Blockchain itself is being more trusted as the future of industry 4.0 revolution. Blockchain technolgy system is mentioned by a lot of people will make easier for users as well as to provide data security compare to current system which centralized to one source only for all these years.
Klaus Schawn on The Fourth Industrial Revolution, What It means and How to Respond, wrote his view about blockchain and era industry 4.0. He said that when the phisical, digital, and biologycal world continue to merge, new technology and platorm will create possibilitites for citizen to get involve in the government, to speak their voice, coordinate their effort, and even to avoid public authority.
That view is a sign that there are a lot of establishment that will be distributed as the consequences of blockchain presence. Slow management in the government, inefective and close will get a lot of tenses from the public. Efforts to Aceh as a close region will be useless since there will be more people who talk in public.
Corrupts that happened due to plenty of dark room on the planning activity and on government as well as institution’s budget will get a lot of pressure, and public resentment will force all management to have no choice but to implement the latest technolocy approach, which is blockchain as one of it.
One of five blockchain technology which recognized by China government is Steem blockchain. On the mei 17th, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released five ranked on blockchain based on three criterias: technology, application, and innovation. Those five blockchain technology are Ethereum, Steem, Lisk, NEO, and Komodo.
Those five blockchain technology use proof of brain to process decentralized information efficiently and secure. Bitcoin blockhain is on the rank 13th. It means that blockchain innovation is moving very fast that even left Bitcoin as the pioneer is left behind.
In Indonesia, Steem blockchain contribution is quite big to help creative economy by providing content. Especially in Aceh, there are a lot of content creator who got helped by additional income through media which build under the Steem Blockchain, which is Steemit.
Now the question, is Steem blockhain able to become a solution for campus, students, as well as Aceh’s government to answer society demand in the middle of this open era and connected by digital?
