Topic: Does it helpful when blockchain integrated to government system? (Read 1294 times)

Not only in your country but even most of the countries are really into corruption.Government officials find extra income with their dirty agenda.With blockchain being integrate into a government system will surely stop all those corruption cases since transparency is there.But i don't think the government itself will allow it to happen.

The good thing it could do is to make it impossible for the central bank to print money thus making unnessecary inflation. Can't see any gov wanting to give that power away though.

The only country that would ever take the solution of blockchain are countries that are interested in having a transparent system, but in this world, and out of the many countries that we have, only few of them are really truthful to their citizens and would want all their operation transparent, banks are the ones that will fight this the most because they are the ones that benefit from all these their so called anonymous system of operating that Is not helping the country move forward.

The moment they implement the blockchain technology, all those illegal money of customer that they are stealing and all those government operations that is uncalled for will be transparent to everybody, and this will actually make governance an interesting one.

Actually it's such a nice idea and a great thing to implement in a country that's full of corruption, like mine. But i think, all of the countries, no matter how big and great that country is, surely will have corruption, even in a tiny bit of their system, and it's a thing that we can't avoid in our life. It's hard to fill this world with honest people only, we all know that.
And although it's really good and helpful, i doubt that government will want to integrate blockchain into the government system, especially for the transparency matter because that means they can no longer corrupt and that means they will have less money. So i think it will be hard for it to happen although i want it to happen, especially in my country so i can see my country becomes better without those dirty corruption that destroy us.

I think it's a good. If blockchain integrated to government system, it means blockchain will be received by public. It will made transaction each country esier.

I think that process of blockchain integration into government system has already started. Not in a large scale and not in all countries of course, only the progressive ones, but still. Blockchain has a lot of opportunities and benefits and even governments would like to have advantage of that. At least in Europe where governments usualy have different view on new technologies
But acceptance and integration of blockchain doesn't mean the acceptance and integration of cryptocurrencies at the same time and that needs to be clear.

Of course the transparency that will be clearly different because the transactions that are in the blockchain can be tracked and this really makes transparency between the government and also the public. this has not happened yet, especially when we talk about the current banking system

I think this situation can be possible in a non democratic government system. In a democratic system of government, you can let the government realize its short coming. One way to do th is through democratic means, like rallies and other means that are democratic.

The question is, would they consider to apply it out? Blockchain tech does imply with transparency.All info and transaction can be seen on a ledger which I do highly

believe that those who are on government doesn't really like that kind of transparency(you know what I'm talking) yes it do pertains with shady acts.They don't like
for it to be uncovered so this would takes time when it comes to fully adoption.

Blockchain technology is a unique development of our time, in its importance compared to the invention of the Internet. The scope of this technology will be constantly expanding. There is no doubt that when the blockchain is integrated into the government system, it will be a great breakthrough. The country who will do it will improve the economy first of all.

I think talking about what government should do when we can't do anything about it is a shame. I mean literally if government itself wants to be shady and bad people they can because they are the ones that make the laws or bend the laws however they want.

In USA there is absolutely no rule against oil companies to bribe shares to politicians so that politicians would have an incentive to make oil companies make more money, with that in mind politicians make rules or bend laws to make sure oil companies profit a lot so that they can make a profit too. When the rules for politicians are this shady there is really no place for blockchain. Blockchain would make everything super clear in politicos and that wouldn't fly with politicians, they want to be able to do whatever they want without interruption and if you put blockchain in there it would hurt them.

Some government officials are aware that blockchain technology can increase the efficiency of the economy of any country if blockchain technology is integrated into the state structure. Recently, more and more companies and organizations are introducing this technology into their business model and are gaining advantages over competitors. Likewise, it will happen to government organizations when they understand what benefits this technology has, but its adoption requires some time, maybe several years.

Well it is really up to the government themselves. But usually third world and developing countries are corrupt (like the country I lived it). So it's really hard to just impose and say that they are going to introduce blockchain technology to help the red-tape and bureaucratic intricacies.

I think only the developed and 1st world country will easily adapt like China, Japan, Canada, UK, Sweden and US perhaps. Unless third world government really wanted to get it of corruption and might tap blockchain technology to at least curb it, might be possible, but I don't those sitting government officials will happily accept it.

In my personal opinion, it's really unreasonable. The government system is the leading system in a country and everything should be publicly detailed and reasonable to make people believe.
Currently the government still trades across the country on currency in a normal way. It does not need to improve.

