Brazil Looks To Ethereum As A Solution To Its Popular Petition Problem

Popular petitions is a way of allowing people in Brazil to present referendums or legislation to the Brazilian congress.

If 1% of the total population (which is 1.45 million citizens) signed a certain petition, then it is presented to congress.

However, the current system used in transporting and verifying them is already inefficient and outdated.

An initiative has been presented where Ethereum blockchain goes into the picture.

The entire process will be ran through the blockchain such as storing and recording of signatures, which makes it possible to easily verify the authenticity of the signatures.

Certainly makes sense to implement the block chain technology as with regular petitions these days you do not know if someone is signing it many times themselves. Also it is still kinda crazy to see cryptos becoming so mainstream (ETFs, Futures, etc.) even though I understand how revolutionary they can be.
