This week’s guest is the ONE AND ONLY DeFi Dad. As you might've inferred from his name, DeFi Dad is an early DeFi super-user, educator, investor, and host of the DeFi Talks with DeFi Dad… Now A Partner at 4RC (Fourth Revolution Capital) investing early stage DeFi, Web3 media, and Web3 gaming projects, DeFi Dad and I discuss what a beginners need to know about, well, DeFi… Decentralized Finance is a term used ad nauseum in the crypto space, but what is it? We define DeFi in plain English, as well as discuss the most common ways in which the crypto beginner will be exposed to DeFi innovations, current issues in the space, and more. This is often made to be an overly complicated topic, and I can confidently say that this is one of the best DeFi primers i’ve ever heard.
With that, please enjoy my conversation with DeFi Dad For more information about DeFi Dad, please visit http://defidad.com or his Lenstube channel at https://lenster.xyz/u/defidad.lens
