Thinking On Paper

Bitcoin came from the ashes of hyper-complex financial tools that only a few bankers understood. Is history repeating itself?

DeFi (Decentralized Finance) might be reshaping the financial world, but it remains complicated. Bitcoin may offer Financial freedom, or at least give you the keys to your own bank, but the innovative solutions offered by blockchain technology and cryptocurrency are not for the light of heart. How long before you have an AI agent looking after your finances?

Joined by Kurapika, the founder of Factor-fi, Mark and Jeremy learn how tools like liquidity pools, lending protocols, and smart contracts are - in theory - simplifying access to advanced financial strategies. From Bitcoin’s rise and how you can use DeFi’s to bypass traditional systems and optimize assets through decentralized solutions, todays episode has a steep learning curve.

Kurapika explains how Factor bridges the gap between complexity and accessibility, enabling experts and everyday users to benefit from tools like permissionless vaults and yield optimization.

Yikes.
