How about taking it a step further and use the block chain to make a autonomous government.   Grin  The public ledger can be used for direct democracy; all citizens get to vote on legislation!

Every driver already follows an autonomous program known as the traffic light. And where as yes that system is centralized, mostly everyone still does what the light (a traffic protocol)says.

What systems can be autonomous?
DMV?
Mail?
Social Security?


How much administration can be autonomous? Really alot of our problems are because we can't hold our leaders accountable.

Isn't much of government just allocating and spending funds? The Blockchain can make this transparent. All of the fraud and theft and waste that occurs from corrupt politicians who get to hide their budgets is out in the open with transparency.
