testified in front of the Congressional Committee on Energy & Commerce today.

It's interesting to see the level of knowledge of our congresspeople (minimal) and what is being talked about in our legislative branch.

Here are a couple clips on Twitter and also the full video on Youtube:

Thanks for the heads up @voidmu. The last thing we need is more government regulation - especially of our beloved crypto world!

Vegas baby! Arizona also passed a bill in favor of smart contracts and blockchain technology back in March. Looking like the West Coast is the place to be!
