  What do you think about the educational institutions that make up this group pool together to establish a government blockchain center of excellence that can solicit funds from governments for research grants?

  You are a global thinker, Gerard. Our SE Region Rising Blockchain GBA Global Chapter Leaders (Atlanta, Charlotte, RTP, Wilmington, Charleston should be exploring it with their Universities. Ive already informed UNC System thru Mark Lanier, Assistant to the Chancellor and Secretary Board of Trustees at University of NC Wilmington NC to explore on behalf of the UNC System since Chapel Hill is one of the selected universities.
