Coindesk [published an article](https://www.coindesk.com/us-government-awards-750k-new-blockchain-startup-grant/?utm_content=buffer559c2&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer) about the DHS investing **$749,241** to fund DigitalBazaar to create Blockchain crypto projects including *"digital credentials and digital wallets to address a wide variety of identity management and online access use cases."*

[DigitalBazaara](https://digitalbazaar.com) hopes to pioneer payment, identity, and credential technologies that will power the next generation Web.

This is all good news for us Crypto enthusiast as it shows government interest in the technology which could increase widespread adoption.

Important news! Thanks for putting this on Steemit! I'm hoping to see more and more of this kind of thing on Steemit so I can slowly wean myself off Twitter.  &#128565;