I think that the blockchain will provide an opportunity not only to save citizens' data, but also give people the opportunity to receive not only new types of services, but also improve their quality.  The fact is that today many state structures have a problem in that they are not able to quickly, but also in compliance with all legal procedures, not only receive, but also issue certain documents to citizens.  But with the help of blockchain, even the process itself can change for the better, because it will correspond to a high degree of security and, accordingly, efficiency.

Blockchain has a significant potential to develop our government system. It will help our government in securing data of its citizen with reduction of costs. And also it will build an immense trust from the citizen since blockchain gives a transparent record of all transactions.

It seems to me that in order to make blockchain more popular, you need to disseminate as much information as possible about which countries and which government structures have implemented the blockchain in their system and how well this technology is used.  Until now, no one has such information.  But we must know about specific cases and have real evidence.

But not all the data should be available transparent which can be misused as well but implementing blockchain for database storage would be really helpful and much protected which also can save their expenses of security measures every year.

   This is a good argument, Blockchain technology can provide better security. Blockchain can provide something more important in my opinion, it`s
transparency. Governments have a long history of deceiving people, for their and the interest of the powerful companies that works with governments.
   They kept us in dark for so long, maybe it`s the time for people to get out from that dark. With Blockchain technology governments will not be able to
change numbers, to keep secrets, to manipulate with people.

Lol, you think Africa wants to get out of this corrupt state they have been since their fore fathers? I think the best you can ever take to really kill the vision of blockchain technology or get African government to declare cryptocurrency illegal is to let them know that cryptocurrency has the ability to curb corruption when being implemented and used for their system.

When we are talking of blockchain technology, Africa should be the least of people that we see accept the technology, I think Europe and Asia will do better in this regard. Look at America, I cannot believe that with their level of technology know how, trump could still be fighting against cryptocurrency despite the fact that he knows the benefit of it to both him, his country and the citizens.

Until recently, I believed that the blockchain technology could actually influence the elections in different countries.  But if we are talking about democratic countries, then there will not be any problems with voting there.  And if we are talking about dictatorial countries, then no blockchain will help.  Although there is a very big advantage of the blockchain for security and the lack of access of hackers to the data of the election sites servers.  Perhaps when using the blockchain, there will no longer be such a situation when Russian hackers were accused of interfering in the election of the president of the United States, Donald Trump.

And transparency is well needed in government today, democracy is now a farce as leaders turn dictators and systematically through corruption impoverish members of their community.
Blockchain technology can help nip the problem in the bud, by reflecting the actual outcome of elections, and put in the leaders the people choose, government tend to manipulate election results, but with the technology it becomes highly impossible to do as and also to embezzle funds as all will be recorded in the system.

Do you really think the government will like to integrate the blockchain technology to their system? Here I am talking about countries with corrupted government. They would never wan't a transparent system or else how would they do their under the table jobs? Your second point which is freedom of information is also another point were the corrupted government would never want. If the have access to the details of how the government spends their, many questions will rise against them.
On other hand, if the government is actually not corrupted and wants the betterment of the citizen, then implementing this technology will be helpful and will also gain peoples trust.

Having blockchain technology installed into government systems would help a lot as there are so many people in government that are not doing anything subtantive yet they are getting paid with huge sums of money. Countries in Africa are at a great fault when it comes to this. There are so many corruption cases which can be solved or could have been prevented if their system were operating with blockchain technology. Corruption can really be checked with the use of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies.

Blockchain provides faster and reliable services when it is integrated  into government and it will likely improve the performances of every department or agency. In my country, the agency that runs supervises national elections is planning to use blockchain in the automated election to prevent possible errors and misfunctions during counting and transmisdions of votes. I also believe that governments in other oart of world have also this kind of idea of blockchain integration and a significant numbers of them are planning to use it in the future.

The fact that the blockchain today is not only being tested but also being introduced by various financial structures and systems, including in the system of government of many countries.  But it seems to me that this does not apply to cryptocurrencies, because only centralized currencies can be officially accepted by government institutions, and all other cryptocurrencies will be used under different conditions.

I think the sad thing about putting something good in government is that if you give the power to a bad person it doesn't matter what they do with it, they will use it for their bad agenda all around no matter what type of safe guards you put around them.

