Look at Blackhatforums, I forget his username but the earliest person on here @irish who was in on BTC in 2013 or earlier posted that forum and I was looking around, and after doing some reading.. a big part of this is monetizing things that we thought of not as being monetized, for example..
DATA has a value, that data in real world space has no “value” to us, but in tech spaces, it’s UNDERVALUED and has much more value than we could think possible. On that forum, you have people using programs to make money off said DATA by putting it into programs etc
If we got paid for our contributions to said data looks etc, it could have an impact on reduding or lowering the poverty rate globally
Think of all the times companies take from “black Twitter”,and write reports on certain sections of groups etc... said groups get NOTHING from it.. DeFI would literally change that.
