Summary - SH

1) Democracy carries a quiet but unsettling contradiction at its heart: we’re told that power comes from the people, yet it’s the state that decides who those people are. Before anyone casts a vote, lines are already drawn—about citizenship, identity, eligibility, and belonging—and those lines shape whose voices matter and whose don’t. So, while democracy promises choice and participation, it also depends on rules set beyond popular consent. For example, when millions of long-term residents pay taxes but are barred from voting, the system speaks in their name without ever hearing their voice. The real measure of a healthy democracy isn’t just how fairly it counts votes, but how honestly it questions who gets counted in the first place. 2) Blockchain technology allows assets to be monetized by turning them into secure digital tokens that represent ownership or claims on real-world value, such as bonds, commodities, or real estate. These tokens can be traded instantly on regulated platforms, reducing paperwork, middlemen, and settlement delays, while allowing assets to be divided into smaller units so more investors can participate. The result is faster transactions, better liquidity, greater transparency, and easier access to capital without changing the underlying asset itself.
