Vitalik Buterin considers blockchain an effective defense against dictatorships
Buterin emphasized that blockchain technologies in authoritarian countries and dictatorships help the population maintain at least some privacy. According to him, the blockchain can create and provide a safe digital space for users to communicate.
At the same time, Buterin drew attention to the fact that not all blockchain technologies can be used in liberal states, since they do not have repressive mechanisms for persecuting freedom of speech and expression.
During a discussion with Hoy Smith, the co-founder of Ethereum drew attention to the fact that the Internet is now fragmented into many small and specialized communities. According to him, they are trying to protect themselves from censorship and disinformation on the global network, as often happens with social network X, which is banned in Russia, and other social platforms.
Vitalik Buterin believes that the information space is increasingly turning into a notorious war of everyone against everyone, and new mechanisms are needed that would ensure the maintenance of the social ball nsa during dialogues on the Internet.
According to the programmer, we need to use blockchain more in everyday life, as well as cryptocurrencies, so that they contribute to the development of democratic institutions on a global scale .
