(TAKES) What’s on your mind? 

Gotta do it

- Bring up the frogs (https://twitter.com/kekspawn/status/1326253486070173696/photo/1)

What’s on my mind?

What is DeFi?

Is Bitcoin DeFi (https://twitter.com/RyanSAdams/status/1326950305725026304?s=20)?

Is Ethereum DeFi?

Is BinanceChain DeFi?

Is PolkaDot DeFi?

Is Cosmos DeFi?

IS DEFI DEFI?

What are you excited about?

DH: 

- Ethereum / ETH being understood

- ETH the Internet Bond

- BTC is an evolution on Gold. Therefore, BTC market cap should be much larger than gold

I'm compelled!

- ETH’s market cap should be an evolution on the market cap of bond markets 

Never before has there been a hard-money bond market 

RSA: sovereign bond market is $57t btw

I’m excited that we’re in a bull run:

If you're new to crypto... Welcome to your first bull run. Things will only getting crazier from here. Buckle up.

Arjun is the most secure way to hold money on your device while still being able to

Crucial to maintaining security over your assets is Arjun's Guardian service, which allows

you to use a friend to make sure that you can always restore access to your funds in

0:49.4

case you were to ever lose your phone or for your device to break.

You can also use a local hardware wallet to ensure that you can always restore access

0:56.6

to your funds yourself.

exchanges, including Uniswap and Kiber, to make sure that you are always getting the

1:06.7

best trade on your assets.

1:09.2

Similarly, pushing the fold on what we can do in Ethereum and DeFi, Arjun has replicated

1:23.6

Ensuring that if anyone were to be able to access your funds in your argent wallet,

1:27.1
