Established in early 2017, in Washington DC, the GBA is an International Professional Association and a US-based non-profit, membership organization that consists of individuals and organizations. GBA creates relationships that would otherwise not come about – between and among technologists, public policy makers, application specialists and those who simply need to understand the new and emerging digital currencies that will change the world. GBA will act as a catalyst in creating a public dialog around the creative, profitable and positive leveraging of blockchain.
