Thank you for your question.
I believe that blockchain technology is a historic opportunity for giving power to the people, by giving them the capacity to manage their information themselves. I firmly believe that each individual ought to be responsible for managing their personal information. As was mentioned earlier, blockchain could give citizens the ability to manage their personal information and decide whether or not to authorize communication.
Apart from information management, one of the aspects in which I am most interested from the democratic standpoint is the current loss of confidence in our democratic system. Concrete measures are needed to give citizens back their ability to partake in public sector decision making. People have to become directly involved.
We need to make use of this intelligence to make decisions based on facts. It's called outcome-based budgeting. So we need to use our citizens' intelligence to help make decisions, and to determine the directions of our programs, on the basis of facts rather than opinions or habits that lead us to place our money where we expect it has to be placed because that's what we've always done.
A major paradigm shift is needed in how things are managed. Digital governance means open governance. Through the use of a digital tool, people are going to be able to participate much more actively in the decision-making process.
