It’s Monday the 20th of December and as we stumble haphazardly towards Christmas and the inevitable deluge of best of year end lists from and all that I thought we might go in a different direction today. We’re going to offer up a gift to someone who’s built up a sizable audience in traditional finance content creation and began talking about NFTs and cryptocurrencies on a regular basis this year. Andrei Jikh is now one of the most recognisable faces in the world of finfluencers. I have nothing but the utmost respect for how he’s managed to build an audience with a subscriber count pushing hard towards 2 million. So what to get the person who seems to have everything? Well, Andrei, today we give you the gift of knowledge. We’ll take this video that you dropped just a few short days ago and add some additional insight from our side. This is a space we know… really well and I think it might just give your audience greater clarity and solid ground with which to make good investment decisions.

Juan Benet is the founder of Protocol Labs and the inventor of the Inter Planetary File System, a peer-to-peer network for storing and sharing data. He’s also the creator of Filecoin, a storage network incentivised by crypto. Both of Juan’s ventures are hugely ambitious as they are in direct competition with the basic rails of the internet, with protocols such as HTTP and data giants like AWS. ✨ Check out our new website ✨ https://thedefiant.io/ ?
