Saving Refugee Lives: Enter the Blockchain?
A group of young Spanish hackers, calling themselves NevTrace, wants to streamline how refugees make it to, and assimilate in, new lands. The team has devised a platform featuring aspects of the Bitcoin technology to register all refugees fleeing the war in Iraq or Syria on a blockchain.
The reality is such: not only could a technology, which uses blockchain features, be used in order to track and register refugees, but, also, it could potentially help them assimilate over the long term into their new countries thanks to its attributes as a database. If there are children involved, the data accumulated on the blockchain registration system could give a clear history of where the child has been, and, possibly, any other desired information.
