Crypto & DeFi can help billions of people - especially those who need it most. And it’s only 7 years old! I’ll tell you why you secretly want to care about DeFi in less than 4 minutes 👇🏾
Why are you reading this?
Maybe you’re among the nearly half of Millennials and Gen X investors who said it would “take a miracle” to retire. You’re worried about skyrocketing public debt & not-so-transitory inflation. For you, crypto represents financial freedom.
Maybe you’re one of the 70% of Americans who disapprove of Congress and no longer trust policymakers to do the right thing given that they spend recklessly and insider trade with impunity. You’re looking for an alternative to central planners in DC and Beijing. For you, crypto is an exit vote.
Maybe you’re one of millions that seethes knowing Wall Street faced no repercussions for fueling the last financial crisis, and tends to profit from federal policies that punish their customers. Or you’re worried about Big Tech’s monopoly power, censorship, and control over your personal data. For you, crypto is a shot across their bows.
Maybe you’re from a country whose economy is tanking. Or maybe you’re one of billions of unbanked people. You want to send money to your family across the country, but you can’t. You want to invest your money in modern financial markets, but you can’t. You want to save up your hard earned money, but you can’t. For you, crypto is your chance to achieve economic freedom.
