I imagine that at some point in the future, some local governments, particularly in rural areas, will decide it's cheaper and easier to use blockchain-based government services. If the people creating this system can keep iterating towards the point where it's suitable for such, we could see a slow migration over a period of decades, with certain countries deciding to do a all-at-once rollout.
