A great read for newcomers and degens alike." ("Jonas Seiferth, RetroPGF Lead, Optimism Foundation")
"Rhian Lewis presents a balanced and informative view that expertly intertwines the evolution of money and markets with these novel, and potentially game changing, set of technologies whilst unravelling and demystifying the lexicon of arcane terminology and acronyms that have followed the hype into the public psyche in recent years." ("Paul Gordon, Founder, Coinscrum")
"If you think about the factors stopping DeFi to fulfil its potential, many cite regulation (or lack of regulation) and lack of understanding/knowledge of this space. As it is difficult to control the regulatory part, we can build a deep understanding of what DeFi represents, its components, and the exciting new opportunities it offers - as well as the considerable challenges that occur when the old system collides head-on with the new. I found it exciting that you can boost your knowledge by learning cool concepts such as DeFi mullet, social trading, finfluencer, crypto meme culture and more." ("Mirela Ciobanu, Lead Editor, Banking and Fintech, The Paypers")
