Open Money is more than money

Open Money is presented as more than a financial system: it is a foundation for reimagining the digital world, where identity, user control, collaboration and participation take new forms. The article starts with money because it is a universal building block that touches nearly every aspect of life. It contrasts today's fragmented internet identities, which are often controlled by platforms such as Facebook and Google, with self-sovereign identity built on blockchain and cryptography. It also cites zero-knowledge proofs and decentralized networks for privacy, and DAOs for collective decision-making without traditional hierarchies.
