Occupational licensing = artificial scarcity by design

It chokes supply, pumps prices, and kills quality by gatekeeping competition.

The real play? Unions, guilds, and trade associations literally pay politicians to cartelize their industries.

Same energy as legacy finance lobbying against crypto. Rent-seeking disguised as "consumer protection."

Decentralization breaks this model. No middlemen. No gatekeepers. Just merit and market forces.

This is why we build.
