Anchor Protocol is offering a revolutionary new fixed interest savings product using UST as collateral. Monday's quick take delves into the mechanics behind the product and how 20% isn't always 20% but should always return there.
You can find a nugget of creativity in every video we put out in this channel. This video is a monster compilation mixtape video of every skit, gag, joke, motion graphics, visual effects of everything we've done since day 1.

This is the Defiant's foundational guide to the Metaverse. It would take way way too long to go into all the different expressions of the Metaverse but this is our view of how the core of this exciting new space is not about immersive universes with hypercolour graphics but something far simpler and more profound.
With thanks to Piers Kicks, Matthew Ball and Eric Elliot whose work was such a huge help in putting this together.
During the presentation ironically videos hosted on Google Drive refused to stream so I've included the presentation for you to view at your own leisure.

1:16:12 All the games on blockchain are nothing burgers only thing that's holding everything up is hopium to become rich, the entire space is built on greed everything else is noise to lessen the pain
1:19:18 How about how cool the real world is. The virtual world is still horrible. The virtual world is not going to be as big as immersed reality. virtual in the real world.

Santiago Roel Santos is partner at ParaFi Capital, one of the most active investment funds in DeFi. Before going full crypto, Santiago worked at JPMorgan’s investment banking arm, and then invested in fintech and software at a venture fund. He now uses his more traditional VC frameworks to analyze open financial protocols and finds that even by those metrics, DeFi comes out ahead. We also talked about the seemingly crazy new DeFi meme tokens and Santiago says to not underestimate their value. Maybe part of the reason traders are pouring millions into these tokens comes from the human desire to connect with others.

After a tumultuous 2022, we’re in the last quarter of 2023, and with that comes crypto twitter's favorite month, often memed as “Uptober”. It remains to be seen if October will actually be a green month for crypto, but between the upcoming Bitcoin halving and multiple spot BTC ETFs set to be approved, we may have another “perfect storm” for crypto on the horizon. The cyclical nature of Bitcoin is not new information and is something we have been tracking at The Defiant for years.
Nothing is ever guaranteed in these markets, but the list of reasons to be optimistic about Web3 and DeFi continues to grow. So let’s recap some of what has occurred since our “You Are Not Ready For the Bear” film, because you are definitely not ready for the bull.
