The 20th century saw economic booms and shocks that caused governments worldwide to develop new systems for managing systemic risk while encouraging growth of the private sector. Those efforts have evolved into the financial system we know today, predating the internet by decades and only slowly realizing the benefits of digital technology. Following the Great Recession of 2008, decentralized networks emerged to apply the benefits of internet technology to money and finance, laying the foundation for the burgeoning digital asset ecosystem we see today. What does the future hold for governments, the unbanked, and the foundation of how value is exchanged around the world in light of these remarkable advancements?
