Democracy on the Blockchain: How to Make it Hackproof?

I’ve shared the idea of Democracy on the Blockchain (DoB?) with a few folks. Or perhaps it should be “Governance on the Blockchain” (“GoB”). The first question from several people was: How do you prevent fraud? The goal is not a perfect hack-proof system. Even BTC and ETH are not…

Democracy on the Blockchain

My mind is having trouble processing the paradox that there is a Hitler wreaking havoc by waging a WWII style warfare, with his finger on the nuclear button, while plunging people of two countries into horror (Ukraine already and Russia is well on the way), while the world leaders are…
