The onslaught against the cryptocurrencies on the part of government authorities from all over the world, have not stopped since the announcement of the virtual currency of Facebook, Libra, which has been assumed as a threat against the monopoly on the monetary policy exercised by the governments. Up to now, in spite of the virulence with which on occasions some institutions and governments to attack the cryptocurrencies, the proponents of the same have not had a pathway through which to defend your position about the criptoactivos, beyond activism insulated, more oriented towards the dissemination of knowledge about the crypto world, that the political defense of this technology. However, in recent times has been operating a change in the advocates of the crypto world, those who have begun with increasing frequency to take the initiative to defend the benefits that bring the cryptocurrencies. This process has occurred in parallel with the institutionalization of the groups behind the criptoactivos. So, for example, we can see a Justin Sun, the creator of TRON and the TRON Foundation, organizing for high, a dinner with one of the most influential investors of today, Warren Buffett, to defend the cryptocurrencies in front of him and other important personalities of the financial world. Another important example of this proactive attitude is found in one of the largest technology companies, Blockchain, Ripple. This firm has achieved in recent times done with a niche within the financial market, traditional, thanks to partnerships with banks to the height of Santander, to make it more fast and efficient international transactions, using Blockchain and its criptomoneda, the XRP. And to defend this work in front of the last movements of the Congress of the united States, the head of the spear in the confrontation against the Pound and Facebook, Ripple has hired an aide to Congress, Ron Hammond as its new Manager of Government Relations, as announced by the own Hammond in a tweet:
Excited to announce that as of today, I am the new Manager of Government Relations for @Ripple! Thrilled to bring all of my legislative experience, including crafting the Token Taxonomy Act, to the team. Special thanks to @michellebond111 and @s_alderoty for this opportunity!— Ron Hammond (@RonwHammond) September 3, 2019
