RE: What is Defi?

in HODL4 years ago (edited)

Thanks @fun2learn for this entry! I love how you describe DeFi as "online banks". I think you are largely right to say that. I also like that you pointed out that there are risks involved, like any kind of investments.

Just to point out that BlockFi and Crypto.com are centralized custodial solutions that allow users to earn interests on their cryptocurrencies. Strictly speaking, they are not DeFi. Some call them CeFi (centralized finance), some still categorize them as DeFi but it is right at the spectrum where almost everything is centralized.

Once again, thanks for your contest entry! Hope you don't mind if I cross-post this to the DeFi Campus community?

Thanks for sharing this as I really thought BlockFi and Crypto.com are DeFi so they are a bit in the grey side since there are differ opinions. Good that I stated I am new so I am open to corrections for those who have better knowledge in this. Feel free to cross-post! 😁
