What You Need to Know About DeFi

The decentralized financial system, or DeFi, represents a fundamental change to how we've built our financial system. Ethereum, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency, is built on top of it. It's time to begin learning about it if you don't know much about it.

Fundamentally, DeFi is an alternative way to use blockchain, the technology that underpins cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. Banks can be removed from the equation, creating a more transparent, traceable system that makes finance accessible to a wider audience. DeFi can provide you with more financial options by crowdsourcing student loans and expanding investment options.

However, it would help if you didn't go into it blindly. According to Cardify, only 15% of crypto investors are fully aware of crypto's value and potential. If you are interested in understanding some of the emerging trends in modern finance - without falling into the pitfalls - you must understand DeFi.

Here's how to get started.

Research blockchain, the technology underlying DeFi. Find reliable sources of information. It is, therefore, important to investigate the sources' motives and steer clear of sites that state that everything is either good or bad. Quality sources weigh the pros and cons. For example, most digital wallets are not insured by the FDIC, so you might be looking in the wrong place.

The next step is to consult resources offered by decentralized autonomous organizations. The DAO is an ownerless, digital group that exists on the blockchain and serves a collective purpose.

These organizations often have contributors who are at the forefront of their fields, so they can provide excellent information. Make every effort to delve a little deeper into DeFi. This field is rapidly advancing, so updates on DAOs are essential. Take a look at Crypto, Culture & Society if you're interested in learning about DAOs.

However, information from DAOs is crowdsourced, and quality varies with crowdsourced information. When someone says something is the greatest thing since sliced bread, you should be cautious.

Additional advanced learning is available.

Searching the internet on your own has obvious limitations. The use of webinars and podcasts from credible sources is a good option for more structured learning. In addition, they are often very up-to-date.

Taking up knowledge is similar to taking up fishing. In addition to finding the best lake on your own, webinars and podcasts let

you spend an hour with a fishing guide who can tell you where to fish and which lures to use. Stephan Livera's podcast, Real Vision Crypto Channel, The Defiant, Pomp Podcast, and Unchained all offer helpful information. Take advice from podcasts with a grain of salt since their hosts are often deeply immersed in DeFi.

You can also take online courses. Different levels of content are offered. They are taught by experts. As long as you don't require a certificate, you can usually audit them for free. My favorite was "Decentralized Finance (DeFi) Infrastructure," taught by Cam Harvey of Duke's Fuqua School of Business.

Courses may take up to six months to develop their content, which means they aren't always up-to-date. Bootcamps, or higher education programs, are options for people considering a career switch to fintech or who need upskilling to get hired. They offer personalized, intensive training, which can be helpful if you want to switch professions.

Several well-established companies offer resources for their employees to pursue outside education to enhance their skills. Do thorough research prior to pitching a costly learning option to your manager, so you're sure you've chosen the right one.

Keeping up with the latest trends.

Like crypto, DeFi is playing an increasingly prominent role in the economy. You can expect DeFi to be used for many things in the not-too-distant future, from real estate to small-business loans to diversifying your savings. Children, just beginning to save, may see the bright lights of Bitcoin and Robinhood, but not so much the pitfalls. They will need your help and guidance. You still need to know basic DeFi literacy, even if you're not ready to dive in. Additionally, there is a professional advantage. As these new modes of finance expand, you don't want to wait to find out that your knowledge and skills are outdated. Learning and development departments in most corporations lag behind the times. Learning DeFi is a sign that you're well-read, you take initiative, and you're an employee who seeks to rise to the top. 
