Understanding Decentralisation: Part 1
In this video, I discuss the power dynamics within the banking system, focusing on the influence of government institutions and private financial institutions such as central banks. I explain how these institutions control the flow of money and the rules that individuals must follow when applying for loans or credit. Additionally, I explore the role of blockchain technology in decentralizing the system and empowering individuals to control their own assets and documents. The goal is to address the centralization and lack of freedom in the current banking system by returning power to the people.
