Topic: Does it helpful when blockchain integrated to government system? - page 4. (Read 1315 times)
This, in my opinion, is generally known. If states implement blockchain technology in their practical activities, this will contribute to the trust of citizens in cryptocurrency, since cryptocurrency is based on the same technology. Now almost all states have appreciated the advantages of the blockchain technology and are gradually using it in various areas of the economy. This contributes to the legalization of cryptocurrency states.
Blockchain as a tech, is so far superior to most systems we have now. Some governments have already adopted it, albeit in just a few portions. For example I believe a few countries have already started using blockchain for keeping land titles since that reduces the likelihood of getting the records destroyed by in a burning building. I can't find the thread but I heard some charity group has planned on using it for dispensing donations, which could become a blueprint for the government using it for welfare to reduce fraud.
right as a database in land will make the blockchain a backup, so that state administration is not disturbed in bad conditions, such as disasters or fires. still not many governments use it. I think that soon there will be many governments who realize itI certainly hope my country implement this. My grandfather settled this empty wilderness when he moved in from the countryside and this land is basically urban now. There's one guy (most agree is a troll) claiming this area and several other land in other cities. This was cos the land registry burned down years ago and after that there were several people claiming land using dubious titles.
It seems for now that court have ignored these claims - we are in the process of gaining the land title from the government but it wouldn't have taken this long if the government has been able to prove right from the start that this is not private land. A blockchain would make several kinds of malicious trolls jobless.
We all know that most governments are corrupt or seemto be shady . Not all Government workers are doing their job in a right way . Some of them may modify the files just to steal some infos or cash but if blockchain is implemented i think they can do their jobs in an honest way because they cant touch the files and other important infos once the data has been transfer to the blockchain.
Governments have many branches so we can't say it for the whole government. But for stuff like economy and taxes it could be done perfectly. Think about using all of the great parts of blockchain just to follow up on someones earnings and spending and then tax them for it, that would make it so much simpler and easier for the taxman to follow you and tax you just from looking at your attributed address on that blockchain.
There could be education as well for all the things you studied and all certificates and so forth, kinda like a CV for you. But like when it comes to stuff like military it may not be that great since governments do not like all of their military to be known and want to hide some stuff and so forth. Basically some branches can use it excellently whereas some of them can't really use it.

Of course! it will surely help the government system without a doubt but I don't think that politicians will allow it because their motives will be in jeopardy if Blockcahin will be implemented because of the transparency that it can provide to the people.
If there's a sovereign country that would implement the Blockchain technology to their government system then that would be a big step for humanity because other neighboring country of it will be pressure and may follow its decision.

You know blockchain could actually solve something that government is finding ways of solving since days .
*Corruption*
If corruption is solved , if it's eradicated from the society then the poor people will actually get benefited from the schemes made for them , that they are never able to get benefit of , day in and day out government sends money for their education , welfare and all but you should go to the person and ask how much they ever received .
For example they use blockchain , they get a escrow and then we could all see where the money Is going , how many pending transactions are there , who is getting at which address?
Then we could for sure say that the government is doing their work , I think they are afraid of this fact only therefore banning cryptocurrencies.

Blockchain only good for decentralizing currencies. Though there are some blockchains that are being used for multiple purposes aside currencies... it is inefficient and would eventually lead to centralization.
However, blockchain can be combined with other methods of decentralization for distributing large files like pictures, videos, audios, documents, etc. This will make running a government in a decentralized and transparent manner possible

In my opinion, it is not good if ever blockchain technology merge with the government. You just like mixing the water in oil. They have different objectives. Blockchain Technology was invented because people want to have decentralisation which the government does not promote. In fact, many governments all over the world banned the use of cryptos. What is the implication of that? They don't want also the blockchain technology to exist.
You've something to say that once blockchain technology merge into government system will turn it into a centralized market? Seems to be possible but people won't let it to happen, it could only be if the government agree with terms and make used of this technology into their own system. I hope the authorities will realize it and never twist what blockchain technology must be at its origin.

in developed countries the use of blockchain will be much benefit to the community, because of the ease and transparency of information. but in other countries this idea will actually be opposed by the government because it will complicate corrupt practices. i agree basically the use of blockchain that is integrated to the government system will have many benefits as the OP said.
Unfortunately, we still have many countries whose governments are not what they are supposed to be. The grip on power and the use of coercive methods in order to promote their own interests can be seen in many news that even the mainstream media are delving. Those in the position of power will look at an innovation like the blockchain as a threat because they could not control it they way they wanted to. Not unless, there can be a big revolution where the people themselves will be asking the changes needed...but this is more like a dream for now.

1. To promote transparency - It is clear that block chain could help a lot for the records will be in public and all could see how the money could be transferred and being utilized. This is the basic way to eradicate corruption on every evil politician that forges documents in project to which it was never been implemented.

4. Anonymity - transaction still could be done anonymously for the safety of the government's clientele.
These two points are somewhat in direct opposition with each other, don't you think?
I don't think that any government in the world would want more accountability by having a public record of every single transaction that they undertake, especially in those more corrupt governments, which goes without saying.
If it does get integrated within the government sector, I think that it will simply be a measure to cut costs of having a centralised database, or to try to introduce a more robust settlement process (even though that technically is under the jurisdiction of the central bank, in most countries).

If blockchain technology implemented on every sectors of government the pubic can access all the details of government if they want which make the system more fast and accurate but I don't think government will do that,if they allow everyone to see what is happening at the process then people will find what are the wrong things they were doing. 
I stopped at transparency.
The government are known to have a lot of private transactions, private transfers, it is like the government is the body of a country and natural habitat of corruption. That is the reason there will be no transparency, the money will be sent privately and instead of using that money to help improve and develop the country, they will just keep that for themselves. They can't do that with transparency so they might do this but there will be a backdoor wherein this body can do their private transactions.

Transparency does not really exist in our modern day and especially for governments, because they are constantly lying to us in order to prevent chaos or so they say, if government were actually willing to accept blockchain and accept it as a new system than they would have accepted bitcoin a long time ago and none of them would have banned it, in order for blockchain to become a system of the government the whole system has to be replaced by new people who have vision for the future and actually believe in it.
I think blockchain technology will help and make the work more easy if will be integrated on governments and on all institutions who use an old and not so fast system now.
Bitcoin technology can indeed be used for anything, but if it is used for government and state institutions, I don't think it is possible because it will certainly have pros and cons that have no end because the government is a hotbed of bribery which means it is impossible if the government implements blockchain technology within the government .

Yeah you're absolutely right but there is one huge question which is that; are the governments really up for that? I mean the transparency, te tracking and all the features of blockchain. In as much as there is the need for all these quality features in governments, they're as well entangled by numerous shady behaviors and that's why they always don't want people to track them.

Ask yourself the question, why is all that accountability important to them? Is it in their main interest to show everyone what they are doing and how they are spending your tax money? A lot of these governments are corrupt to the core and they do not want transparency and efficiency, so this would not be a priority concern for them. 
Yes, as citizens we would like it if they were totally transparent and it would be nice if we knew where our tax money are going and how it was spend, but that is just a pipe dream. They might use some "private" Blockchain technology to create a smoke screen that they are using it to the benefit of their voters, but it would be controlled by them.

Transparency and accountability are two important issues during elections but after that period people in the government don't care too much not unless there will be someone who is truly very popular leader that will impose the use of the blockchain in the way he/she is governing but this is just a pipe dream for now...but then who knows decades from now this can be a big reality. In the first place, the government has not yet considered the blockchain technology as a mature and so this is still very experimental for the meantime.
