- [3709041-027](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3709041-027) [predictive/argued] -- Developing and third world countries, unlike developed countries, will likely be enabled by blockchain technology to leapfrog several stages of development that legacy systems would otherwise require.

**2024**

- [4900880-030](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/4900880-030) [condition/argued] -- Developing nations can leapfrog to newer technologies without intermediate steps, but the same transition exposes them to increased global competition for work displaced in developed economies, so leapfrogging does not by itself secure employment gains.
  > While developing nations can leapfrog, they also face significant challenges, as job displacement in developed economies could lead to increased global competition for certain types of work, potentially affecting employment opportunities in developing nations.