I live in a nation that literally had democratic power balance just 10-15 years ago and the dictator we have managed to make it such that he would be the only power and he could appoint anything he wants, which means if people elect a bad person it doesn't matter if you give him the power of blockchain or not, he would fake it and even 51% attack it himself just to make it show things he wants it to show instead of making it decentralized and being transparent towards the public in order to be more fair and show what he does.

then, the crypto market will be no different from the stock market. businesses need to have annual financial statements and a lot of things.
Although when blockchain integrated with the government will cause many positive effects, there will also be many negative effects.
No one wants to invest in crypto anymore, they will switch to investing in gold or securities to increase their profit.

I am truly excited about this thing. Integrating blockchain technology in government is something that will unite crypto worlds to the governments. In this case, it will be a beneficial to the government if this advanced technology will be used inside their system. Convenience in data storing and it will build transparent networks inside the system which makes it a good step to prevent corrupt officials.

we are only talking about blockchain here and we arent talking about cryptos  . afaik blockchain technology is not anonymous and you can see all the transactions that are put in it while cryptos are the ones that are anonymous because you can opt to hide your transaction using mixers or using a fully anonymous coins .

blockchain tech is really helpful in the government system because it can lessen corruption and  we can enjoy a fair election  . cant wait to see this happen  .

I think you spoiled everything by mentioning anonymity. If Bitcoin is going to make everything anonymous, then how does that make up for transparency as well? That means that everyone will be doing whatever they wish to do without being caught because they are anonymous. You will only be seeing their transactions recorded but you wouldn't know what was done or who was behind it, so that doesn't make any sense. But trust me, if the government decides to be part of this, you will not remain anonymous any longer and everything is going to change.

It is definitely a good way using it in government and there is a bad way of using it. For example, if Russia decides to interrupt a countries economy and want to ruin it they will be capable of buying crypto with Russian fiat money (no idea what its called) and get bitcoin with it from the people of Russia who wants to sell theirs and make them bitcoin rich or Russian fiat money rich, whereas they can cash out in some other country they want to ruin while taking their national money from them and bring it back to Russia and sell it for Russian money making that countries money weaker against Russian money.

So, as you can see blockchain at the hands of a bad person or a government can still be bad, it all depends on how you want to use it and why you want to use it.

Supposed that Bitcoin is going to be mainstream, the governments must provide transparency if they want to survive. Corrupt governments will be likely to be in a self-destruction mode if they don't want to change their behavior. As we saw from North Korea and the Middle East political and economics retardation, it's a matter of when they will repair their broken system.

government will create transparency in their bureaucracy.citizen will be glad with this progress, they could monitor all government activities in order to prevent corruption or other fraud activities.and also blockchain integration will give them efficiency in data tracking.

Basically if government integrates blockchain into their systems it will be easier for them to track everything in a point of illegal activities where basically they will know everything that is bad to each countries economy considering false bills, corruptions, every kind of fraudulent activities.

In other way it would help ease the legalizations for each country where the acceptance of cryptocurrencies would probabily be helped out and approved in a faster way if the government see that it was beneficial for those countries and there were not so many illegal activities.

I am not sure whether any government will accept to provide transparency to their citizens and hence  these sort of benefits provided by the blockchain technology will be neglected by the government and if you look closely the main countries that has already banned or planning to ban bitcoin are third world countries which are corrupted to the core and they might want to reject the entire idea of transparency.
Bitcoin is not just a store of value, if it is not used as a transaction platform globally then there is no point in seeing them as a store of value, it will be just a speculative market with no base.

It would be useful though but there might be a slight or more problem need to discuss or fix first before they could actually use it during the election day. If the government would intervene in implementing this, then i'm sure we know what they were planning. Let the blockchain spread more to give awareness to the people and to the people inside the palace.

With time, the government will have to adopt the blockchain for its bureaucratic process to foster transparency in their system, but some government of nations are reluctant about integrating blockchain to their day to day workflow since this will almost eliminate corruption and entrench transparency and accountability.  The government must move on with the new technological advancement and look beyond personal gain.

I'm imagining using blockchain in election. Wow! It could be an amazing access for all voters to have a transparent and no fraud result. Well, in my readings since then every election has an issue in the results of voting. Its quite annoying. Why not integrate blockchain and see what's the result.

Still the one who will run or manage the government matter. Even if how good the system is politicians that are good for nothing thief would still steal money from the people. I do believe that they can still look for loop holes and steal money.

I just wish our government will going to apply block chain and the one running the government will assure that corruption will be minimize as stealing money is rampant from the corrupt officials.

