dc.description.abstract

Though blockchain may not reshape lives in the next five years, it may very well reshape those of future generations. As a result, individuals should be aware of the morality of its potential impacts. This thesis will explore three main areas: blockchain’s technical capacity, the necessary conditions which must exist for a government to consider blockchain adoption for public policy use, and how receptive users would be to adopting blockchain technology.
