Yes - is the answer to both of these questions. Countries have already closed their borders and imposed travel ban. At the same time, all countries are fighting their own fight against this pandemic. Rich countries are helping poor countries to get out of this situation. So the fight is everywhere to save the human race!


Extreme Nationalism = fascism!

US chosen Trump as their president and India chosen Modi as their Prime Minister. Both of these incidents denotes that world has already seen a rise in the Nationalist power which eventually lead to fascism, less in US but prominently in India!

I believe, we have reached such a time where a global force is needed to fight the human problem with a human way! But it looks difficult because the fascist forces are ruling the major economies, US, China, India. All of these countries are being ruled under various levels of dictatorship who came to the power by spreading hatred towards a particular religious minority. We can just hope for the best!


Exactly that is the reason we will never see blockchain in the governance. If everything within government become transparent, how the power mongers will function?? How the bureaucrats will make money? How the politicians will take the juice out of the economy?? How the police force will indulge in illegal practices?? Do you understand the gravity of this issue?? 

To provide the orderliness of the government and its sector, blockchain will not ever be the solution. Think of the happenings in the past, people create innovation, they make systems and processes to make every thing in order, at the same time, there are also people who are doing their best to counter attack these actions. Blockchain might show potential orderliness to make the government and its systems transparent. But if we are to think of the fact that history repeats itself, it will not be possible as the main response by the government to its implementation will be rejection.

Maybe not everything has to be decentralized. Transformation must be slow but strong. Some adjustments can be made by the central authority. / Thank you for your comment.

You will never see a complete decentralized governance ever in your life. Because there are so many things in an efficient governance that needs to remain as classified. Some progressive governments like Japan or Germany probably will adopt the blockchain for better and transparent governance in some areas but largely you won't see much changes from majority of the other governments.

I have worked with government and beaurocrats earlier in my life. I have a macro level idea on how the system works in third world countries. Transparency is a big no-no in government offices!

Transparency will always be the key towards successful governance wherein the citizens actually help the government achieve a common goal. The problem with today's governments is that most of them are ran by traditional politicians who are so used in the ways of under-the-table dealings and corruption that's why none of them ever embrace the idea of change or innovation. With or without blockchain, if governments would be transparent enough to let people do the balance checks (South Korea and Japan are prime examples), they would be progressive as they can be as people trust them and actually help them improve.

As for a central government of the world, this would certainly not pan out knowing how countries, even in today's time, are trying to best each other in every way possible--and some would even go so far into constructing debt traps, economic sanctions and terrorism just to achieve their goal. Having the current governmental setup that we have today is the best that we can do, since in this case, territories would be better ruled and resource allocation would be a lot easier.

I think governance with blockchain would push off some old practices which where all front liners to corruption. Corruption is one big pandemic before corona virus that is striking people dead  after contact if treatment isn't given on time. I think that blockchain will work better in governance.

The fast-paced globalization has made the world a single community. There are pros as there are cons, advantages as well as disadvantages. But this current pandemic is a loud and clear reminder for all of us that we have made the doors too wide open that everything is pretty much flowing in and out including what could possible destroy each of our countries. It is not only commercial trade that is thriving in a globalized world; it also includes tourism, education, health, and so on. On the negative side, however, diseases, virus, illegal stuff and all are also riding on the waves of globalization. What is happening right now is enough to make us realize that some holes have to plugged and that national causes are to be pursued and strengthened a lot more than international ones.

The economic crisis that is arising from what was initially just a health crisis has also brought us into a realization that globalization has actually made so many nations very dependent on others. We have seen how international trades are severely hampered with just a single country locking down itself. We have even seen how developed countries are all queuing up for their basic health equipment in a foreign country. Some nations are now at the mercy of other nations.

As long as there are sharp contradictions of interests in the economic and political sphere between states, until then we will not see the possibility of global governance of the world. At the same time, the history of the development of mankind shows that it was very rare on our planet when there were years without major wars. Therefore, in terms of managing the world in us, it is unlikely that anything will change in the near future. Unless we appreciate the positive changes in the purification of water and air on our planet after the introduction of quarantine associated with the spread of coronavirus.

