The United States offers a position as an expert intern in blockchain, which will carry a lot of weight in future decisions of the Department of State regarding this technology.
Governments and regulatory bodies are showing great interest in blockchain, also known as distributed ledger technology or smart contracts. The United States is working intensively in this field, which originated with cryptocurrencies but is expanding into other important areas, with a scope far exceeding initial expectations and the potential to revolutionize the financial world. The U.S. State Department is reportedly seeking an intern to participate in its new project, Blockchain@State.
What this initiative seeks is to carry out a study and monitoring of the solutions based on the blockchain that are developed in the country, controlling their evolution and development, as well as the applications and the different uses of said solutions. This job offer was launched through the Virtual Student Foreign Service (VSFS) portal, where interns are directly linked to the government. According to the application, the perfect candidate would be one who combines an interest in technology and foreign policy, as well as having good communication skills. You must have knowledge of the subject, in addition to having a solid level of writing, research and political analysis.
The role of this intern will have a lot of relevance with regard to the position of the Department of State regarding the blockchain. The reports that this user developed for the US government will be very important to carry out future conversations and research regarding this technology together with the Office of Associations and the partners with whom they work to develop a system based on Blockchain technology. . Both the job offer and the Blockchain @ State project show the clear interest of the United States in technology, to which we must also add legal initiatives such as the state of Nevada, although there are obstacles in the country for the regulation of cryptocurrencies and the blockchain.
