This episode comes from a recent panel discussion hosted by the DeFi team at GAIB. We were joined by DeFi experts such as Patrick, Founder of Dynamo DeFi, an anonymous DeFi investor who goes by DeFiMaximalist, and crypto YouTuber / investor Joe Takayama. We found the discussion to be very insightful and so we agreed to edit and republish the conversation as a podcast. We hope you enjoy it!
