Blockchain Revolution

Privacy and Other Rights Preserved. No spying on citizens, no arbitrary
interference with privacy, family, or home, no attacks upon anyone’s honor or
reputation. No arbitrary seizure of property—real estate or intellectual property such
as the patents of inventors—without compensation. No censorship of news
organizations, no interference with efforts to assemble. People can register their
copyrights, organize their meetings, and exchange messages privately and
anonymously on the blockchain. Beware of any politician who argues for trade-offs
between personal privacy and public security. Remember, it’s a false dichotomy.
Security. Everyone must have equal protection of the law without discrimination.
No arbitrary detentions or arrests. No one person or group of people should live in
fear of their own government or law enforcement agencies or be subjected to cruel,
inhumane, or degrading treatment from members of those agencies because of their
race, religion, or country of origin. Members of police forces can’t withhold evidence
of undue use of force, and evidence can’t go missing. It would all be logged and
tracked on the blockchain.

Inclusion. Using the Internet, citizens became more involved, learned from one
another. With the blockchain, the system can cost-effectively engage all citizens,
recognize everyone as a person before the law, and provide equal access to public
services (e.g., health care, education) and social security.
Technology is a powerful tool but it alone cannot achieve the change we need. In
the spirit of the saying “The future is not something to be predicted, it’s something to
be achieved,” let’s reinvent government for a new era of legitimacy and trust. It’s time
to stop the tinkering.