Another one preaching about the "new world order" after the pandemic.
In my opinion,nothing will change after the pandemic is gone.Maybe the government debt will go up,the global economy will start recovering slowly,the rich will become richer,because they have bought some cheap stocks and real estate.In general,nothing will change.We can't stop globalization,all the countries depend on each other.
"Blockchain governance" is science fiction.The politicians and clerks will never let go of their power.

There will be new world order, after the pandemic, the world will be back to normal.
China have survive against covid-19 and their economy now is good, so I guess other countries are also possible doing it, it might just take time for them.

Crypto will not rule this world, it will remain in the sideline while the centralized government will continue to hold its power.

On behalf of humanity, all countries should work together to stem the coronavirus pandemic. Corona creates opportunities for each country to resetting their respective economies.

When the corona pandemic in China had started to turn yellow towards green and was almost over, the pandemic in other countries had just begun and was successively spreading to countries around the world. China made it into the pitstop first because it has now begun the recovery process. Each country has different timing for entering the pit stop and recovery. In the recovery process, production activities need indirect acceleration full power so when that momentum is created, because the global supply chain has not yet recovered, each country will concentrate more on meeting domestic consumption needs by maximizing its resources.

In the current conditions, the worst conditions are countries that have debts, countries that depend on dollar loans and countries that rely on imports. If the government is observant, then a country can overtake the corner because the post-pandemic handling of each country will be able to change its position on the global arena, only having to use an out of the box or even no box method. developing countries can imitate the way the United States or China with printing money to solve all economic problems.

With this medical crisis globalisation failed, countries in EU don't support teiself, the example of Germany, or an other example given by Spain, they bout some protection mask and as much i understand americans offer a bigger price, so things are not as they seemed.

Globalism have already failed.

It failed when Trump was elected and when brexit happened. These were the major signs and Covid19 is just the final nail in its coffin.

Look at Italy. Nobody in Europe helped them. No help from Germany, no help from France... England didn't give af neither. No point in staying in EU anymore. England saw this coming long ago.

Name of the game is free for all now.

Well, what else were you expecting them to do in this kind of situation? I am even pissed with the government of my country for not initiating a lockdown earlier and restricting travels; imagine they did that earlier there wouldn't be any cases at all.

But, now since they left the borders open there has been a lot of cases reported and a few deaths, though I'm very happy that lots of people have recovered from it. Everywhere should be on lockdown now and that's the best thing to do, whether people want it or not. The government and big organizations should also do their best to support the people in this difficult time.

Because globalism has a lot to do with the orwellian vision of a communist society, where everone is supposed to be equal.
The EU was made to unite and equalize, create one big country under a central government, but it doesn't work and it will not work for the same reason why you can't ask everybody to do some physical work and get equal payment for it. Some people are strong, others are weak, some are healthy and some are not. You can't put them all in one basket and tell them to lay bricks and get $10 per hour because some clerk thought it would be a good idea.

Countries should work together for a common goal, but we shouldn't expect equality. IMO nationalism better than globalism, but we shouldn't allow to be ruled by xenophobes.

World will be still global, but Country economies will be way more selfsufficient and government will own way more industries as right now. Of course such states will cost more so taxes will be higher.

One of the most powerful technologies of the present day is blockchain technology.But it can be said that in the near future, the whole world will be able to bring about a change but there are some bad aspects to it, and the reason why different people are trying to present it badly to the government and that is why it is so easyNo country's government will rely solely on blockchin technology

There won't be any big shift because of the coronavirus, this isn't the first epidemic and economic crisis in human history and it's sure not the last. Nothing changed after the 2008 crisis, or the SARS outbreak of 2004. And even if there will be some fundamental changes, it won't be about blockchain. No one cares about blockchain in the real world, and the governments are occasionally talk about it just to look progressive, but no one is going to use it.

Governance is the big problem, and even the European Commission's innovation/blockchain boss in a recent interview (https://www.thebanker.com/World/Central-Eastern-Europe/EC-blockchain-head-addresses-the-regulatory-challenge?ct=true) said so. Europe's keen on relaxed regulations for crypto, keeping it to the bare minimum of AML and fraud plus data privacy, but even with everything else, governance is the part they're facing challenges with.

