Blockchain Is Mentioned In The Coalition Agreement Of The Future Government Of Germany

in #politics6 years ago (edited)

Surprise, who would have thought that? The diehard conservatives talk about the blockchain.

Originally the coalation agreement is written in German, but here is a translation:

In addition, there are other research areas such as artificial intelligence, data science, digital humanities and blockchain technology, robotics and quantum computing.

We will eliminate unnecessary bureaucratic obstacles and ensure that transactions with the same risks are regulated at the same time. To unlock the potential of blockchain technology and prevent abuses, we want to develop a comprehensive blockchain strategy and advocate an appropriate legal framework for cryptocurrency and token trading at European and international level. The possibilities of cashless payment are to be extended in the digital age. Anonymous payment with cash must remain possible.

In the Federal Government we will test innovative technologies such as Distributed Ledger (Blockchain) so that a legal framework can be created based on these experiences.

We intend to continue and expand existing technology programs for application-oriented research to promote cutting edge digital technologies such as quantum computing, robotics, autonomous systems, augmented reality (3D virtualization), blockchain, visible light communication and smart home.

What do you think? Empty chatter or even nonsense with sauce?

My modest opinion: Sounds really great and super fancy futuristic. But I will not believe it anyway. Because the two coalition parties are well known for empty promises and eternal standstill. In order to be really progressive, the fixed idea of ​​a government would first have to be overcome. No power for no one and limitless love for all! <3
