RE: AskSteemit #5: What changes are you most excited about in the decentralized revolution?

in #asksteemit7 years ago (edited)

I am interested in its ability to add transparency to the government. The biggest way I feel this could help, kind of going a long with your charity idea, is the money that flows into the pockets of politicians. It can be extremely hard to figure out where that money came from.

I envision a day where all money going towards a campaign has to be put through a block chain that is transparent and the money can be followed where it is from. I also look forward to politicians themselves utilizing block chains. Perhaps for legislation, voting, or correspondences?

I think that there are possibilities that could be used when it comes to getting more out of our government. We should be able to see, for the most part, what our government does and be able to hold them responsible without them being able to censor and delete what they might have said or done.

I have some other ideas but that is probably what I am looking forward to. The only reason I state this over others is because I feel other ideas are already being taken seriously and they are being worked on. I feel this idea is kind of in the background and may not be as main stream of an idea. But I feel it could have massive effects in the lives of everyone, even those who do not pay attention to politics.

Being able to utilize an unchangeable platform that can be audited by everyone gives the ability to find out which politicians could be doing nefarious things behind the scenes. Even if you do not pay attention to politics, getting bad politicians out of office and bringing them to light helps everyone. While I am not sure it could completely get rid of all transparency issues, I feel it could definitely make a change.

They are too late to stop the snowball. Your hope will come true, although it make take some serious time because well have to wait for mass adoption first.

I do not currently own NEO (crypto) but I sense it is releasing a platform to fill this need. Have you reviewed NEO or do you see a crypto that setting the foundation for government improvement? (I almost send government replacement. BUT 1) it is not a revolution ... it is an evolution. 2) We are not violent but hoping to improve our society.

I think some kind of government may always be necessary; elections could be vastly improved with real time auditing with blockchain. But that's just one small aspect.

Gov in the future won't have to print money, and will find itself with vastly less to do, as automated distribution of tokens and various other algo replaces gov.

Including road planning perhaps.. but some things fix themselves, like flying cars.
