Blockchain 3.0 (VI): Decentralized Public Services

Article summary image

The first blockchain marriage

The first blockchain marriage took place in the United States in October 2015. The couple was David and Joyce, who chose to notarize their marriage through blockchain: submitting the record to the Bitcoin blockchain, using blockchain assets on a public registry. The oath was written into the text note field, embedded in a transaction of 0.1 Bitcoin, which was worth 200 yuan at the time, and this record will be permanently recorded in the blockchain ledger.

Advantages of Blockchain Marriage

Blockchain marriage is an attempt to use blockchain as a public archive information database. If it can be widely promoted and recognized in the future, it will bring many benefits: more transparency, fairness, and freedom, and can solve various problems in traditional marriages such as bigamy and concealment; and improve life matters such as supporting the elderly, having children, and buying real estate through smart contracts.

Thoughts on blockchain marriage

What changes in thinking will blockchain bring to us? In the future, perhaps we can choose the government and services, and the concept of the country will be diluted. In the future, the country will be built on the blockchain, providing stateless, decentralized, blockchain-based governance services. Such services include identity (ID card, passport) system, marriage contract, real estate registration, company registration, national income distribution, etc. Blockchain can safely identify your identity and protect your assets. Just like blockchain marriage, the marriage contract is bound to share property and fulfill the obligation of having children.

Blockchain brings a new model of global government governance collaboration

Blockchain can not only realize existing government services, but also, as a global, permanent and irrevocable distributed public record database, it can carry all government legal files: ID cards, contracts, and agreements. Global distribution brings convenience to cross-border collaboration. For example, the World Citizen project hopes to establish a decentralized global passport system.

At present, people in many countries use inferior and inefficient government services. In the future, when blockchain government becomes popular, we will be able to enjoy global standard and first-class government services. With the emergence of global currencies such as Bitcoin and global government services, we have begun to think about how the nature of countries will change and what role they will play in the future. In the future, countries will be similar to hometowns (birthplaces), while working and living in another country. All your finances, currencies, work and life, and government services are recorded in the blockchain. We will enter a new world where we can easily travel between countries and benefit from a global governance system, thus avoiding the inconvenience caused by different systems, religious cultures in multiple countries. Global digital currencies and standardized blockchain services allow us to travel around the world.

The global blockchain governance system will bring a large number of emerging market opportunities, greatly improve collaboration efficiency, make material life more abundant, and human civilization will enter the next stage. (Hollywood science fiction movies once again provide a guiding light for reality.)
