The Cryptocratic Oligarchy
The key promise of blockchain is simple: to create a decentralised and democratic system that would empower the masses. Yet, as the technology matures, it has become increasingly possible that it could lead to the creation of a new elite. If left uncontrolled, the rise of plutocracy in the blockchain industry can become quite a concern as it threatens to undermine the original ideals of the technology. Blockchain-based systems promise to create trust, transparency, and security. However, the ...

Blockchain and Human Rights: A Match Made in Heaven?
Even the most advanced of technology is not immune to human politics. There will always be ways for humans to influence the tech that also, in turn, limits human actions. With regards to blockchain, developers can only try to strike a balance between the two. They cannot truly opt for one without considering the other.

From Occupy Wall Street to Blockchain Activism
Crypto has always been, first and foremost, a movement about social change. Web3 developers like to dive into blockchain technology and their use cases.
