focus on decentralized finance and the MetaverseđŸŽȘ$

The proliferation of the Internet has profoundly altered traditional businesses, causing some to decline while others are growing. With the increasing popularity of the Internet, business owners are encouraged to provide services remotely to increase their revenue streams while maintaining their physical offices. Examples of such businesses include banks, supermarkets, jewelry stores, and automobile spare parts stores (Kreutzer, 2018; Zhou et al., 2007). By contrast, some businesses provide exclusively online serviceswithout accommodating in-person customers, such as Google and Amazon (Hadi Kiapour et al., 2015). In general, the Internet has generated significant changes in the landscape of various jobs and businesses and has given rise to many new and innovative business models that have gained traction among people worldwide.

The digital economy has been shaped by the development of the Internet and cyberspace, giving rise to various technologies such as financial technology (FinTech) (Gai et al., 2018) and insurance technology (InsurTech) (Stoeckli et al., 2018). These technologies are considered the basis for several services that fall under the umbrella of centralized finance (CeFi) (Allen et al., 2002; Hoxby, 1996). Moreover, they have improved and provided assistance for various applications, including accounting, tax, insurance, shopping, customer relationship management(CRM) applications, and trading platforms. In addition, they serve as an introduction to the launch of several other web-based services. Present examples include web-based taxi services, food ordering applications, online payment methods, ticket-issuing web pages, all of which have become an integral part of people’s lives.

Despite the significant assistance and convenience that technology, mechanization, and artificial intelligence (AI) have provided people, businesses and industries, they have also caused the destruction of some traditional jobs (Akerkar, 2019; Canhoto and Clear, 2020; Di Vaio et al., 2020; Harmon and King, 1985) (see Table 1). Consequently, business owners and certain employees who continue to work in classic forms must keep up to date with the latest technological advancements and migrate to the digital era to sustain their businesses and maintain their connections with others.$BTC #HBODocumentarySatoshiRevealed #DoYouHoldBNB #BTCUptober