I think blockchain technology will very useful, the transparency of the system will help many people to obtain clarity, some of the big countries already done a thorough research to try implementing blockchain in every sector, so far the technology is very useful to settle dispute so I think it can be used in different sectors to make things easier

I do believe it would make the goverments become much better and increasing the transparancy in every aspect of financial. Goverment could use it to get more attention and more trust from their citizens cause i believe people are paying and the goverments is the one who manage the money. So Yes blockchain will make a good system for goverments financial.

Considering the data for politicians are already public in some cases and people still do not care about it, we can assume that blockchain could be implemented and nothing could change neither. Think about it you can check if a politician got bribed in USA and people don't care about that.

You can look up on any congress person and if they ever got paid and you can see that companies did actually paid them in thousands of dollars and they are giving decisions that would help those companies instead of the people and there is nothing done about it. A congress person can get paid by comcast and then go back and let comcast off the hook for a shady business and comcast would make more profit than they paid the politician so both politician is paid and comcast profits but the people are screwed, this is OPEN to public and nobody does anything, blockchain wouldn't change a thing.

they may adopt the cryptocurrency but I doubt they'll be using any of the existing cryptocurrency. government wants control and decentralize currency is the opposite of what they want. governments can easily make a cryptocurrency that is backed by they're own currency (stablecoin). that what they will probably do if they ever decide to adopt it.

It's the interest that matters, if the government begins to adopt the system cryptocurrency will have a high chance being adopted as well, the only matter is how the government will facilitate the nature of crypto for being decentralized, if they will be adding or integrating this system would it be possible for anonymity or it will be for the best interest of certain entity?

yes of course it is verry helpful and useful  when blockchain integrates to the government system but the main problem is that governments are likely going to reject this kind of proposal because governments are wise guys and they do not want allow something that they think that it could be a hindrance to thier agenda . they are aware that once blockhcain tech is integrated to thier system , they cannot cheat anymore  . so no extra money for them  .

It seems to me that this situation needs to be distinguished in some aspects that will really be pleasant to the real prospects of cryptocurrency in society.  The fact that state structures, as well as the banking system, integrate new technologies into their structures, including the blockchain, does not mean that real legalization of cryptocurrency will occur in a particular country.

Well, transparency is a big factor that is much concerned to make things function without any form of flaws. When there is transparency automatically the politicians as well as the government authorities will think better and the same will reduce the corruption which is the big issue with each and every country in its growth. Integrating blockchain with the government system is a must for the growing population.

Transparency is becoming a thing thanks to rivalry between politicians too.

I mean I am sure there are things that are still secret and hidden away by people but recently we get to see that many people stole money from public or got bribes and what not and they are told by the opponents of that person, so in revenge they tell that persons secrets and it goes on like that.

Weird part of this cycle is that nobody really cares and the life goes on, they don't even stop stealing, they continue to steal from people or get bribes and that is the sad part. Blockchain is still a great candidate and it should be available and also published on government pages so that we can clearly see who got money from where but if I know any better they will not stop it.

Not just a "helpful" term it should be BENEFICIAL rather. This will be an access for us to execute our rights to transparency. In terms of national expenditures, national budget we have a right to know where our taxes spend. That's the reason why we have corrupt officials, they were able to do it because no one can find it. We need an access to know the transaction of the government. And this is blockchain. Well, I don't think they will impose this because they don't want to expose their corruption.

I understand we all need transparency. but blockchain technology is not allowed. if it can be easily integrated and transactions are easy to find, perhaps the crypto market is not as good as it is today. I think we need a decentralization and a lack of control to make money easier.
When cryptocurrency is run by the government, you will see investors being oppressed very horribly.

Under the central authority system, a user’s data and currency are technically at the whim of their bank or government. If a user’s bank collapses or they live in a country with an unstable government, the value of their currency may be at risk. These are the worries out of which Bitcoin was borne.

Here is one used case, the government of Canada has launched a public blockchain on top of Ethereum. It's for the administration of government contracts and everyone can see it on their website. So there is transparency here because obviously you can see where the money goes and to what project and how much money is being raised.

(https://explorecatena.com/)

I think maybe another coin can be used for that. My take on this is that it could bring the people to use it too and not using only bitcoin. Altcoins too have to be known to help the whole crypto place and community.

