It's time for the OP and people agreeing with the article look deeper into DeFI. https://compound.finance/ & https://pooltogether.com/ are two great examples. Borrow or lend (and earn interest (on dollars if you wish so by using stablecoins like USDC or DAI) much higher than in banks), or participate in no-loss lotteries. All you need is an internet connection and you can use it without any arbitrary rules imposed by governments or companies.
If you are into technology and finance, you should be in awe with this stuff in my opinion.
