Blockchain Voting: A Solution to Restore Trust, Transparency, and Participation in Our Democratic Systems

My typical readers will know I have a philosophical and practical aversion to voting. Philosophically, I don’t love that my vote acts as a sort of act of consent to be governed.

The author expresses a strong philosophical and practical aversion to voting due to concerns about consenting to be governed, the lack of a meaningful voice for good people, and the prevalence of election fraud throughout history. They propose blockchain technology, specifically the BSV blockchain, as a solution to create a more trustworthy and transparent voting system. The author outlines a five-step blockchain voting process and highlights the advantages of using blockchain, including security, transparency, accessibility, and the ability to address challenges such as scalability, the digital divide, and device security. They emphasize the importance of an engaged public to overcome systemic resistance to change and conclude that blockchain-based voting, powered by BSV, has the potential to restore trust, participation, and transparency in democratic systems.
