Blockchain makes cryptocurrencies the inevitable future of money
“Blockchain makes cryptocurrencies the inevitable future of money.” These words of the Prime Minister of Malta — one of the most crypto-friendly countries in Europe and the world — might not be so interesting in and of themselves, if it were not for where they were voiced and the audience that heard them. This was in New York, at the regular session of the UN General Assembly, an organization that brings together nearly 200 countries and was created to support and strengthen peace and security and to develop cooperation between states. In fact, the UN is generally well disposed to many things related to blockchain technology. It is no accident that the opening of a fund to finance digital tokens was announced there just days ago, or that the French Committee for UNICEF has started accepting donations in nine cryptocurrencies. Even earlier, the UN had created a High-Level Panel on Digital Cooperation to place blockchain technology on the agenda. I believe that a dialogue on the future of digital currencies with the representatives of such a large, influential and, most importantly, crypto technology friendly organization is extremely important for the entire crypto community. Who knows, maybe the support of the UN will allow cryptocurrencies to finally take their place on the global market as an legal, alternative financial instrument.
