Small businesses are doomed. If they're not closed, they're being broken into. Wealth is being funnelled towards monopolies in a world economy that is anything but free. (If you want to work for a monopolistic organization, have fun selling your soul.)
If there is any hope of individual entrepreneurs making an honest living in this new era, they need:
1. TO SELL THEIR GOODS AND SERVICES ONLINE
2. Easy to use Decentralized platforms that let everyone with an internet exchange goods and services for any currency (such as the Virie Market-https://www.virieproject.com/) without centralized intervention. Basically an international, decentralized Craigslist with a built-in payment system that lets you use crypto, fiat or goods and services as payment (no bank accounts necessary-still billions of unbanked)
3. Inform themselves of the needs of people in other countries. Beggars are not choosers and this is great for business. You have something valuable that people elsewhere don't have.
Any other suggestions?
