“Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time”. — W.Churchill
Equality for all, human rights and freedom of speech are some of the main reasons why democracy is the best. However, the questions are following: Is Democracy still the ideal form of government? And how can democracy develop even further?
Pia Mancini, political scientist and activist from Argentina, said: “we are 21st-century citizens doing our very best to interact with 19th century-designed institutions that are based on an information technology of the 15th century.” Mancini and a group of activists made one of the first steps of incorporating blockchain into politics by launching an app that uses blockchain to allow each individual to register a unique identity in a decentralized, incorruptible ledger. Registration is then associated with a set number of encrypted vote tokens and used to guarantee the integrity of the registered user’s votes.
The blockchain is ready to not only purify democracy in a sense of politics but also to integrate a democratic vision into the internet. #MetaHash is a supporter of democratic ideas online. Systems of open voting and open-source applications prove it.
Open voting means that any voter can get access to the results of voting and see the IDs of participating wallets and their decisions. At the same time, an open-source projects allows any user to access its code and use it to create their own version of the application or to improve the current version.
Blockchain has the potential to enable people across the world to come together and self-organize — without any central authority. #Metahash aims to play a role in the more engaged future. We want to give people an opportunity to be more integrated, we want to make sure that their voices are heard and taken into consideration.
