* Puts the whole world on the same level of financial freedom and participation - farmer in Africa without an internet connection permissionlessly invests in a Chinese tractor company via text.

* Solves the problem of ownership - no need for house, car, etc title companies.

* Brings a new level of honesty to the financial world - auditing industry goes away because it's not possible to cook the books.
