California Councilman Phillip Chen has appointed the nonprofit organization Proof of Workforce to work on various Bitcoin-related projects. The initiative aims to integrate Bitcoin into California’s infrastructure and enhance understanding of its role in the economy.
The Role of Proof of Workforce
Under Phillip Chen’s direction, Proof of Workforce aims to boost education and community participation by providing consultancy to policy teams. They will explore how Bitcoin can support and restructure California’s infrastructure and communities.
Previous Achievements
Last summer, Proof of Workforce partnered with the City of Santa Monica to open an official Bitcoin office. According to Santa Monica Mayor Lana Negrete, the office has seen 'overwhelming interest' since its opening, and other municipalities have reached out to learn about their Bitcoin initiatives. These initiatives are laying the groundwork for the widespread adoption of Bitcoin, and Proof of Workforce is seen as one of the initial steps supporting Bitcoin integration within California’s government.
Future of Bitcoin Integration in California
Dom Bei and Proof of Workforce continue to work on integrating Bitcoin into public sector jobs, unions, and other organizations. They assist these organizations in acquiring and securing their Bitcoin keys while helping them understand Bitcoin as both an asset and a network, aiming to create a real impact on daily life. California is beginning to integrate Bitcoin into its governance, and considering the United States’ approach to Bitcoin, this trend is expected to persist in the coming years.
Collaborations between Proof of Workforce and the California government are regarded as a significant step towards local Bitcoin adoption, aiming to explore how Bitcoin can support economic and social structures.
