In this monologue, the speaker highlights the massive portion of the global population that lacks basic banking services and is excluded from many financial instruments due to accredited‑investor requirements (e.g., a $2 million net‑worth threshold). They explain that traditional finance restricts hedge‑fund participation and other sophisticated tools to a privileged few. By contrast, decentralized finance (DeFi) operates without accredited‑investor status, offering open, permissionless access to the same financial products to anyone—from individuals earning $30 a month in developing nations to everyday users in the United States. The speaker argues that this openness dramatically expands financial inclusion, providing powerful tools to both third‑world populations and ordinary consumers.

Did you know that there's a large percentage of the world that doesn't even have access to a bank account? There's these financial tools that other people did not have access to that now they have access to. If you wanted to take your money and put it into a hedge fund, you actually have to qualify for accredited investor status. Means your net worth has to be $2 million plus. You don't have access to a lot of tools because you're not an accredited investor. In DeFi, you have access to everything. There is no accredited investor status. It is open. So that means all these people in third world countries that maybe only make $30 a month now have access to the same tools that somebody that has making $2 million a month over here in the United States. This gives a lot more people access to financial tools. For third world countries, it's obviously helping them a lot, but also for the everyday person, it's giving us access to tools that we did not have.
