Grassroots Economics in Kenya uses blockchain to digitize traditional community aid, creating digital vouchers for labor and resources to enhance local economies and financial inclusion. An article from Toronto Metropolitan University argues that while cryptocurrency has the potential to empower marginalized communities, its development must address the colonial roots of capitalism to avoid deepening existing inequalities. A piece from Punch Newspapers suggests that cryptonomics, the fusion of cryptocurrency and economic policy, could offer developing nations like Nigeria tools for debt reduction, financial inclusion, and economic growth. Finally, a study in Frontiers in Blockchain examines what fosters community and investment in crypto spaces, finding that social reward, a positive outlook, and investment level are key factors in user engagement and identity.
