On Wednesday, Rep. Gabe Amo’s office issued a press release stating that Rep. Amo and Kim (R-CA) had reintroduced a bipartisan resolution in support of the use of distribution ledger technology (DLT), including blockchain.
The resolution (which was not linked in the full text in the press release) urges federal agencies to explore and support DLT, and expresses Congress’ commitment to advance responsible innovation in this technical aspect.
Rep. Kim commented on the importance of this technology in his press release.
“US leadership in emerging technologies like blockchain will not only improve American lives, but also help to improve the transparency of foreign aid, human rights and freedoms in the United States around the world,” said Rep. Kim.
“The law is proud to lead the two-party resolution, particularly to see China’s Communist Party exporting surveillance technology and authoritarianism overseas, so that the United States shines as a beacon of hope, freedom and innovation at the global stage,” she added.
The press release also cited how Bitcoin blockchain protects election outcomes, provides transparency to voters, and links to this article to tell the story of the event.
Simple evidence, the company that helped Screen County officials vote for the immutable Bitcoin blockchain recently supported Republicans in Williamson County.
Simple evidence was placed on the map when it helped to ensure the outcome of the latest presidential election in Guatemala. Thanks to vote counting from elections protected by Bitcoin blockchain, election integrity was supported despite efforts to tamper with physical votes once the votes are finished.
The work the company has done both in the US and overseas is proof of the Points Congressman created in a press release.
“Innovative technologies like blockchain will help promote transparency around the world and strengthen democratic institutions,” the lawmaker said.
The press release provided evidence that Bitcoin blockchain is being used to maintain democratic value, but did not distinguish between Bitcoin and other blockchains.
The bipartisan law that this post was proposed recognizes Bitcoin as a technology that supports democracy, first appeared in Bitcoin magazine and written by Frank Colva.
