Title: [2016-02-05]UN Commission Calls On Caribbean to Become Digital Currency Hub
Post by: ukeden on February 05, 2016, 05:54:59 PM
The UN Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) has published a report examining digital currencies and how they can be used to address regional payments issues.

Written with the aim of providing local policymakers with a balanced appraisal of the benefits and risks of digital currencies such as bitcoin, the report examines the use of the technology in the Caribbean and discusses the broader context of its emerging use at the global level.

Notably, the paper recommends further exploration into the technology with the ultimate aim of turning the region into a FinTech and digital currency hotspot.

This can be good news, but if some conditions are respected, like the use of Bitcoin and not an altcoin...
