Social Aid Blockchain Law in Buenos Aires

Because blockchain technology can be traced to every implementation, there are many systems that use it. Dario Nieto is a senator from Buenos Aires. He proposes to make blockchain a central part of a system that manages social assistance payments. To do this, he proposed a bill to bring an end to many activities that are derived from such programs.

According to Nieto, social assistance payments are often used by various intermediaries for money laundering or forcing recipients into political activity. Nieto said:

Social plans management has evolved into a large apparatus for doing politics. The leaders of social movement extort people by using abusive methods such as asking money returns or a percentage from the plan.

Nieto stated that the blockchain tech could be a solution to this problem, as it makes payments transparent and removes middlemen. He explained:

Blockchain allows money to be transferred directly from the Ministry of Social Development to its beneficiary without the need for any voluntary contributions or favors like attendance control at marches or pickets.