It will depend on how good the government is, if the government is good then I believe they will consider blockchain implementation to assure transparency. This good government will restrict all officer to be publicly known by that transparency system. But this transparency should be studied very well to concern of some secret state that to be kept and maintain the secret from outsider / enemies.

Almost all states appreciated the advantages of the blockchain technology. I do not even know such a state that would reject it. This technology is good to use where online access needs to safely store and use large databases. So, in my state, blockchain technology is used to create a land cadastre. Anyone for a small fee can look at the characteristics of any land of the country and all the data about it. A listing of such a land plot has the power of an official document.

You are talking only about money transfers , but I see another way that blockchain could be a very useful tool.

It could the best security type for signing documents within government, noone will be able to forge or change signatures and also it could be made accessible to public or certain government structures. laso other security features for technical admins who have access to sensitives information could be merged with blockchain security solutions.

Pretty decent list you have there,OP.
More automation and unification means less human control,and less human control means less corruption and less mistakes.
Many clerks will lose their pointless jobs,when the blockchain gets implemented on a massive scale.

Okay, you're right, there is transparency but does that mean you're able to discover what was done with the money and who is behind it?? Unless the government are going to come for it with kyc so that anything you do they will be able to trace you with it and know what you have done with the money. But if it's going to be as it is right now (anonymous) then it is the worst thing because it makes no sense… it will only be showing you transactions but you don't know who is behind the transactions that were made… so how is that helping?? Everything better be as it is, the government shouldn't come into cryptocurrency.

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.

I 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

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 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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

It's blockchain but not bitcoin to be involved in the integration with the government system. It's not impossible because blockchain can be used in various sectors. As far as i know about some countries have started to dig the potential of the blockchain. It's not always to integrate with the government but to replace the system in the sector which less efficient and effective.

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.

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.

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.

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.  

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 it

correct, corrupt politicians will decline the adaptation of block-chain technology in the government if it will halt, interrupt
or stop the corruption they have been doing. also citizen will doubt this technology since they are unfamiliar with it and will
accuse that who ever want to implement this technology a dictator or want to control the government for him/her self.

 

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.

yeah dirty politician will surely would not one a block chain integration in the government section. If only there are good politicians that could see this thread and would give a support then therr is a high chance that the block chain system integration introduction will have the chance to happen.

Blockchain hype started years ago, and people still didn't create anything great with this technology, people only talk about vague ideas how blockchain be applied here and there, but nothing comes out of it. "Blockchain can help banks, blockchain can help governments" - I've seen it 3 years ago, but still no one build a blockchain that is now proudly used by some big names, in fact mentions of blockchain projects tend to disappear over time - first someone loudly says that they will use blockchain, then years later there's still no updates on it, as if it never happened.

Transparency is one thing that most governments dreaded of.
They don't want the public to know what is going on behind those curtains.
Though they always claim to be honest and transparent because it should be in the first place.
Yet, the actual scenario is the opposite. Most of the corrupt government institutions want to hide their transactions as much as possible.
With blockchain technology, it will address the transparency issues, hence, their rebuttal or hesitation to use this system.

This will be a huge problem for dirty politicians. I guess that is one of the reasons why government are aloof with blockchain tech and crypto since they see it as a threat not to mention it might eliminate the usage of banks where government has power over.

We can’t know this one not until government shows some support to use blockchain technology. Transparency is the key that blockchain can assure to the government but since politics are politics, they might not want to become more transparent and they see blockchain as a threat to them. If they are against with it, then progress will be delayed.

I think that this could materialise as an idea. The rest, I'm not so sure on. If fiscal spending can be tracked, then storing it on a public ledger could make sense in order to add transparency to transactions, especially in countries where this is a prominent issue.

If you're strictly talking about the government (and not of the currency, or monetary policy), then integrating blockchain technology is probably going to be something of an internal infrastructure project that will add to the efficiency of their existing databases, and to add immutability to records, etc.

It's not going to be anything decentralised or anything resembling a cryptocurrency - all the government would use blockchain for is as a database, essentially.

Governments wouldn't want public records to be left hanging in the open as it could easily be tampered and used in a lot of nefarious ways possible. Perhaps they will seek a workaround for that once they integrated the blockchain in public service/record keeping (hopefully). As for point #10, I don't think those alone are enough to keep the community happy. Mind you, no matter how perfect the government is, the public would always find flaws and faults of the government just because.


So far I haven't seen my government provide a quality service even though the systems are already upgraded and equipment is also top notch and up-to-date. It highly depends on who sits on the public office at the end of the day and not technological advancements per se.