Been many people try tackling this problem and even with Bitcoin we still see people disagreeing over how things happened in 2017/18 and continue to do so. Imagine politicians and bureaucrats fighting it out with developers.

Definitely national, global does happen time to time, it affects the nation one as well, it is just how the world works and has always been like that, global turning into national.

Maybe it wasn't really all that obvious to people who were watching only their own nations but remember during the 2008 period when Obama was elected which was very difficult thing to do from a black american since there is racism still going on in USA, there was a lot of left leaning parties who won their elections in all around the world, what happened after that? Right parties got more and more avid on what they want and they wanted back, nowadays there is a lot more people who are right leaning who goes out to vote because they saw what left did and didn't want the same thing again.

I think it should be global but we cannot make it happen because we come from centuries of nationalism. Nationalism isn't that bad but if we could make globalism work and have one world government we would prosper. We'd be able to colonize space much faster and achieve something we are used to seeing in science fiction series like Star Trek.

Blockchain governance could work but we'd need a big reset first because without it it's going to take centuries before people evlove and understand that we could achieve so much more if we worked together instead of spending billions on intercontinental missiles and other things to keep other nations at bay.

The new world will be national. The situation with medical equipment clearly demonstrated this, first of all, each country will take care of itself, and even such unions as the EU have shown that no one will help anyone to the detriment of themselves.

Even nationalism helps fast interacting with infected areas, being national means that we are not ready for the next epidimic which will be with a progressive version of one of the viruses.
I think it should be global. The experience teaches us that such major problems can be avoided if we act as a unit. If humanity will keep fighting each others for greed benefits and powers, then nationalism is the perfect framework, but if humanity learned the lesson that we are "as humans" fighting to survive in a real harsh planet, we will spend more energies in creating a better world for everybody.
Viruses and natural dangers make damages globally and all the planet is infected. Let's all focus on reacting over this like we are all now working to fight the same ennemy.

Anyway, I continue to think that the world will become more national, because during different pandemics, each state will not reckon with the interests of others. In the scientific field, this cooperation is still possible, but I don’t think so with finances and medical equipment.

If it doesn't go well with finance and medical equipement, then that cooperation is not the best choice to get. Let's just think of everything globally and we will surely find the right way to manage everything.
One of the greatest lessons from the actual corona pandemic is that the health situation of anybody in the planet is important for the safety of all the rest.

no mate  . on this corona pandemic we see how people help each other as well as others countries too and that help can be medical equipements but not mostly money because medical equipment are now out stocks  .

with blockchain , the world can become global because blockchain was online can can be used anywhere  and so far i havent see any country restrict blockchain but they only restrict cryptocurrencies  but i can sense that these crypto restriction can be removed soon

Before the pandemic, everything went to the point that the world was to become united, because globalization was in full swing.
But now the borders are closed, and this is a mandatory factor for globalization. What will happen next depends on how long we stay in isolation.

The tendency and campaign of all parties starting from the community, the country to WHO is lockdown. Information about corona is still doubtful, but the panic caused by corona is reality. Limiting direct interaction and using technology and internet-based communication tools is a new form of human interaction. Coronavirus in an instant has changed the acceleration into slowing and even death, changing progression to regression.

The corona pandemic is a deadly attack on globalization, the coronavirus has created the 'turning point of globalization', the virus has stopped the massive flow of globalization that has been praised, namely the unlimited movement of people, goods and services globally. Viruses have devastated globalization-capitalism, which is claimed to be unstoppable by any power. Globalization characterized by conditions of interconnection is now replaced by interruption; by interdependence, now interdependence is taken over; by mutual cooperation now exchanged for mutual suspicion.

The world without borders has now become a world that is partitioned, locked, locked and isolated. What has been described as the 'village of the world' is now transformed into the villages of the world, which are isolated from one another. The global world imagined as being built by an 'open society', in which everyone is free to move globally because it is no longer limited by geographical, economic, religious, ideological and cultural barriers, has now transformed into a world with 'society closed society (closed society), in which people cannot freely move, move, or travel, even in their own cities or villages - an irony of globalization.

