I actually think this is where the crypto economy is going to start to fill a gap, as it will incentivize not just global activity for reward, but serving locally for win-win scenarios.
Agree, although I think we are yet to see major implementation of blockchain into local communities. Although I know there are already some projects with city-tokens in the USA etc.
But also Hive is the best example that the normal life can be valuable and exciting too – here on Hive we have people simply sharing their lives and being rewarded for it! Let's see more of that :)