Of course, if states introduce blockchain technology into the economy and other branches of state activity, it will be very useful for everyone - for the state, for citizens, and for cryptocurrency. It should be noted that almost all states recognized the revolutionary and promising blockchain technology and began to introduce this technology. Moreover, such a technology is being introduced even by those states that do not relate well to cryptocurrency, and China, which issues the largest number of patents for inventions using this technology, is an example of this.

It depends on which side of the government is needed and whether it will also give feedback to the blockchain later?
If we look at it now, the development on the side of the government and its politics with this blockchain is not suitable because the scope is not just online

I've been pursuing this idea for quite a lot of time. Because the blockchain is really an effective technology to innovate almost everything in the system when it comes to data and information. The objectives you have provided are really the pointers. Imagine an election with the blockchain technology integrated within its system? It would be a more secure and clean election. However, since most of the people in the government are egoistic, they would choose to stay what they are and won't open their minds with the possibility and innovation that the blockchain could give.

conflicts will probably will going to happen. Clearly other politicians had their own agenda and to which most likely if they will not agree then clearly they are corrupt politicians. The reason for this corrupt politicians starts with vote buying. Of course they use their pocket monet to buy votes and to win during the election as a result, they will become a corrupt official just to compensate all their spenditures during the election campaign. After that self interest will always follow taking advantage on every last cent of money they can get from.their budget allocations.

That will be possible if leaders and politicians would agree to use and adopt cryptocurrency. If they will implement those things for the good of cryptocurrency and the users, there will be transparency and both the economy and blockchain will improve. If the leader is against cryptocurrency, there will be lots of conflicts.

Peter Schiff is fighting the good fight, but unfortunately he's soo obsessed with Gold that he doesn't want or can't see how Bitcoin is a useful alternative. Yes, Gold has a major advantage and doesn't need to prove itself, but that doesn't mean the new generation will continue to hop on the Gold-bandwagon. Bitcoin appeals to the new generation way more because they grow up in a time where everything is based on tech and digital alternatives.

I think the average nocoiner-joes will only accept Bitcoin being a store of value when their government starts buying it up just like how they buy up Gold right now.

Transparency and accountability should be the main benefit for governments to use blockchain technology. However, I don't know which blockchain that is suitable for this purpose.

BTC might be more suitable for a store of value, to replace gold, even though many people argue about this idea. People like Peter Schiff lol

Blockchain can be implemented everywhere where there is in need of transparency,its nothing related to crypto so governments are free to implement and it happened on some countries as well.Many countries tried it even on vote polling but they stopped for some reasons.

Blockchain technology is considered to be revolutionary and game-changing that can hopefully transform many entities and organizations for the better and that certainly includes the government. However, we know that most governments are not open to the use of the blockchain on their ecosystem. Now, is it possible that one day we can have a government that incorporates some of the blockchain technology and really make it work? I am seeing a big potential on the electoral process maybe that this the best way to have a taste of blockchain in the government.

It would be great if there are leaders here to be invited in this forum letting them know that block chain could make a change in government system. So what could blockchain do good for government? There could be some ways that a government could change its point of view eradicating corruption in every departments. So, a true politician wishing for change for ever governance then must integrate block chain and promote the following objectives:

Objectives:

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.

2. The freedom of information - block chain offers the public the freedom of information regarding on how a department utilize the money being allocated to them.

3. The ease of doing government transaction - so from being centralized government could do the p2p transaction using block chain. This will make the government's job easier as it will minimize queuing in their departments for the public.

4. Anonymity - transaction still could be done anonymously for the safety of the government's clientele.

5. Building confidence - It will build confidence from the community of a well govern community to which it will result for a good and strong economy in the future. What do you think?

6. Faster and strong economy - as corruption will be minimized then the country will be going better away from the corruption and corrupt officials could be easily identified through block chain.

7. Reliable - every government department will be reliable and will definitely the stronghold for the community in their every needs from the government.

8. Quality service - a quality service will be surely provided by the government after eradicating corruption.

9. Standardization - as technology arises, block chain could surely be part of being standard through digitization.

10. Good community - as good governance will be made, the results will be clearer that there will be a good community after getting satisfied with the governments quality service.

I can't think so much in this thread of how block chain could really be helpful to a government system.

In your own opinion do you think that government should need to integrate block chain in their system regardless of the government form and its differences?
