Blockchains LLC is Coming to Nevada (Day 34: 2018-02-03)
While searching Google over the past week (to see whether Reno Blockchain is showing up in the first page), I began seeing articles talking about a blockchain company, called Blockchains LLC, buying land at the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center in Northern Nevada. I'm including links to the articles below.
"We have spent the majority of our legal careers protecting the average person and consumer. Through Blockchains, LLC, our primary focus is on ensuring that the technology is used in a manner in which the rights of consumers are properly safeguarded." -David Berns, President of Blockchains, LLC
The key highlights from these articles:
1- Blockchains, LLC is acquiring 64,000 acres in Nevada, at a cost of @ $175M, to showcase Blockchain applications based on Ethereum,
2- When completed, the corporate campus will consist of over 300,000 square feet at the TRI Center and could employ over 1,000 individuals by 2021, and
3- In June 2017, Nevada governor Brian Sandoval signed off on Senate Bill 398, which created a tax exemption for blockchain-based transactions.
