Legal Identity for All: Can Bitcoin’s Blockchain Rise to the Challenge?

The United Nations aims to make it possible for all people to have a legal identity, including birth registration. This is one of the targets under the overarching goal of eradicating extreme poverty for all people everywhere by the year 2030. But providing an ID for everyone is a tremendous challenge. That is why experts are looking at Bitcoin’s blockchain technology as the solution.

So the blockchain can be used to carry out a census... that's good to know. If the UN succeeds at this venture, it will blast the awareness of bitcoin and the blockchain technology to the moon.

Interesting to see the United Nations involvement.  This reminds me of the "Blockchain Girl" who had her identity from the blockchain.  This only makes sense as the blockchain cannot be forged or changed.  Also, never lose your passport again!
