DeFi: The Financial Revolution That Puts You in Control
I’m sure you’ve used an ATM to withdraw cash when you needed it, right?
For centuries, large banks were the only ones responsible for carrying out financial transactions such as lending, banking, and investing.
As a result, many of us have long relied on banking services, relying exclusively on banks to carry out financial transactions.
However, this reality has changed with the emergence of DeFi (Decentralized Finance), which has blurred the line of exclusivity that was previously maintained by the traditional financial system in conducting financial transactions.
At its core, DeFi is a blockchain-based technology designed to allow users to carry out financial transactions without the need for traditional financial intermediaries such as banks.
In this way, individuals can carry out financial transactions without the presence of regulators imposing rules and guidelines on how to, for example, open a simple account or obtain a loan.
In the traditional financial system, the government is responsible for regulating banks, as well as using monetary policy to promote economic growth without inflation.
Therefore, we can say that the circulation of money in the economy is strongly influenced by the government.
DeFi, on the other hand, allows users to carry out financial transactions using digital currencies quickly and conveniently.
Blockchain technology operates through so-called decentralized applications, or "dApps", and "protocols" that allow users to access these platforms from anywhere in the world.
In general, we can say that DeFI is changing the economy and the way people deal with money.
If before, people were hostage to big banks, today, with DeFI, more and more individuals can have access to financial products in a completely transparent way, bringing autonomy in a totally democratic way.
And you tell us in the comments how DeFI has changed the way you deal with money and your finances.
Thanks for reading and happy investing!
