Estonia to Launch the World's First Government ICO

Wed Aug 23, 2017 11:46 pm

The Republic of Estonia may become the first country in the world with a government-backed Initial Coin Offering (ICO) and its own crypto token – ‘Estcoin’.

Estonia is one of the leading countries in Eastern Europe that develops and welcomes FinTech innovations. Several years ago, the Estonian government launched an e-residency program that allows any person in the world to get a digital identity issued by the Estonian government and registered on the Blockchain. The project aims to build a new digital nation, powered by the Republic of Estonia. It allows e-residents to receive the advantages of authenticated online identity along with a smart ID-card issued by Estonian Police and Border Guard Board and access Estonia’s public services online, and even start and run a trusted company online.

The Republic of Estonia... ‘Estcoin’...It allows e-residents to receive the advantages of authenticated online identity along with a smart ID-card issued by Estonian Police and Border Guard Board and access Estonia’s public services online, and even start and run a trusted company online...
(emphasis mine)

I will have to think more about that but I'm not sure that that is an 'advantage' at all, or even anything good at all.

In any event thanks for sharing the article with us here at the the Bitcoin.com forum.
