• Technology You Can't Afford Not To Include In Your Budget

  9/4/2018

  The end of 2018 is fast approaching, and that means healthcare practices are making plans for the upcoming year.

The regulatory efforts surrounding blockchain technology are no different. Since Bitcoin’s first appearances in national news, most of the federal regulatory debate has revolved around definitional questions, like whether cryptocurrencies should be defined as investment property (like stocks) or as currency.

As this understanding grows, so do the issues in the regulatory debate.
