Live from Bitcoin Beach in El Zonte, El Salvador, we're diving into an interesting discussion of how Bitcoin can be a powerful tool to maintain election integrity through timestamping and immutable election data. Our guest, Carliño, shares his insights on Bitcoin as used in real-world situations beyond the financial systems, and how Guatemala became the first country to protect its election transparency using this revolutionary application of Bitcoin.How can Bitcoin be used to protect election integrity? With Bitcoin’s blockchain technology, the timestamp of election data is possible using the blocks in Bitcoin as a reference for time. It’s not prone to fraud or manipulation and so, provides transparency in the voting process and strengthens the democratic power of a nation, as has been evident in Guatemala. This technological application remains true to the basic principles of Bitcoin of decentralization, transparency, and resistance to censorship.The importance of resistance to censorship also happens to be very personal for Carliño. He and his family experienced being on the watch list of the United States Treasury Department without warning or due process. While in the middle of baseless, unjust sanctions, they have to let go of their employees and close their business. Carliño declares how the government has the upper hand and that decentralization is necessary to achieve financial sovereignty.The conversation shifts to his life in Guatemala and what else Bitcoin can do for their country. As someone who grew up at a time of political unrest in Guatemala, the revolution truly empowered their citizens to live out their democracy, fully participative in overseeing their voting process. Now, with the help of Bitcoin to audit their elections, the citizen’s participation is rewarded with Satoshis. And this is a big step towards Bitcoin adoption.
