According to Aristotle's definition, the public good equates to performing actions in the best possible way, which requires prioritizing human institutions, science, technology, and rational processes within political structures. This implies achieving conditions where justice is realized in society in the most optimal manner. Blockchain is considered a symbol of the dominance of modern sciences over politics, with the potential to promote the public good in society and politics. However, it also entails significant risks, encapsulating the "blockchain dilemma."
Blockchain presents humanity with two possibilities in relation to the state. One possibility relates to the technology's capability to weaken state sovereignty, transcend the boundaries of nation-states, undermine the oversight functions of governments, and, through the invention of cryptocurrencies, strip the state of its most powerful tool—money. On the other hand, blockchain technology has the potential to achieve the public good in the most effective way and bring the concept of the ideal state into tangible reality. This ideal state, by leveraging modern technologies, can fulfill its core functions—such as accountability and service delivery—in the best possible way and become a turning point in political matters, such as enhancing bureaucratic and democratic standards.
