The government has been running "on the blockchain" for a while, with projects like the X-road, which are also used by other countries (the other two Balitc countries and Finland).
It is a blockchain in the only way that makes sense: a cryptographically secure ledger run by a central authority (government).
- Barrin92 7y agowell, that's weird because according to the institute that runs the entire thing (https://www.niis.org/blog/2018/4/26/there-is-no-blockchain-technology-in-the-x-road https://www.niis.org/blog/2018/4/26/there-is-no-blockchain-t...), there is no blockchain technology involved, it merely uses some hashes to link data together, as do plenty of age-old protocols. This is a good example of why these PR campaigns are silly.
