I feel they are just been unreasonable stubborn about it but on the long run, they would have a second thought and have no other choice than to embrace it fully. Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency as a whole is passing through refining processes and the result afterwards will be mind blowing.

it can have advantages
before military treasuries had to trust that when a procurement department ask for $5m.. that the $5m actually went to buying 2 engines of $2.5m as oppose to 2 engines of $2.4m and $200k in someones back pocket.

this way. the engine manufacturer can price the engine at $2.4m.. and add a identity for the engines. and send an invoice to the army base who then hand it to the pentagon who then hand it to the treasury. knowing no one can falsify the invoice while all departments agree that the items are needed

the pentagon, armybase and the temp working in the warehouse are then not handing funds. but instead the payment is locked to the engine manufacturer company and is only released when the engines are received by the armybase.

the downside of blockchain WAS. is that not every transaction needs to be kept forever. but because the blockchain in this example is not about a fixed supply currency where the origins of the funds need to be tracked back to its creation years prior the blocks can be prunned away after every 6 monthly treasury budget review

EG the treasury has $200b to hand to DoD. so the treasury creates 200b treasury credits.
they get transacted around the different departments. and within 6 months the engine manufacturer  and can show the path back to the DOD, pentagon, army base so gets the 4.8m treasury credits. and then sells the credits for $4.8m

after 6 months a new chain of 200billion treasury credits is made

there doesnt need to be an eternity existing single chain that keeps hold of decades of data on one chain forever growing

too many ICO's think that it has to be 1 chain and having to predict a token supply that will last a lifetime
EG a DoD chain of 40trillion credits to cover 100 years.
instead it can be 200 chains of 6 month budget worth of tokens per chain(created at each 6 month budget meeting). thus the system is covered for 100 years. where not all 200 chains need to exist for 100 years but can be deleted after 6months-10 years(whatever is practical)

The military always uses advanced technology. However, the use of BLOCKCHAIN in China, Russia and the US does not in any way affect the lobbying of the legalization of cryptocurrencies.

Is anyone even a little surprised that the military all over the world is looking into blockchain? Whenever a new idea comes along then the military will look at it's impact and will if it shows the promise  they will either buy up the idea or subvert it for their own ends.

Blockchain technology is already changing the way Traditional buisness was being done. Internet was invented for Military use. Lets see what next will get invented after using Blockchain tech for Military use.

I think not only in Chaina, Russia and USA but also every big house in world are in race of blockchain. As they are technologically strong and can catch up new things very firstly.  Blockchain is such kind of technology that you can not give up it with out knowing. so i think it is more please for us who are related with blockchain.

We all know that bitcoin is very huge and very potentiating crypto currency and on the same hand is decentralised crypto currency so there is no such proper authentic regulating body over the bitcoin who could keep eye over all the bitcoin activities and thus leading to illegal use but on the top of all that there are few countries who has legalised crypto currency in their nation after getting the fate and potential of bitcoin and this is the thing of grace that these countries are using Blockchain technology for military purposes.

I always say that blockchain technology is able to adapt with any situation, even blockchain will give benefit to all government, financial, health, religious and military systems.

I think the benefits of blockchain for military institutions is as a commodity for storing weapons transactions, and recording every war strategy.

The military always uses the most advanced technology. The Pentagon already has a quantum computer. What is surprising? the military - industrial complex uses the technology of the blockchain - this is the norm. All that is cost much develop, use now for military purposes and then in other less important areas.
China, Russia, the United States are superpowers that do not skimp on security costs.
But for some reason it seems to me that they will use centralized blockchain systems. It is not logical to show competitors your costs or development in blockchain network.
