Not necessarily - Proof of work systems are more energy intensive than proof of stake systems, but the energy argument isn't really a serious thing tbh. It's more politics than anything else. Quantum computing disrupts a lot of things, including our financial system.

Where do you get your drivers license or voter registration from today?

From going to voluntarily get them, not having them assigned to you solely because you draw breath.

Is China leading the race to get to quantum computing? That's scary if so. Imagine them basically having access to our defense system computing. How far off is this quantum computing going to take?

Birth certificate is a form of identification and it's issued "at birth". There would obviously have to be some effort on the person's behalf to take ownership of their digital identity in this scenario.

That's a NO. Under any circumstances, for anything. The best way to keep your information private is to keep it private and not in any database. Our lives are in too many databases as it is.
Digital identity WILL be abused. The globalists prize information more than they do gold. They will find a way to get it and use it to their advantage.
There's nothing wrong with current state issued IDs.

Blockchain is fine for holding the vote totals at state level after the paper ballots have been counted by County officials. I'm all for dipping your hand in ink after casting your one and only vote too.

Blockchain based voting system

Blockchains transactions cannot be altered. Blockchains are an open journal and transactions cannot be altered. You have verified voters with unalterable results.

Digital Identity issued to everyone.

I’m sure there’s lots of questions and gotchas. Thoughts? I expect a lot of knee jerk hell no responses and that’s ok.

I do NOT want my life to be anyone's "open" journal or "open" anything.

If a *prime* reason for use of this Tech is about supposedly ensuring "Legit" Elections going forward, well that illusion (and notion of "fair") has already sailed my friend.

Got anything else?

Convenience and verification in the course of a cashless-society transaction?

Today's tech is multiplying exponentially. It might be slight hyperbole, but by 11:00pm the morning's 8:00am tech is already obsolete.

The theory/claim that BC "Encryption" CAN NOT be altered. Simulated. Cloned. Duplicated / Replicated. Corrupted. The problem is...Trust and Credibility of those who control the Tech.

In theory, Block-Chain tech may sound like THE viable solution to verification. But it's naivete and idealistic to believe its inventors/developers have NOT first already rigged the Encryption system with some kind of backdoor / "skeleton key" parallel tech that alters, manipulates, and corrupts exactly to what it's claimed to be impervious.

And then...

Why should we surrender, share and entrust personal control & sovereignty of our *own* unique Identity? Why should we tether our Personal Records, each and every move, movement and body-function to the same dark entities who boast of an admitted controlled-demolition of the World's systems and "RESET"?

That's a NO for me, Dawg. It's being set up as a weaponized Beast System. JMHO.

The Gates' and Schwabs' and Rockefellers' and Rothchilds all already have way too much power and control without authorizing them to sign on the dotted line as joint co-owner of all I do.

You made a lot of points - I’ll attempt to go through them all.

Open journal - your identity Information is encrypted and you have the key. Enables you to verify your vote but can’t be tracked back to you.

Prime reason to me is restoring trust in the system - currently at an all time low in my opinion.

Cannot be altered - can’t prove a negative, but blockchain has recorded “trillions” of dollars worth of assets and it hasn’t been hacked. The incentive to hack it is certainly there and the fact that it hasn’t happened is pretty strong proof of the security.

Developers rigging the system - public blockchains are open source code and run by 1000s of individuals around the world. The decentralization and open source protocols have ensured the validity of transactions.

Surrender personal control - it’s actually the opposite. In this scenario, people are more in control of their identity.

Gates/ Schwab / Rockefeller - Gates is on record as not being a fan.

The Real ID act was passed in 2005. We are in year 17 and it's not complete. How long would it take to get every body a digital ID. 10-20 years
