(TAKES) What’s on your mind? 

Gotta do it

- Bring up the frogs (https://twitter.com/kekspawn/status/1326253486070173696/photo/1)

What’s on my mind?

What is DeFi?

Is Bitcoin DeFi (https://twitter.com/RyanSAdams/status/1326950305725026304?s=20)?

Is Ethereum DeFi?

Is BinanceChain DeFi?

Is PolkaDot DeFi?

Is Cosmos DeFi?

IS DEFI DEFI?

What are you excited about?

DH: 

- Ethereum / ETH being understood

- ETH the Internet Bond

- BTC is an evolution on Gold. Therefore, BTC market cap should be much larger than gold

I'm compelled!

- ETH’s market cap should be an evolution on the market cap of bond markets 

Never before has there been a hard-money bond market 

RSA: sovereign bond market is $57t btw

I’m excited that we’re in a bull run:

If you're new to crypto... Welcome to your first bull run. Things will only getting crazier from here. Buckle up.
