DeFi and the Future of Finance Free Audiobook Download by Joey Santoro,Ashwin Ramachandran,Campbell R. Harvey

When we think of finance, the first thing that comes to mind is Wall Street. And when we think of Wall Street, the first thing that comes to mind is the stock market. But what if there was a new way to finance? What if instead of selling stocks or other financial instruments, you could raise money for your company in minutes by building an app and hosting people's cryptocurrency wallets on it? This idea is actually not too far from reality, and you might be surprised at how this new model has been growing mainstream over the last few years.

In this audiobook, David De Vries speaks to three investors, describing the various financial exchanges that are disrupting the traditional finance industry. From loan sharks to blockchain-based lending platforms, the future of finance is here and it's going to be big!

From "blockchain" to "fintech" to "cryptocurrency," the future of finance is now. The digital and decentralized economy has already started decimating legacy industries, but many people are still struggling with understanding how these new technologies will change their lives--and more importantly, how they will change the world.

The term "DeFi" is short for decentralized finance, and it's a buzzword in the digital currency world. DeFi can also be used to describe any decentralized application (dApps) that isn't controlled by one entity, such as a bank or corporation. That said, there are many different cryptocurrency projects in the space that include "DeFi" as part of their name.

Blockchain has a decentralized, distributed and immutable nature. The technology is already being used in many areas of finance and will likely impact financial institutions big and small in the near future. This book explores the application of blockchain to traditional financial models, the broad implications of DeFi, and its potential capability to change the dynamics of finance.
