(TAKES) What’s on your mind?
Gotta do it
- Bring up the frogs (https://twitter.com/kekspawn/status/1326253486070173696/photo/1)
What’s on my mind?
What is DeFi?
Is Bitcoin DeFi (https://twitter.com/RyanSAdams/status/1326950305725026304?s=20)?
Is Ethereum DeFi?
Is BinanceChain DeFi?
Is PolkaDot DeFi?
Is Cosmos DeFi?
IS DEFI DEFI?
What are you excited about?
DH:
- Ethereum / ETH being understood
- ETH the Internet Bond
- BTC is an evolution on Gold. Therefore, BTC market cap should be much larger than gold
I'm compelled!
- ETH’s market cap should be an evolution on the market cap of bond markets
Never before has there been a hard-money bond market
RSA: sovereign bond market is $57t btw
I’m excited that we’re in a bull run:
If you're new to crypto... Welcome to your first bull run. Things will only getting crazier from here. Buckle up.
