| I couldn't be happier that my tax dollars are going to harness the power of the blockchain to solve the problems of "food deserts" and gentrification. --edit-- In case you are wondering if this is sarcastic, let me clarify. I fully expect the blockchain to revolutionize the delivery of government services the same way Bitcoin will revolutionize grocery shopping, and the same way Etherium will revolutionize legal contracts. --edit 2-- Since people still don't get it, let me elaborate: Imagine a world where you could use Bitcoin to transfer money anywhere in the world with the same ease as making a Bitcoin micropayment, simply, safely, instantly, with no fees. Imagine a world where people use Etherium smart contracts to control everything from marriages to college diplomas to corporate governance. Now imagine the same revolutionary ideas applied across NYC to everything from garbage collection to city ordinances! The power of the blockchain is bounded only by your imagination. |
