Important Decred Cryptocurrency News

A Brazilian girl is the world first birth registered on Decred blockchain

The certification was made via blockchain-based OriginalMy

A blockchain platform was used for processing the registration of a Brazilian-born girl, according to a local news outlet. Maria Júlia, the child of cryptocurrency enthusiast Edson Neto, has just become the world’s first birth ever registered on the Decreed blockchain.

Neto explained that he wanted his child to be born in the Chapada Diamantina region, in Palmeira City. So he traveled to the aforementioned city last Friday, only to find out that the office of vital records was only attending people until 2:00 p.m. Not wanting to wait for Monday only to get entangled with all the bureaucratic hassle that comes with that, he thought of using blockchain technology to register his baby.

And to this end, he resorted to the services of OriginalMy, a Brazilian blockchain-based startup that uses Bitcoin, Ethereum and Decred to register and certify records, acts, and other legal instruments.

“As a cryptocurrency enthusiast, I thought that nothing would be more suitable than registering the birth of my daughter in the Blockchain. To this end, I used the Decred blockchain via the authenticity services of OriginalMy.”

Neto continues saying that he chose Decred over Blockchain due to its better cost-benefit relationship, in comparison to Bitcoin and Ethereum. “If people were to compare the cost-benefits between the blockchains, they would realize that Decred blockchain is better than Bitcoin in this aspect.”

Brazil is house for one of the biggest Decred communities, and Neto noted how they were very supportive with his idea, helping them in every stage of the registration of Maria Júlia. “Decred has one of the largest crypto communities in Brazil, and I could count with their support for this process. Both Emílio (creator of the Brazilian Decred community) and Edilson (founder of OriginalMy) helped me to work on the procedure of this registration, together,” he stressed.
