It's obvious to many by now that our antiquated method of doing the business of government is no longer working. The two party system is a great way for politicians to establish a long, very long-lasting and very profitable positioni for themselves. They learn how to posture and pose and make tidy little speeches full of promises and age-old wisdom, but gets nothing accomplished. Is it any wonder when we know that the system was designed by people who only knew horse-and-buggy technology.
As we write these words of introduction to The Blockchain Government, we are on the brink of total financial collapse. Violence of all kinds rules over our streets. Six college students are murdered. Hundreds of other innocent Americans are slain every day on the streets of this country. Inflation is rampant. People are going homeless by the thousands every day. Another pandemic is raging. The forest fires in 15 states are raging out of control for months. There is a drought everywhere, except in the East where there are record floods. People are fearful. AND, 6 out of 10 people know that the Climate Crisis will greatly impact their lives. The other 4 are just sticking their head in the sand.
Throughout history - whenever great turmoil, uncertainty and fear arises, a form of dictatorship always arises because in a panic people are willing to forego their rights and freedoms in exchange for a little more security. This is too great a cost.
Perhaps it is time to turn to something that we invented just a few short years ago and took to like ducks in water. The Internet is something that we know and love and is an expected utility that we must have every day like heat and light, food and water. Why not trust the latest developments of the Internet to rule over us all and give us the solution to problems PRIOR to them running out of control? The Blockchain is the most secure form of information that the world has ever known. Not perfect, but as close to perfect as anything human-built can get and getting closer to perfection every day. We can trust it to formulate suggestions to common national problems. The best solutions are pushed up by the Community. Then, we vote on the best proposals. The whole process of solving a problem may take as little as ONE DAY or as long as a month or two, rarely any longer, depending on the complexity of the problem and its corresponding solution.
Our voting data can not be corrupted or compromised because in the Blockchain there are thousands of computers in the Blockchain who back up every single bit of information. Changing only one computer cannot happen because the others in the network, block any unauthorized attempts to alter the information. It can be done, but only with the commitment of millions of dollars and thousands of workers all dedicated to doing something that does them no good because in our final version of the Blockchain Government - everything in the Blockchain will be backed up by a paper trail.
Our money says on it - "In God We Trust." I say: "In the Blockchain, We Trust!"
