Governments in Blockchain
The Fourth Industrial Revolution is changing everything, from education, health, industry, war and the way of socializing. And this has been understood by companies, which compete daily for to implement in their processes, the new technology that has brought with it the TWENTY-first century. However, governments do not have the same rhythms that the society try to regulate. Thus, while the large companies of the world have become very adept in the use of artificial intelligence, automation, Blockchain. Most governments are still engaged in the type of policy and regulations that exist since the last century. This has given these governments a fundamental strategic decision. Therefore, the need of modernizing all of its structures of government has been clear. Therefore, they must decide whether to allow the development of new technologies to be led by the companies. If, on the contrary, they will try to take the control over this process. While countries like China have decided that the new technologies are above all and essentially a problem for the state. Other nations such as Estonia have led their companies to experiment and develop new capacities. A trend that I would also be trying to join Germany.

This has generated a real torrent of applications for permits to offer the custodians of cryptocurrencies. With more than 40 banks of Germany, desiring to obtain the approval of the BaFin. And far exceeding expectations, that the German government had in the update of the regulatory framework. “The market is growing faster than the Federal Ministry of Finance has predicted. This is both a blessing and a curse. The high demand shows that more and more companies accept the technology blockchain, but it can also be seen as a result of the new legislation,” said Frank Schäffler, a member of the Democratic Party Free. This not only shows the enormous interest that companies have in Germany to enter the crypto market.
