In the recent development, the new Brazilian president took to social media to announce that his administration has shut down a project which was going to launch the ‘indigenous cryptocurrency’ of Brazil.
Jair Bolsonaro took office a week ago and criticized the project. The president claimed that the new government will soon open a black box (a reference made to the plane’s flight recorder) on such types of contracts. He referred to all the state-owned projects and contracts which were taken care of by bank BNDES and other similar institutions.
BNDES is a bank associated with Brazil’s Ministry of Development, Industry, and Trade and takes care of the long term projects which are aimed at developing the country.
The Inside Story
Through a tweet,Bolsonaro revealed that his administration has cancelled the project to create a digital currency for Brazil’s indigenous community. The $12 million project was stopped under the claims that the contract was not seemingly assigned through a proper bidding process, but was instead directly signed by the National Indian Foundation (Funai) and the Fluminense Federal University (UFF).
As revealed by Estadao, a local news outlet, the Minister of Human Rights, Family, and Women, Damares Alves, vetoed the cryptocurrency development project.
More on the project
The contract was recently signed on December 28 which was just three days before the mandate of the former president Michel Temer ended. According to the president of Funai, the contract was signed at that date because resources were only made available, through a bill, mid-December. Brought by a “Decentralized Execution Term”, the bill in question was never specified.
The goal of the project was the “study and diagnosis of socioeconomic viability of the creation of an indigenous cryptocurrency; development of the cryptocurrency platform; and implementation of that platform.”
It was indeed a project with potential, all because of the large amount of money involved. The idea was not just to develop a cryptocurrency, but rather also about developing functional mapping and a territorial database.
The proposed cryptocurrency was also regarded as an innovative idea as that would have primarily served as the alternative currency for the indigenous people to facilitate transactions and might have played a key role in transforming their lives.
The future of cryptos in Brazil becomes unstable
Globo reported that the Funai employees revealed that the work assigned was of ‘questionable technical relevance’ and the people who were hired without any technical analysis.
It would be interesting to see how things unfold soon, and we will keep an eye out on future developments. Cryptocurrency is a developing industry in Brazil. Around mid-December last year, the BNDES revealed that they were about to launch the first Brazilian stabecoin, called BNDES TOKEN, aimed at tracking the transfer of public money and at providing better transparency to the bank’s initiatives.
Recently, a cryptocurrency was launched by the Brazilian football club Atletico Mineiro for its fans. In a similar event, a local supermarket chain, Oasis Supermercados had started accepting Bitcoin Cash, Litcoin and Bitcoin payments, thus revealing the imminent mass adoption of cryptocurrency in the country.
One thing I want to say is that often before getting more laptop or computer memory, look at the machine directly into which it can be installed. When the machine is running Windows XP, for instance, the memory ceiling is 3.25GB. Installing more than this would simply constitute a new waste. Make certain that one’s motherboard can handle the upgrade quantity, as well. Interesting blog post.
Thanks for the helpful article. It is also my opinion that mesothelioma has an particularly long latency interval, which means that indication of the disease would possibly not emerge till 30 to 50 years after the original exposure to mesothelioma. Pleural mesothelioma, and that is the most common variety and is affecting the area across the lungs, may cause shortness of breath, torso pains, as well as a persistent coughing, which may bring about coughing up blood vessels.
Thanks for your tips. One thing I’ve noticed is the fact banks plus financial institutions know the spending behaviors of consumers as well as understand that many people max out their own credit cards around the breaks. They sensibly take advantage of that fact and start flooding your own inbox and also snail-mail box using hundreds of no-interest APR credit cards offers right after the holiday season closes. Knowing that when you are like 98 of American general public, you’ll leap at the chance to consolidate credit card debt and switch balances for 0 apr interest rates credit cards.

One thing I’d like to say is that car insurance termination is a hated experience so if you’re doing the best things as being a driver you will not get one. Some people do are sent the notice that they are officially dropped by their particular insurance company they then have to fight to get more insurance after the cancellation. Low-cost auto insurance rates are frequently hard to get from a cancellation. Knowing the main reasons with regard to auto insurance cancellation can help car owners prevent getting rid of in one of the most critical privileges out there. Thanks for the strategies shared through your blog.
