Likely through a long tail of value props beyond the financial incentive For example, apps that require proof of personhood to use them, or voting schemes that require you to verify as a unique human Also early adoption of new technology often happens in developed countries b/c it is seen as high status

Many things pioneered in America (and arguably more recently China) and then adopted by established countries. “Developing” startups also frequently pioneer technology that “developed” big companies then adopt. I get your point, of course — but ascending/descending world is IMO a better descriptor today.

But wouldn’t world coin tech be developed to developed? And in a borderless society things seem to shift in how this works, no?
