Recommendation
Do you have anything for sale? Consider yourself. The ascent of democratized finance, emerging from developments in decentralized finance, is shaping a new ecosystem in which you’re the product.

But in a world where everyone is an investor, everyone can be an investment, Woodbury astutely notes, running the risk of human relationships becoming purely transactional.