In the 21st century, the scheme is who moves slowly, he will die! The speed of progress is key. Blockchain is synonymous with algorithms and something that has a wow effect, this wow effect is what makes many countries want to dominate technology and become world rulers in a new form framed in the industrial revolution 4.0

The industrial revolution is a major change in the way humans process resources and produce goods. The industrial revolution was a phenomenon that occurred between 1750 - 1850. At that time, there were massive changes in agriculture, manufacturing, mining, transportation, and technology. These changes have an impact on social, economic, and cultural conditions in the world.

Revolution 1.0 the discovery of a steam engine.
Revolution 2.0 the discovery of electricity.
Revolution 3.0 the invention of the computer.
Revolution 4.0 automation and data exchange trends. cyber-physical systems, internet of things (IoT), cloud computing, and cognitive computing.

Although you have many ideas for blockchain companies in particular and blockchain technology in general during the epidemic season, I believe that no one wants to look for this type of technology. I also see daily articles about blockchain technology that can dominate the world or be part of people's lives. But after 10 years of development, this technology has been widely used? What's worse is that many real estate businesses and distribution companies have used it but it really doesn't have high productivity. Everything needs to go through a fairly long and difficult process to control. I am afraid that blockchain can only be operated in this crypto market.

With what happens in this year, maybe we will see a new transformation globally because everything has changed because of Coronavirus spreads in many countries. We can say so many guesses about what will happen after this pandemic is over even we can say that the government will use blockchain but we still not ready to use that because we need a big change or it's like a revolution in many sectors. Well, I am not an economist, but I think the government still prefer to use the old system than to try to use the new system. But everything can have a possibility to happen in the future since we can only guess without know if that will happen or not.

I think it would be global.

Technologies are great and if we will be talking about Blockchain technology, I think it would be usually used in the transactions of each country. This pandemic showed us that some countries can't depend on themselves as they are leaning to other countries when it comes to getting their economies better. Japan helping China, other countries helping other countries as well. With the lockdown of China, other countries are also affected as China has a huge impact on the country's economy.

World conditions that are rife with lockdown and isolation due to the corona pandemic are clear evidence that there has been a deglobalization, massive desocialization, deacceleration, and deculturalization.

Globalization is identical to the conditions of interconnected, interdependent, a world without borders, open society, freedom of people to move globally because there are no more geographical, economic, religious, ideological and cultural barriers. Now the world is transformed into a closed society even in its own environment. The role of technology is dominant in a closed society. Economic and information globalization has brought humanity into a scheme of speed and acceleration of change with the aim of progress but, the coronavirus has transformed acceleration into slowing and even death. Global economic, social and cultural networks are slowing down, and may even be followed by a variety of helplessness, despair, pain and even the death of globalization. Social media is a social glue media in a climate of fear, isolation and global separation.

Unfortunately, many countries often think too late, fail to understand, are slow to react, forget to anticipate, and have difficulty executing. The state fails to plan, regulate, manage, coordinate and implement policies to save the country from the corona.

Good comment! But take a look at blockchain at this moment? Can you say that someone is controlling us, controlling the news we read!? Can you tell the difference now? In the world out governments closed their borders, their businesses, they opposed harder control, but here on the blockchain we don't have such problems, we are free as we were last year in the same time, or the one before ...
If we want to have a better future for all of us we need a world without borders, open society and all other things you mentioned! But to achieve that we will need a tool, and that tool is blockchain, simple as that! Nothing else can give us decentralized governance where all people can be involved in making decisions.

We all can see in the current crisis globalisation is not the solution, everyone is for their self so i have a strong belief governance with blockchain will be national.

People really have no choice because they have no work and they don't have enough funds just to continue their lives because it is already spent during the pandemic. If this pandemic already ended and everything goes back to normal. I'm pretty sure that people will really become problematic because of the bad effects this virus brought to us.

Probably, people will rely on the government as they should still give some help to people even if the pandemic ends, just to let them survive and start again working with their jobs and have enough salary just to recover from their losses in the budget while the virus is active.

The politician will still be the powerful person as they are still in their position and can still manipulate the people and economy.

