If what you are currently doing was working well, you probably wouldn't be looking into crypto.

Also… did you know that Facebook and Tesla's stocks have been more volatile than Bitcoin these past two years? But that doesn’t sell for a headline. However, Bitcoin performs much better, standing at +80% in Q1 23. DeFi tokens are performing even better than that.

Gold was by far way more volatile than Bitcoin when it was introduced for trading as a new asset-class. It’s called price discovery.

What influence do you think mainstream media has had on the way you feel about this?

DeFi is the real application of crypto. It is a technologically advanced form of old-school tribal bartering.

It works just like traditional finance: lending and borrowing.

The only difference is that now, no middleman is involved (AKA, no more banks). Therefore you are the bank. And you can juice all the profits like the bank does.

The real risk in DeFi, that we call “Implied Trust” in our video, can be rephrased as “Which platform can we trust?” for them not to get hacked. That’s why our analysts and mentors vet all the DeFi opportunities and present only those that are safe.

How valuable do you think it is to have them by your side?

To avoid scams, you need filtered information from smart people who can vet opportunities. More importantly, you need to apply security best practices.

Don't you think that you would have drastically reduced the chances of that happening if you were surrounded by the best in the industry and could run all your decisions by a mentor?

Have you ever heard of the prisoner’s dilemma? That’s the situation we’re in. If global cooperation was there, they could have banned it. But it's too late.

Cities like Dubai, London, and Paris are welcoming crypto companies with open arms. So there is no way to ban it because you’d have to shut down every laptop and internet connection on the planet. The banking lobby and SEC are fighting it for sure, but history has shown that technology always wins. It spreads way too fast.

Best talent will simply leave America if you don’t let them express themselves, and our country can’t afford that. Government officials ultimately know that, they’re delaying it to get a piece of the pie.

Wouldn’t you leave if your freedom was baffled?

Before I answer this question, let me tell you a story. The day following FTX’s fall, “Ledger” (the biggest crypto cold wallet manufacturer) had its highest-ever sales day. Every DeFi platform saw a record-breaking volume, user count, and price surge.

Why is that? Because 95% of crypto buyers are clueless about “the real application of the technology”, which is DeFi. So when FTX fell, the market realized. When your coins are on an exchange, they’re not yours. They’re theirs.

FTX worked just like a typical financial institution. They “sold crypto”; they never used blockchain as a technology to better their services. It was totally centralized, and it fell.

Do you get now why decentralization actually matters?

You can’t teach here if you haven’t succeeded in this yourself.

First, there is Sam; we call him the DeFi Doctor. He’s a certified blockchain analyst. He’s our head of education and the most caring guy ever. He’s literally obsessed with your success.

Then Dziugas, we call him the Professor, he was teaching DeFi to computer science students at Colorado State University. Then founded a DeFi startup with 40+ employees.

Malcolm is an ex-member turned mentor and a top-notch Blockchain Developer.

And there are many more, that make this Mastermind unrivalled in the industry.

Regarding our legitimacy, our founder Tan passed all three levels of the CFA program at 23 years of age and is a CFA charterholder.

That by itself is the reason why everyone is willing to join because very few traditional finance professionals operate in crypto.

That’s also why he’s a contributor to Nasdaq at such a young age and why we’ve been able to attract such great talent to the team.

Naturally, it led to all these success stories and numerous five-star reviews on Trustpilot.
