As the Blockchain space has grown, it’s started to be noticed by national governments.

There’s more money at stake than ever before. More people involved. Is the Blockchain a state-level concern? More specifically, Should cryptocurrencies like BitCoin be regulated? For some yes; for others, no; and from this, the debates begin. For the Canadian government, the question is whether or not to introduce a general, 5% sales tax into the sale of BitCoin.

And this is where the Blockchain Association of Canada (BAC) comes in.

The BAC is a non-profit interfacing between government and heads of industry to showcase the potential of Blockchain technology, including—and especially—BitCoin. BAC Executive Director Kyle Kemper explains: “It’s really important that companies can focus on building and know that they have some representation at the industry level.” The BAC lobbies for the interests of Blockchain companies as a whole, pushing an industry-wide agenda with Canadian policymakers and officials.
