Another example of this is Excel. Excel is a key player in our financial system, and if it goes down, we could face serious problems.

I see decentralization as a solid solution. For instance, blockchain technology can drive decentralized finance platforms, allowing for peer-to-peer transactions without relying on traditional banks. This enhances both security and individual control over finances.

Commercial open-source solutions are another effective way to promote decentralization. By fostering a community of developers and users, these platforms can create more resilient systems that aren’t tied to a single company. This allows for continuous improvement and innovation.

With AI, we even have an opportunity to empower even more people to develop their own solutions, further driving decentralization.

I have considering launching a VC fund that focuses on these concepts, especially in frontier markets where government are really what stops development. Smh!

If anyone is working in this area - whether in developing markets or elsewhere - I’d love to connect on LinkedIn (Florent Nduwayezu) and just chat!
