[RICO] I want to become a blockchain developer because I want to leverage technology (AI, Web3, blockchain, crypto, and smart contracts => DAO) to help small businesses and the bottom 99% take back their wealth from the top 1%. Decentralize, delete middlemen, remove unnecessary fees, and create a truly free market, where even the government will have a hard time unfairly taxing people in this New (Web3) World.
