1
00:00:03,470 --> 00:00:07,230
DeFi in the future
finance is a set of
2
00:00:07,230 --> 00:00:09,150
four courses that I'm offering
3
00:00:09,150 --> 00:00:12,015
that focus on
decentralized finance.
4
00:00:12,015 --> 00:00:14,055
Let me set the stage.
5
00:00:14,055 --> 00:00:18,810
This course is about a forthcoming
revolution in finance.
6
00:00:18,810 --> 00:00:20,580
It's remarkable that are
7
00:00:20,580 --> 00:00:23,100
centralized financial
system has not
8
00:00:23,100 --> 00:00:26,520
substantially changed
over the past century,
9
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:31,459
while there's digitization
with the same banks, brokers,
10
00:00:31,459 --> 00:00:33,980
exchanges, insurance companies,
11
00:00:33,980 --> 00:00:36,755
and central monetary
authorities.
12
00:00:36,755 --> 00:00:41,305
I will argue that the
current system is failing,
13
00:00:41,305 --> 00:00:44,045
why does it cost
300 basis points
14
00:00:44,045 --> 00:00:46,655
every time a credit
card is swiped?
15
00:00:46,655 --> 00:00:50,335
Why are savings rate
zero or negative?
16
00:00:50,335 --> 00:00:53,160
Why are barring rates so high?
17
00:00:53,160 --> 00:00:55,310
Why is the transfer of money
18
00:00:55,310 --> 00:00:58,810
expensive, slow, and insecure?
19
00:00:58,810 --> 00:01:04,010
How is it possible in the age
of the Internet that it can
20
00:01:04,010 --> 00:01:06,080
take two days to transfer
21
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,680
the ownership after I
buy shares in a company?
22
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:14,050
Why during the global financial
crisis that we have to
23
00:01:14,050 --> 00:01:18,990
bailout the very institutions
that caused the crisis?
24
00:01:18,990 --> 00:01:24,280
Why are there 1.7
billion people in
25
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:29,990
the world that are unbanked
and many more under banked?
26
00:01:29,990 --> 00:01:32,740
Decentralized finance, or DeFi,
27
00:01:32,740 --> 00:01:35,375
is an emerging disruption.
28
00:01:35,375 --> 00:01:38,730
In decentralized
finance we interact
29
00:01:38,730 --> 00:01:42,120
amongst peers via
smart contracts.
30
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,590
These algorithms do not carry
31
00:01:44,590 --> 00:01:47,680
the baggage of
traditional finance.
32
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:52,430
There are no layers of bureaucracy
and back-office staff.
33
00:01:52,430 --> 00:01:55,250
When peers interact, there's
34
00:01:55,250 --> 00:01:59,610
no middle person making a
large spread or commission.
35
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,030
Furthermore
decentralized apps are
36
00:02:03,030 --> 00:02:05,285
interoperable, for example,
37
00:02:05,285 --> 00:02:07,760
in centralized finance it
might take days to send
38
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,970
money from your broker to
your bank or vice versa,
39
00:02:10,970 --> 00:02:14,500
no such delay exists in DeFi.
40
00:02:14,500 --> 00:02:18,450
Finally the current
system is very opaque.
41
00:02:18,450 --> 00:02:20,989
We rely upon
government regulators
42
00:02:20,989 --> 00:02:22,460
to watch for trouble in
43
00:02:22,460 --> 00:02:25,070
our financial sector and history
44
00:02:25,070 --> 00:02:28,765
suggests a dubious track
record of monitoring.
45
00:02:28,765 --> 00:02:34,850
In DeFi everything is transparent
a key characteristic,
46
00:02:34,850 --> 00:02:36,870
a block chain technology.
47
00:02:36,870 --> 00:02:39,050
Let me describe what we
48
00:02:39,050 --> 00:02:41,770
cover in this
learning experience.
49
00:02:41,770 --> 00:02:43,650
In the first course,
50
00:02:43,650 --> 00:02:46,520
DeFi Infrastructure we begin
51
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,935
by exploring the origins of DeFi
52
00:02:48,935 --> 00:02:51,770
and take a broad
historical view from
53
00:02:51,770 --> 00:02:55,540
the earliest barter economies
to the present day.
