Hi @amadeobrands top top quality this stuff. I am going to finish the course and start locking up all my savings on one of the DE Exchanges.
When you say building blocks what do you mean exactly? Do you refer to things that people have created designed that add to the defi eco system?
On DE Exchanges can you trade normally like you do on Binance etc?
I do welcome anyone to answer me on this post
Thanks everyone
Rob.

Hi everyone, this looks interesting. It offers 0% slippage on stable coins.

Incredible how much the rates have dropped in just a few months.
I assume this is because the ratio of lenders is much higher than that of borrowers, is that right?

We need real world assets else we are just creating a DeFi bubble

Hi Amadeo, I have a question about these DExâs (Kyber, Loopring etc.)
It seems to me that these Dexâs are essentially protocols that operate on top of the ethereum blockchain and are âbetterâ than Binance/Coin base because they donât crash and donât sell your data to 3rd parties - is this a correct assumption to make?
Also, if this is the case, then over the long term wouldnât all Binance users migrate to Dexâs if the user interface and the transaction speeds of the trades are similar (doesnât seem to have much downside for these users and they may want a âtrustlessâ platform)?
Thanks for the great content!

Correct that is also exactly why Binance made a DEX 
But that DEX is not as mature as the once on ETH today it seems to be down now lol

Haha its down? I would have thought Binance would be at the forefront of defi given the potential long term risk it poses to their ecosystem (I mean I realize this is likely 5 - 10 years in the future but still).
Iâm also curious as to your opinion on the âwinner takes allâ effect given you mentioned that you believe many of these Dexâs working together with eachother. From what I can tell, theyâre all pretty similar - do you think we could we see one of the Dexâs (i.e. LoopRing/Kyber) take 80-90% of the market over the next 2-3 years?
I liked your comment on the user experience as well - this is so key to increase user adoption and Kyberâs rapid rise over 1inch is a clear example that thereâs actually one thing that consumers care about more than price, and that is convenience (its also one of the main reasons why Iâm hodling crypto.com :p).

This is sooo cool - only problem is I have 0 programming knowledge (yet!). I think once I get through the academy Iâll give this a shot.
I liked the video and the host as well - âhappy bowtieâ Friday haha

Great course so far. I love the potential of DeFi and Smart Contracting to disrupt the current system, create personal and user wealth, and open up access to a much larger part of the human race. I am not sure I found any new DeFi blocks. Thinking functionally things like utility payment service systems (e.g. electric, water, wastewater, etc.), estate planning (e.g. trusts, administration, etc.), and real estate/title (buying, selling, insuring, title, etc.) areas have huge potential to benefit from create DeFi options. That is part of where I want to focus once I actually am able to program. Exciting.
A few of the articles, a report, and one of the companies I ran across in research: One Two Report Consensys

Hoi Amadeo,.
IdeaâŚ
A smartcontract can create a pool of customers with the needed amount for a node (for Ren its 100.000) than this platform/smart contract/AI can automatically create a REN dark node on a server who then is governed by the customers. Is this fantasy or can it really bedone? The rewards can than be put on DeFi protocol and shared in equal share sizes to the pool customers.

Hi, Amadeo
What are some other decentralized stablecoins that are out there, besides DAI, USDT, and USDC? Iâm sure there are many more!
Thanks!

I just discovered a few other stablecoins on the link you included in the description for the Decentralized Stablecoins video. One of them I found was pTokens. They are the ERC-20 token version of most non-Ethereum blockchain currencies. They were made specifically for DeFi.
