The reality of the blockchain technology and digital currencies is something far enriching and optimistic in terms of financial settlement and financial resolution is the reality we all needed at one point of our lives and the blockchain technology is absolutely giving us such a reality. Though in a more general term, the blockchain technology is very enriching and satisfying to some users like nations and companies, to others, it is not observed the same way and due to this, there is a question mark surrounding the blockchain technology for them, thereby bringing a reluctance in the establishment of the Blockchain technology and digital currencies in their countries or in their various organizations.

Due to this, countries like the Dutch government have taken the Blockchain technology exploration under serious and heavy scrutiny since they are scared of any eventual attack on their system thereby destabilizing the whole country’s economy leaving them vulnerable to more internal and external attacks be it in the form cyber manipulation.

Many countries prefer to take their time before getting fully in touch with the blockchain technology or any other related digital assets like digital currencies and cryptocurrencies like the renowned Bitcoin.