The countries on the outside are trying to help each other , like - Ukraine despite the bad comments by the US president , Donald Trump , is helping them out with their Cargo .
India is also approving shipping of drugs to Ukraine , the HIV one's which are being used for treatment of Corona Virus.
China is also helping other countries by sending their armed professionals .
There are numerous examples , but at the same time once the pandemic is over , since US fell down quite hard with their economy now the countries will be competing for their spot in the economically developed nations.
Till Corona Virus is here people are doing their best to help it from spreading to other countries because the only way they can work is together.

Unfortunately on the sidelines ,
US is investing how Corona Virus originated in the Labs of China , the will go on a much larger scale once they have some leads .

Things will always be competitive with nations , unfortunately the government at the end will remain same . We need to overturn the whole governmental sector + bring major changes then only we can think about living without borders.

Globalization is not an unlimited permissionless process, it needs the government to open the door of globalization. Just like permissioned blockchain to contribute, you must get an access key to become a validator. Blockchain administration means staying centralized, not like a decentralized blockchain.

Corona in fact indeed makes the country compartmentalized, and proven even though Corona is a global pandemic there is no cohesiveness of all countries in overcoming. Each country focuses on the problems in their respective countries. Having the same enemy does not mean we have to be together.

The coordination of every country has been stopped to beat the Corona epidemic However the administration is going to be formed through blockchain Although globalization has an impression on globalization within the development of industrialized countries it's no effect on the blockchain The blockchain is under the control of the govt and acts as directed by the govt.

I think corona pandemic was just a tool to get people locked! As much as I would like to see the global world with blockchain governance, I think we are still far from that. Two reasons are behind that, first is that Blockchain is maybe not ready for that stage, we still need a lot of improvements, development. Second is that old generations are holding us back, and bloody system with politicians as leaders. In the next 50 years, we will see some necessary changes, we can just hope to be alive to see that, some of us!

In the beginning the sentence "Governance with Blockchain" is wrong.
If we have blockchain adapted in our society then we will not need any governance in our world as everything is going to work under electronic rules.
So the answer is that neither Global or National governance is going to be needed.

Considering people do not even like each other in the same nation, it is impossible to build a global world right now, look at all the nations in the world and you will see what we may call racism but the reality, one race hates the other and because of it that race hates the other one as well, which means people of the same nation hates each other, when race wars are as big as this, how can we really hope that blockchain somehow could change that and have a governance around the world?

It is impossible for now and honestly I would say it is not going to happen anytime soon. You know what could change that? If we could have a totally new race, not like aliens are coming in anytime soon which means we are not going to have that at all. I see smaller nations instead of a bigger global one in our future.

Corona is one of the large scale disasters that believe it or not happen for a reason.
Creating good governance surely belongs to each nation as their respectable responsibility towards their society but when it comes to global matters I must say we are still controlled by one source financially.

As we all know that the condition of the economy since a few decades ago has always been inclined to (it’s said) the handful of people or groups who control the world's finances. That is also one of the core reasons why bitcoin was born.
People in any country in this world want fundamental changes that their hopes can be made by the government or state authorities. But their dreams have not been achieved, they still have to work throughout the year as the majority of the common people. Here we talk about money. As a book author I admire bitcoin as the first cryptocurrency and blockchain as its platform by publishing a book but then until I find year ago who is a hidden figure that able to lock down world banking access that has been abused for so long and the asset was robbed by a group of misguided elites by using many third parties. Do research by yourself how the fed acts currently, how big countries and big bankers reacts.

This 2020 is the time after disasters (including corona) a World Bank report holder and also a holder of FATF report, will show off to start a revolution of New world. You don’t have to believe what I have just described above, but let see how Monetary One will do next with her control (kwantum computer) over nine hundred eighty seven bank account that belongs to over a hundred twenty countries and corporations.

A revolution for the welfare of the world community.

Blockchain could be something game changing if we could put it on voting systems. Right now in the world there are so many nations that has dubious amount of shady stuff going on with the voting and if you only included somehow a way for people to vote just with some online blockchain address that is only accessible by them and some ways to prevent both theft of your blockchain address somehow and also a way to keep it at your hands whenever you want just in case someone forgets how to do it, that way we could potentially have game changing stuff in the political world.

