Summary

Sometimes things are clear, and to both Camila Russo (write of The Defiant newsletter) and David Hoffman (co-host of the Crypto POV podcast), it couldn’t be clearer that the essential narrative of 2019 was the rise of DeFi as a true market force. In individual interviews as part of The Breakdown’s end of year coverage, each also makes a 2020 DeFi prediction. For David, it’s all about increased attention on the space and the power of composability, while for Camila, it’s a bet that we’ll start to see the first under-collateralized DeFi loans.

0:44.2	one key topic, which was defy, decentralized finance. Both of them, for their money, it was
0:49.8	the most essential topic of 2019, and what's more, both of their predictions related to
0:55.2	Defi. For David, it's a thought about composability and what it means. Whereas for Cammy,
1:01.2	it's about the idea of undercollateralized loans. So this interview gets a little bit more
