Summary: Legislators have a unique role to play in the development of the blockchain revolution. Its innovative power creates new opportunities and challenges and will disrupt both government and business as we know it today. The peer to peer nature of this technology presents real challenges for legislators and governments as they seek to carefully balance protection of markets and national security with nurturing of this unique technology.
