We used to think of concepts like “The Future of Work” and “FinTech Innovation” as some cool incremental innovation to how our society operates within an economy. In 2020, the global pandemic has forced billions of people to transition their lifestyle to “Work From Home”, in addition, the disruption caused by mobility restrictions created unprecedented economic instability, the legacy financial institutions and policy makers are again incompetently abusing the only levers they are familiar with: Printer Money Go BRRRRRR

DeFi is all the rage! But hold on, where are all the Bitcoin OGs to whom everything in life is a question to which bitcoin fixes it!
