Geographically, Indonesia is found to be conducive and beneficial to implement blockchain, which if not maximized will make this country regret.
At least so views Steven Suhadi, Chairman of the Blockchain Indonesia Association (ABI). He said Indonesia is a country that is conducive in applying blockchain technology, because its form is an archipelago. Moreover, there is no efficient way of connecting all these islands.
"Indonesia is very conducive because inter-island transactions require an efficient system to reach an agreement so that transactions are easier and the movement and progress of our country is also faster, and it is not there yet," Steven said.
"I believe that the system is a blockchain, with the government's initiative to bring the internet to every island in Indonesia, it will greatly help implement the blockchain," he continued.
Meanwhile, according to Constantin Papadimitriou, co-founder of XBlockchain, an organization focused on building a blockchain platform in Asia, electricity is also a significant blockchain advocate for the internet. Therefore, he suggested some more nodes scattered in the country.
"Currently, the nodes are still centralized in Jabodetabek and Surabaya, ideally the government endorse the blockchain by presenting a number of nodes scattered in major cities in Indonesia," said Kiki, greeting familiar.
In addition, according to him, other infrastructure needed is education and understanding and isatifative to study blockchain. The education covers almost all segments, from government, startup, to students.
First the internet, both knowledge and willingness. We're on the perfect stage. If we can get up into the country, surely this system can be translate out as well, "he explained.
Associated with education, Kiki said that currently many requests for programmers who understand blockchain. Considering there are great opportunities in it, Kiki suggests government or private schools in Indonesia could soon provide a curriculum to learn blockchain programming.
In addition to providing adequate infrastructure, the government, which this time will be associated with related associations, is deemed necessary to establish a standard or consensus that all parties can implement so that the benefits of the technology can be felt. This is the duty of the government as a neutral party to bridge the number of companies that may be involved in business competition.
Triawan Munaf, Head of the Indonesian Creative Economy Agency (Bekraf), sees the government's role as very central in unifying the players to agree to use blockchain technology for the betterment of the nation.
In addition, the government as a holder of power is considered not to be left behind and continue to follow the flow of information about the development of blockchain that can be used to advance the Indonesian economy and simplify the bureaucracy.
"We are positioned on a par with other countries because the characteristics of blockchain technology require only intellectual capability.What do the talents of US and Singapore, Indonesia can do, because we have the same starting point, have a big market, so that the implementation is wider than other countries. By looking at it, we should be a very beneficiary, if not used then we will regret, "said Kiki at length.
Associated with the implementation of blockchain in Indonesia, Steven revealed that there is already one of the domestic companies that implement blockchain technology for tax transparency.
In addition, there are also logistics companies, especially supply chains, as well as some other corporations that are exploring blockchain technology for transaction or payment processing.
