An exciting opportunity to build for the DeFi ecosystem that is coming up THIS WEEK is with Chainlink! Chainlink is hosting a Chainlink Hackathon from March 15th to April 11th, 2021 and invites everyone and anyone from around the world to participate.
Anyone interested in checking out this event can find all of the information here.
Happy 2021 Hacking!
I have the same problem. Has anyone figured it out?
Iām hoping to be a DeFi builder by the end of this course. Iāve had this nagging idea Iām trying to develop further, but it centers around the concept of enhancing and combining elements of the barter economy and microfinancing.
Thank you for the knowledge. After a second viewing, i hope to be able to contribute more after some further exploration. . See so much potential.
Would also like to hear a deep dive on the breaches, details on March 12, 2020 and resultant insurance ramifications - how things will change as a result. Maybe a āLessons Learnedā peer review. (*we perform these on large construction projects after a project in order to find improvements in the development process.)
Thank you, Amadeo, for the tremendous amount of information presented in this course.
Iād like to reference the DeFi project āshopping.ioā which allows users to spend crypto to purchase items from Amazon, eBay, and Wal-mart. To truly be independent of centralized services, we need to have a way not to use fiat and still be able to purchase everyday items.
I guess you do not understand fiat. Ask yourself why BTC is still measured in dollars ?
The only think you are and shopping.io is doing is changing crypto to fiat. The fact that it is centralized or decentralized does not matter at all.
Also, paying for services and goods is still tax event (in many countries) so there is no difference as exchanging it for fiat and buying goods at these sites.
Actually, shopping.io is certainly asking nice percentage for it, like paypal for crypto 
.
I want to figure out how to use a different type of collateral if people do not have cash, but property, assets, or others and how to link it to the blockchain system.
The idea of collateral, real estate and land is very interesting to me.
Thank you for this course @amadeobrands
Very intersting and itĀ“s amazing to see how DeFi is taking over the finacial system.
IĀ“ve always liked the quote by Buckminster Fuller: āYou never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete. ā And thatās exaaaaaactly 
what DeFi and Blockchain technology are doing. I love it! 
One of the ideas I have is a decentralized auction market place where buyers and sellers can trade without the involvement of an auction firm that charges high fees. Real goods, services and products can be auctioned off with the help of smart contracts and the entire deal can be handled on the platform.
Thanks once again/ Poyan
Thank you for teaching and showing the DEFI frameworks. I was unaware that there is so much in DEFI, and in fact there is so much more to find out.
Is very interesting to see how the DeFi is evolving so fast. There is a lot going on but im sure this is just the beginning. Im thinking about how will it be in a few years, when more people have knowledge about DeFi and it will be less expensive (maybe on another blockchain) and will be more inclusive for some sectors of society.
Thanks also for sharing the extra information from the blogs, Ive found some other cool articles on them, im following them now.
For someone like me who wants to become an expert in all things blockchain this course was great. There were a lot of things I did know and a lot of things I did not know. I am soaking up the knowledge and loving the course content.
Letās keep discussing all interesting DeFi projects in the forum and letās see how we as a whole can strengthen this new paralel financial system that we are creating.
Thank you for the course Amadeo. This has been a very thought provoking and poignant learning experience. Looking at arbitrage opportunities, I am keen on KeeperDao and the possibilities it brings in terms of arbitrage and liquidation trades on all DeFi protocols.
After I start learning to code, I for one am open to discussion.
I would definitely create a platform based soley on flash loans and interlink it with other platforms.
I really enjoyed the course. The introduction was very informative and helps me take a deep dive and explore the opportunities in the DeFi space. The course I assume was from 2020 and the changes made just within a year can be tremendous.
great course but I would be more interested in Polkadot or uniswap more popular defi but I understand it moves so fast!!!
I am keen on the RWA and think that Centrifuga project as a bridge between real world and crypto can be awesome. However I donāt share a hype around the NFT wrapped collectibles. Factoring is well known financial activity and traditional institutions can cope with it. Why is the blockchain solution is cheaper? The main question is overcollateral which reduces a cash stream significantly.
After doing some research on arbitrage it looks like itās possible to do on your own across different exchanges, particularly capitalizing on price differences between large and small exchanges, but it is far more efficient and effective if a bot does it for you. That is something I can possibly look forward to creating after I move on to coding courses.
I certainly appreciated this course and am looking forward to continuing my own exploration of the DeFi space.
The possibilities are endless indeed but I feel itās easy to get carried away in ideas that can only be understood by insiders, programmers and DeFi first movers. I believe our biggest challenge is to come up with fundamentally simple projects with understandable user interfaces to bridge the gap towards true mass adoption. Understanding blockchain is one thing, a deep dive into DeFi is from another level!
As a Dutch based entrepreneur Iād be interested in a DeFi powered āBroodfondsā. A decentralized trustless illness/unemployment insurance for entrepreneurs that pays out dividends if no-one gets ill.
