CRYPTOGRAPHIC SECURITY
BitcoinBlockchain: Is This An Investment For You?

Editor's Note: In this article, UCO president Dave Israel, who worked 30 years for the NSA (National Security Agency), takes up a subject on the cutting
edge of technology that is already being implemented by governments and businesses. It will affect you, the consumer, as you make financial and other decisions
regarding the services you sign up for. We suggest you read it carefully, perhaps cut it out for future reference, and at least familiarize yourselves with the terms
and capabilities discussed.
