Part 9/16:
Beyond remittances, Andreas envisions a world where peer-to-peer lending and crowdfunding flourish free from regulatory overreach. Imagine small-scale entrepreneurs in Africa or Asia raising funds directly from global investors, bypassing traditional banks and middlemen. He discusses distributed autonomous organizations—businesses and governance structures operated via algorithms—that could run transparently without hierarchical control.
He sees Bitcoin’s innovation extending into corporate governance, voting systems, and even political processes. Distributed, verifiable elections and direct democracy become feasible when vote tokens are managed on blockchain, guaranteeing fairness and transparency.
