Before talking about crypto-governance or world-governance you must destroy governments.

Check Auroracoin - they aim to kickstart the coin by giving them free to all Icelanders. If, a big if, there is government support/people's support - many things listed out might be possible.

If a similar project was started in India, we would need to distribute paper wallets to at-least 56 crore Adhaar card holders.

It's already going ballistic. But only after the actual distribution can we see how this will work out.
I am a bit concerned about the pricing. With 50% pre-mine its kinda iffy as to how the prices have gone so high. It might be due to the future expectation of market in the coin (or a pump as others will say).

That said, if it proves acceptable it might pave a way to Crypto-Governance.

Crypto-Governance


Bitcoin could be used for bringing transparency to current hierarchical fund distribution for public welfare schemes.

  • Each officer/office will have a official public bitcoin address.
  • Movement of all funds can be traced publicly.
  • This would plug all the loopholes, which are used to steal public money.
  • Legal documents and official communications can be signed by their public signatures.
  • Govt. would just need to keep track of officer's public signature, instead of going through the current process of certification by cca.gov.in .
  • If any misuse of private key happens, then officer will hold full liability, and immediate penal action can be taken.  
  • Govt. can open a public tender for submission of open source crypto-coins, if a new coin is needed according to the terms of govt.
  • As mining would generate coins on the terms of govt., it can be declared as alternative currency.
  • In time, fiat rupee would be phased out, removing the heavy burden of controlling and tracking of money from govt.'s shoulders.
  • A Cryptocoin Regulatory Authority have to be established to authorize and implement popular public demands in crypto currency's source code.
  • Cryptocoin Act may also be needed to be passed to legitimize its usage for public services
