📝 [Analysis] Decentralized finance is a continuum - Sean Lippel

Fintech Collective's Sean Lippel says DeFi "will be an infinitely more durable phase of development and adoption for blockchain technology than anything we have seen to date," and that its impact will be felt across both developed and emerging markets. In developed markets, that will mean greater choice and privacy. In frontier markets, DeFi can unlock banking-style services for the billions who are currently underserved by the legacy financial system. The company also organizes their market map of DeFi into themes they believe will be most likely to succeed, philosophically aligned with the "decentralize everything" ethos, and most importantly, actionable over a VC investing period (5-7 years). Must read for those looking at how non-crypto investors are salivating over DeFi's hockey stick growth, and how to think about the continuum between centralized services and truly decentralized protocols.
