As the evidence of continuing growth of the Bitcoin industry, more and more professional institutions emerge in the ecosystem day by day. Today we speak about the Digital Currency Council that aims to drive professional advancement in the Digital Currency Economy “through training, certification, and ongoing practice and marketing support”.
The DCC was founded by a group of passionate digital currency enthusiasts and early adopters of Bitcoin in NYC, USA, and is financially supported by the Bitcoin Opportunity Corporation.
Who Should Join Digital Currency Council?
Financial professional who advise clients on how digital currency fits into their investment portfolios, attorneys who council customers on legal and regulatory matters related to digital currencies, accountants who manage the tax and reporting obligations of digital currency transactions, — all these types of people should consider joining the Digital Currency Council to make sure their practices are up-to-date with applicable legislation and standards.
Thus, one of the testimonials shown on the DCC website shows an example of how DCC helped a financial professional:
“A client approached me about digital currencies. They asked if Bitcoin should be part of their investment portfolio. I didn’t have enough knowledge to advise the client, but I joined the Digital Currency Council and now feel comfortable discussing the pros and cons of digital currencies with my clients.”
