One of the main goals is Systematization of the previously available information about Bitcoin and that it is distributed in various formats and platforms, in addition to constantly monitoring and updating the development of the digital currency.
The Institute will seek to accommodate this changing nature (of Bitcoin) by incorporating new research approaches as they are discovered within its units, which could even lead to the creation of new units.