Moreover, if you want to go and vote you can, but if you want to stay at home just logging to your government address with however you want and vote for whoever you want and you will be done, untraceable is another issue that will be solved because nobody really wants to know who they are voting for should be public record as well.

If the current administration is corrupt then blockchain won't be entertain as subject to add for elections, simply because they are going to be caught in the future election, aside they have represents on their parties to run for the next candidacy. Blockchain is indeed a huge help to ease the anomalies during election but I guess even if we want it we are going to have a hard time developing it and will have a lot of back testing.

I prefer not to vote, not because I don't want to but because here in our country the votes does not count anymore, we already have a winner even before the election has started.

For globalists, the role of the state is not important, because globalists do not have a sense of nationalism. Plutocracy is attached to them where officials in many countries they can pay and they influence and unity in many countries can be consolidated by using pressure devices, at this time used by globalists to suppress is the corona pandemic.

If many countries can overcome the pandemic in the next two months, the economy will only enter the recession stage, but if the corona can only be stopped in the next nine months, the recession will become depressed and if in two years the condition does not change, there will be a great depression. And to get out of great depression, the moves must be new or so-called "new normal". New normal is what will become the economic foundation going forward to meet recession, depression, and great depression again. New norms can be created if there is decoupling and must be separated from the past.

Unlike the non-realistic optimists who want to return to the old norms. Globalists do not care, hyperinflation, depression, or great depression because they already have a new norm scenario. Decoupling and Great Depression help globalists to take control and accelerate the process., Even though victims are caused by a pandemic of millions of people, globalists don't care.

Understanding the current world conditions cannot be separated from the shadow competition in America between Trump's nationalist camp and the globalist Bilderberg gang. The globalist is an important opportunist who can get the money that is important as the economy rotates. The Bilderberg group has a plan to change the world epicenter to be completely digital and the shadow that will control the world's big data system. The shadow is doing destruction to reset it according to their main goal.

That is what is important, the government. Whether blockchain adoption, the government need to be at the top priority to oversee every aspect, of the adoption. That is the structure that needs to be in place fowl whatever adoption

IMO, the New world may be global or national there's still no assurance yet until we cross the bridge and when we are already there on the days after the pandemic. We may see it now that most countries have closed their borders right now and that is only to protect their citizen and avoid the spread of the virus. However, it isn't guaranteed that it will be permanent.

For globalization had been accepted widely and many third world countries depend on this to make their economy rise including overseas employment has s huge factor for the economy on both sides. During this pandemic, countries are already working as one to find the solution for this virus and that already signifies globalization is still existing even with borders. After the pandemic when a cure or vaccine is available, there might be changes but blockchain may not be the solution for it has disadvantages as well as access to personal identity and privacy.

It is precisely the situation in which the world today is due to the coronavirus, which almost opened the eyes of humanity to the shortcomings of their government, as well as to how much harm humanity does to the environment and to itself through its actions.  I believe that this is really the beginning of the process of a new world order and the relationship between people and governments will also change dramatically, since in many countries governments are not responding correctly to the challenges that face the country and, accordingly, the people themselves remain with their own problems.  if in certain countries people still suffered constant inflation, poverty and unemployment, while they themselves looked for ways out to provide their family with the most necessary financially, the coronavirus problem showed how unarmed people are and in the near future this will cause a wave of dissatisfaction with the government  providing new requirements for it.

I think that most of us understand that the current closure of state borders is a necessary and temporary measure. Nowadays, states cannot successfully function in isolation from other states.
Blockchain technology promotes global governance. However, this is an opportunity, not a necessity. Governments and people themselves will decide on what issues need to be united, and on which to defend national positions.

Now there is a tension that may even be a battle between the globalist and nationalist groups represented by the United States. According to Globalists, the destruction of the world order today is caused by cross-interest between countries. The Globalist Group wants to create a one-currency system that is not dominated by a certain group or currency. Algorithms and blockchain matrices are considered the most relevant in realizing the ideals of this globalist group.
