Hillary Clinton: Blockchain will lead a new generation of technological revolution

US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton recently publicly expressed her support for blockchain technology and encouraged its use in the public government sector.

Clinton, who is expected to win the Democratic presidential nomination next month, said during her campaign that the U.S. government should support the development of blockchain technology.

We must place innovators in an important position because they will lead the world in a new generation of technological revolution in the future. These technologies include driverless cars, machine learning, blockchain technology, etc. We should protect their innovative ideas.

Clinton said that if she were elected as the Democratic presidential candidate, she would reduce regulatory barriers for some emerging technology startups.

The following conclusions were drawn from this election:

Hillary will challenge the authority of government agencies, who always provide legal and regulatory barriers to the old system, and stand up for emerging technology entrepreneurs.

Clinton is the first recent US political party candidate to publicly support blockchain and other related technologies.

Last April, Republican presidential candidate Rand Paul announced that he would accept Bitcoin as campaign funding, and former Texas governor and presidential candidate Rick Perry followed suit.
