1/ Prompted by @tonysheng’s great piece (tonysheng.com/mass-movement), I’ve been thinking a lot about mass movements today
2/ I hadn't really thought of it in these terms before, but #DeFi is a mass movement. It's a community for enthusiasts of Decentralized Finance. And we have all come together because we believe in a much better future

3/ We're at the early stages of this movement. But we're seeing the emergence of "men of words", who are sowing the intellectual seeds that will bring adherents to the movement
4/ There are already many “men of action”, but we don't really have any true "fanatical leaders" yet.

Men and Women of action are building @DharmaProtocol, @SetProtocol @AbacusProtocol @0xProject @WalletConnect @CoinbaseWallet @Balance_io @MakerDAO and so many more!
5/ "The Devil" is clear -- closed, ossified, centralized, exclusionary, opaque traditional finance. While Wall St is part of that, we actually have a pretty well functioning financial system in the US.

#DeFi will have a far greater positive impact in emerging markets
6/ In the conclusion Tony states "Competition between early-stage crypto mass movements will continue until there is literal blood in the streets."

I hope it won't be this way for #DeFi. I hope that OldFinance capitulates and submits to our will without a fight.
7/7 But if it comes to a fight, I know whose side I'm on. #DeFi is the future.
