Part 3/14:
A core theme is the democratization of financial intelligence. The advent of social media platforms like Twitter allows retail traders to be more transparent and accountable, akin to a decentralized hedge fund—a phenomenon exemplified by the WallStreetBets saga. This grassroots movement challenges opaque traditional finance, exemplified by hedge funds and prime brokers operating behind closed doors.
“The WallStreetBets episode was an uprising,” one says, “a group of traders being open about their strategy and taking on big players.” This transparency empowers individual investors and could inspire a broader push for openness in the financial system, leveraging Bitcoin's inherently open ledger.
