I fully share your concerns. There is a massive amount of blockchain infrastructure which 0.0001% of the world population comprehends. Beyond further technical development and the creation of UX and UI libraries around blockchain internals (like https://blockstack.org is trying to do), we need more education.

I'd love to have more debates like this, but I'm trying to help researchers with simple to use blockchain-based tools (like https://assembl.app/chronos, our timestamping service for research outputs).

Paper voting is, in my opinion, still the most "secure" way to vote. This is mainly because any sort of voter fraud requires a lot of people and a lot of time, whereas flawed technology can be hacked by very few in a very short amount of time.

I'm interested to see how this discussion develops.
