• To tap this potential, it's necessary to move away from the individualistic intentions to which blockchain so often applies. For example, taking root in areas that have fallen victim to disaster capitalism like Puerto Rico in the wake of Hurricane Maria.
• To overcome these hurdles, we must scrutinize the sources of these types of technology as well as those that benefit from its implementation.
