It's a good investment dude. I'm not trying to shill or anything here but Ethereum is literally the "internet" of finance. It democratizes and brings access to basic financial building blocks like we've never before seen in history and truly anything can be built on it. Unironically it's the future of finance. Don't listen to the Luddites and cynics here. Do the research yourself and try it out for yourself and it becomes glaringly obvious.

Using defi is how I would imagine typing in a chatroom or accessing a website felt back when the web was just in its infancy.

You are 100% right, and also downvoted.

Welcome to HackerNews, a place that should think startup-like progressive, but really is technology conservative.

I love defi simply for the fact that I hold the keys to my money, not banks or a central entity.

the problem with crypto is that people see it and treat it as an investment and a commodity, not an actual currency. People horde crypto and don't spend it.
