Don’t go babe, gold moves first, then Bitcoin will 😂

Bitcoin is for everyone.

Including institutions and governments.

If you think that means Bitcoin has been “corrupted” then you completely misunderstand it. 

Bitcoin’s code hasn’t changed at all.

They’re bending the knee.

This is what success looks like.

HODL is the only way to survive volatility.   

But for that, you will be rewarded.

Dan Held, General Partner at Asymmetric Financial, joins Digital Assets Forum 3 in London.

Previously, Dan led marketing at Kraken, scaled growth at Uber, and co-founded Interchange and ZeroBlock, later acquired by Kraken and Blockchain.com, respectively.

DeFi Analyst

I first heard about DeFi in 2021.

Markets were in a euphoric rush.📈📉
Farming was the new gold mine. 🥇

Not this 🌾, but “%” yield farming.

Parabolic returns was common thing for most investors and traders out in the market.

“PONZI” was the first word in my mind after looking into returns.

Back then, all of the DeFi stuff made a little sense to me.
Coming to the present day, it’s more gimmicky now.

But, what lies down the rabbit hole of DeFi is:

→ Money legos
→ Money stream
→ Synthetic assets
→ Asset Tokenization

and the list will become longer with every innovative use case.

The future of money-making gimmicks is "dark".
The future of DeFi is "inevitable".

I am not a gigabrain.
Nor am I an expert in DeFi.
I am a commerce graduate with finance, taxation, and accounting background.

Learning about future tech has always been my area of interest.
DeFi proves to be one of the core areas.

I don’t want to get left behind in this new age of tech.
