Title: Estonia to Launch the World's First Government ICO Post by: Vladdirescu87 on August 23, 2017, 09:45:04 PM The Republic of Estonia may become the first country in the world with a government-backed Initial Coin Offering (ICO) and its own crypto token – ‘Estcoin’.

Several years ago, the Estonian government launched an e-residency program that allows any person in the world to get a digital identity issued by the Estonian government and registered on the Blockchain.

I will have more trust issues with premined, centralized scam coins, created by anonymous people, rather than with one ruled by a government I personally voted for and I know who they are.

This is very good for them about tapping the cryptocurrency ICO's by utilizing this technology. A good way of getting funds through ICO.
