For the first time the US Congress has dedicated an entire section to cryptocurrencies and Blockchain technology in its annual Joint Economic Report, published March 13.
The 2018 Joint Economic Report contains analysis and recommendations for the coming year and dedicates an entire chapter to providing insight into the impact of cryptocurrencies and Blockchain on the US economy today.
The report calls 2017 “the year of cryptocurrencies”, pointing out that widespread concern over Bitcoin drove it to second place as a global news topic in Google’s Year in Search 2017.
