Yet, tech like blockchain has amazing potential to reduce corruption and improve governance for countries and municipalities. It's too bad the hype is overshadowing this amazing ability.
I've always wondered why governments don't use it in an online voting system. You could register your IP address up with something that identifies you in the gov database and use it for online voting.
It's like almost no one really understood that you don't need blockchain if you have a trusted network, which most companies do. So they are basically implementing distributed databases which they probably are already using in some form once we ditched mainframes.
Blockchain!!!!

That rings true, but also there is the simple fact that online voting solves a non-existing problem.
Paper based voting is much simpler and works.
If it doesn't work in the US, do it like in the countries where it works, problem solved.

Yeah, Blockchain is only useful when decentralization is of utmost importance. It's great for that though.
