i think buy-now-pay-later schemes are modern financial world's most vicious creations. it lets the middle-class that they can afford the higher luxury. and they get lured into it only to find themselves soft-chained into not taking extreme risks. which ultimately leads to them.

bet on me and you'd never fumble!.
The biggest fumbles and the biggest wins in my entire 8 years in crypto (jesus christ i’m old) have one thing in common. Betting on founders and team vs. the idea. I fumbled the seed rounds for Ethena, EtherFi & Babylon because I deemed the original ideas to be not interesting,.

i've observed that lending markets in defi are very polarized. 1/. on one hand, you have over-collateralized lending protocols like @aave , @MorphoLabs & @sparkdotfi with collateral ratios (CR) > 100%, typically around 120-150%. super safe with deposit APY in the range 3-5%.

it's weird once you realize how crypto companies message their brand vs how web2 product companies do it. take an example of a food delivery app. it's tagline -- "order healthy food in 10 mins". now i get what the company does. i also understand as an end customer what i'm.

this is why big banks are worried. crypto needs a strong enough lobbying arm too. we need unity among blockchain ecosystems 💪.

fed cutting rates would be huge for institutional defi. coupled with the existing state of markets:.- ATHs for crypto assets like ETH, BTC.- regulatory landscape improving significantly.- DATs looking to deploy for sustainable yields. this time will be very different from what.

i agree. the entire point is to make onchain finance programmable & automate the inefficiencies of traditional finance. else, it's just tradfi all over again just masked differently.
i have been away from defi for 8 months. now that i am back with a fresh pair of eyes, I can see one definitive trend: DeFi is becoming institutional at the risk of being absorbed by TradFi. The point is not to be acquired and absorbed by traditional finance, but to automate it.

just fucking win. nothing else matters. and in order to do that, you need to survive. you need to stay in the game. focused, motivated & always on the lookout for the best way to win. in the jungle, there's always chaos. hunter instincts & clarity creates winners.
The hard part of being a founder isn’t raising money, that’s the easy part. It’s waking up for years wondering if it’ll ever work. It’s hearing “no” constantly. It’s pivoting for the 7th time in 3 years. It’s watching your best teammates quit. It’s reinventing the company.

the exit liquidity for stablecoins matter more than their advertised juicy yields. from the article:.". In times of stress, whether caused by huge leverage unwinds or broader liquidity shocks, stables face a race for exits. When liquidity depth is thin, prices can break from.
