Everyone's watching #Bitcoin and #altcoins bleed and calling crypto dead. Stani Kulechov looked at what actually happened and saw the opposite: "DeFi is this machinery that just keeps working in the background, regardless of market cycles." Stani Kulechov (Stani) is the founder of Aave and one of the people who built decentralized finance into what it is today. He joined me to explain why, while everyone was distracted, DeFi quietly grew up: "We went from DeFi is experimentation, to DeFi protocols are the future, to DeFi protocols are making revenue. We did almost 150 million in net revenue." We cover: - Why DeFi survived the crash: hundreds of millions in liquidations processed transparently, in minutes, while the protocols kept generating revenue - Why in five years we won't call it DeFi anymore; "it's going to be on-chain finance, or just finance" - When banks start using DeFi themselves, and why every new entry point deepens liquidity for everyone - Why #Ethereum is lagging: the L2 scaling choice, the trilemma, and the privacy layer it still needs before institutions arrive - Why governments have no incentive to protect your privacy, "it helps them stay in control" - Financing abundance: how tokenizing real-world assets could fund energy, compute and robotics the way JP Morgan once funded the railroads Thanks to Stani for coming on New Era Finance Podcast.
