"Blockcap has an aggressive growth strategy that is designed to create more jobs in the blockchain industry not just in the United States but also in our home state of Texas and our hometown of Austin. We're proud to be competing in this industry with a number of other high-quality firms, and we believe there is ample room for all of us to expand together and in turn provide broader, sustained economic growth at the local, state and national levels."

Blockcap Amps Up Advisory Board

Blockcap is focusing on expanding its core advisory team, with Jarvis Hollingsworth joining its advisory board. Hollingsworth is a prominent attorney and will bring his legal expertise to the company.

Feinstein Thrilled With Prospects Blockchain Brings

Feinstein is excited about the prospects blockchain technology can bring to the United States with the job prospects it can bring to its people. He also believes that blockchain has immense positive potential for Americans and people worldwide. He says,

"Currently there are roughly 60 million Americans who don't have access to bank accounts and roughly 1.7 billion people globally who are also unbanked. And we at Blockcap strongly believe that the blockchain industry as a whole will provide these unbanked people with the critical technology necessary for accessing the financial system."Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.
