What the Heck? Is Australia Going All In On Digital Technology?

Incredible news!

Scott Morrison drops the mic again today following the September 29th budget.

Australia to invest $800 million into digital technology.

Boom 🎤

COVID-19 has accelerated the adoption of digital technologies by countries around the world, but particularly in Australia. The government is seeking to make policies to enable this technology to thrive and our economy with it.

Here's what the Treasurer has to say.

“Our Digital Infrastructure package is estimated to increase Australia’s GDP by $6.4 billion a year by 2024 and around $1.5 billion of this additional economic activity is estimated to flow to regional Australia each year.”

That's why I have this blog, because the world is moving digital, and I want to help you know how to navigate it with success.

Watch Scott Morrison explain Australia's Plans here.

So needless to say, it was a HUGE day for digital technology in Australia.

On September 29th, 2020 The government committed the following funds to this booming industry.

• $9.6 million to support fintechs to export financial services and attract inward investment;

• $6.9 million for two blockchain pilots directed at reducing business compliance costs;

Things are moving fast. Today's video was focused on eCommerce, which of course will run on a form of currency, most likely a digital currency. All to help Australia recover and rebuild.

It can't be a coincidence, as this is all happening while the US is doing the following;

• Working on Crypto regulations

• Allowing Banks to hold Crypto for customers.

• Discussing Banks acting as Crypto Currency nodes

• Declaring Crypto as Critical for the Digital Arms Race against China

There is a lot going on behind the scenes in governments all around the world, racing to get blockchain technology to the point of mass adoption (meaning that a large majority of the population uses it in their daily lives).
