1:14:32 DeFi’s Benefits
So much negativity towards DeFi lately. Many people questioning what benefits it actually offers.
Annoyed to see it honestly. Permissionless access to financial tools for anyone in the world is powerful enough to have extreme meaning and staying power.

1:16:33 UNIchain is Inevitable
UNIchain is inevitable.
There are 3 costs to DEX traders:
1) Swap fee (to LPs)
2) Tx fee (to validators)
3) MEV (to validators/MMs)Today, UNI holders can only flip switch to take part of 1.
2&3 are more attractive long-term and better align incentives.
