Thank you very much for your encouraging feedback. Maybe I was attempting insufficient efforts, but I could not find examples of how any national or corporate regulation adopted blockchain. The only more or less relevant case is Estonian e-residence system which is going to use blockchain at some future date (I hope they will really do it once the unique system is capable of attracting about 10 million new e-citizens to 1-million Estonia). However, my apprehension is connected with an ability of power structures and big corporations to compromise blockchain by making it just a part of pop culture. Blockchain is very dangerous for both the national state authorities and the transnational corporations. I’m almost sure they will try to keep blockchain within only virtual environments since it is impossible to prohibit using blockchain at all.
Such seemingly friendly to blockchain structures as R3 can incentivize and fund a lot of projects and startups aimed at keeping blockchain as a “pure digital” technology appropriate only for the entertainment business. At the same time, huge financial and state organizations can master blockchain as an effective tool for their inner closed business and governmental agents. The very natural basic contradictions between final objectives of big business (banks and corporations) and self-governance provided by blockchain make me very suspicious with regard to the interest shown by such structures as R3 and World Economic Forum to blockchain. I do not want to be too pessimistic, but often it seems that big business is going to lock up blockchain in a cage of some typical internet services (currency exchangers, development frameworks, social media, and gaming platforms) in order not to allow this revolutionary technology to reach out beyond virtuality. Let’s hope I’m mistaken :)
