The cryptonized island nation
Earlier this year the unknown Marshall Islands took center stage due to the high levels of radiation. During the Cold War, the United States conducted a series of nuclear tests which brought high levels of radiation, higher than in affected areas from Chernobyl and Fukushima.
In the past few months theses islands have been talk about by everyone and blockchain is the cause. Isolated in the Pacific Ocean we find the Marshall Islands, with a population of over 70,000 inhabitants, this nation positions as the pioneer in the cryptocurrency area.

In the last conference in Singapore, the Minister of the Environment, David Paul, confirmed “With the blockchain technology in place, we thought this was an opportune time to establish our own legal tender” and in this way reduce the dependency on the nation of the dollar. On the other hand, he claimed that as a small country it’s going to be easier and faster for them to make decisions and respond to the market when the coin begins to be introduced.

According to Paul “the dollar will not disappear completely, at least not for now. People will still have the chance to use US dollar.”
