When the Game Stops
“There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.” -Vladimir Ilyich Lenin
We believe future historians will look back on the eye-opening events surrounding the trading of GameStop (GME) stock as extremely significant to the future evolution of financial market infrastructure.
We’ve titled this “When the Game Stops” because of our heightened conviction that more people are waking up to the massive problems with our existing financial system and are demanding change.
The problems exposed in our opaque and inefficient market infrastructure are not new. What just changed was the broadening visibility of these problems. GameStop helped more people see behind the curtain of how the financial system game is played. And the bipartisan outrage, which is winding its way to Congressional hearings, is justified.
It is hard to imagine a more perfect advertisement for why blockchain technology and DeFi should underpin our future financial system.
One of the most exciting aspects of a more decentralized financial system is that DeFi offers a rare and open opportunity to everyone to invest directly in the next generation of financial infrastructure as it is being built.
At Blockchain.com we are working hard to make sure everyone with an internet connection and computing device, including those without much or any available investable capital, can participate in this new decentralized financial system.
If you are reading this you do not have to sit back and hope or wait for our future financial system to happen. You can not only help make it happen, but you can profit from making it happen.
