--Three Key Takeaways--

Soulbound tokens are a type of unique decentralized digital identity that represent your traits, achievements, credentials, etc.
Self-custody effectively makes you your own bank. With this comes many benefits, but also a lot of risks and responsibilities. As a benefit, it means that you have true ownership over your money, and are not bound to any centralized financial institution or exchange.
In some regions of the world, there is greater access to internet and mobile services, than there is to banking services. In these regions, digital currencies are a great solution to help narrow the gap to financial inclusion.