54
00:02:55,540 --> 00:02:57,590
We then focus on
55
00:02:57,590 --> 00:03:00,110
the key infrastructure
components;
56
00:03:00,110 --> 00:03:03,110
blockchain, cryptocurrency,
57
00:03:03,110 --> 00:03:07,220
smart contracts,
oracles, stable coins,
58
00:03:07,220 --> 00:03:10,885
and decentralized
applications or dApps.
59
00:03:10,885 --> 00:03:14,450
Next, we focused on the
specific problems that
60
00:03:14,450 --> 00:03:18,140
DeFi is designed to solve;
61
00:03:18,140 --> 00:03:21,995
inefficiency, limited
access, opacity,
62
00:03:21,995 --> 00:03:27,280
centralized control, and
lack of interoperability.
63
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,395
The second course is
called DeFi Primitives.
64
00:03:31,395 --> 00:03:34,730
Here we talk about
transaction mechanics,
65
00:03:34,730 --> 00:03:38,285
fungible and non-fungible
tokens or NFTs,
66
00:03:38,285 --> 00:03:41,960
custody, supply
adjustment, incentives,
67
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:47,020
swaps, collateralized
loans, and flash loans.
68
00:03:47,180 --> 00:03:51,360
The third course is
called DeFi Deep Dive.
69
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,770
It is the longest of
the four courses and
70
00:03:54,770 --> 00:03:56,060
focuses on some of
71
00:03:56,060 --> 00:03:59,815
the leading protocols
in the DeFi space.
72
00:03:59,815 --> 00:04:04,220
We will look at credit and
lending and feature makerDAO,
73
00:04:04,220 --> 00:04:06,110
compounds and Aave,
74
00:04:06,110 --> 00:04:10,190
decentralized exchange
with an analysis
75
00:04:10,190 --> 00:04:13,755
of how protocols like
Uniswap work, derivatives,
76
00:04:13,755 --> 00:04:15,465
featuring yield protocol dy,
77
00:04:15,465 --> 00:04:19,250
dx and synthetics and
tokenization with
78
00:04:19,250 --> 00:04:21,680
an analysis of the set protocol
79
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,505
as well as wrapped Bitcoin.
80
00:04:24,505 --> 00:04:28,965
The final course is
called DeFi Risks.
81
00:04:28,965 --> 00:04:32,570
Any analysis of a
new technology must
82
00:04:32,570 --> 00:04:36,560
clearly gauge the
risks and challenges.
83
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,420
The topics include;
84
00:04:38,420 --> 00:04:41,830
smart contract risk,
governance risk,
85
00:04:41,830 --> 00:04:44,615
oracle risk, scaling risk,
86
00:04:44,615 --> 00:04:47,915
decentralized
exchange or DEX risk,
87
00:04:47,915 --> 00:04:49,685
custodial risk,
88
00:04:49,685 --> 00:04:54,430
environmental risk as
well as regulatory risk.
89
00:04:54,430 --> 00:04:59,520
Let me also tell you
what this series is not.
90
00:04:59,930 --> 00:05:02,840
This set of courses
does not teach
91
00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:05,645
you how to trade Bitcoin,
92
00:05:05,645 --> 00:05:09,320
this is a course
about understanding
93
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:13,240
the foundation of a
new financial system,
94
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,770
it is a system of inclusion of
95
00:05:15,770 --> 00:05:20,500
financial democracy where all
peers are treated equally.
96
00:05:20,500 --> 00:05:24,440
Importantly the current
way of a fintech largely
97
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,475
uses the current centralized
financial architecture.
98
00:05:28,475 --> 00:05:32,630
I believe many of these firms
are fleeting and they in
99
00:05:32,630 --> 00:05:37,445
turn will be replaced by
decentralized protocols.
100
00:05:37,445 --> 00:05:42,650
To be clear I'm not talking
about a renovation of
101
00:05:42,650 --> 00:05:45,410
our current financial system I'm
102
00:05:45,410 --> 00:05:50,080
talking about a complete
rebuild from the bottom-up.
103
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:54,635
The course is largely
based upon my new book,
104
00:05:54,635 --> 00:05:58,100
DeFi and the Future of Finance,
105
00:05:58,100 --> 00:06:03,750
written with Ashwin
Ramachandran and Joe Santorum.
106
00:06:03,970 --> 00:06:09,125
If you want to be part of
this revolution in finance,
107
00:06:09,125 --> 00:06:13,380
a good starting point
is this course.
