“The Internet Party, an unregistered political party in New Zealand founded by German-Finnish entrepreneur Kim Dotcom, earlier this year, has made clear that, along with cheaper internet and more tech jobs, the party wants to introduce a cryptocurrency for international transactions that would work in parallel with the existing New Zealand dollar. The Internet Party’s proposed cryptocurrency would be ‘safe, secure and encrypted, providing for instant international transactions at minimal cost,’ according to the party’s website. Vikram Kumar, Chief Executive of the Internet Party, said that the proposed currency would not be outside of the New Zealand tax system.”
