Ethereum a Force of Good
summary
Built a major DeFi protocol from a university hobby into a battle‑tested system over seven years, proving onchain finance can work at scale. Claims: Ethereum delivers censorship resistance, programmable trust and lower transaction costs via L2s, enabling micropayments, stablecoins for remittances and putting RWA on chain. Notes concrete wins (stablecoins in inflationary markets, Lens social primitives) and hard numbers — about seven years of progress and roughly 27 million people still in modern slavery as an area to target.
