High debt level & high housing prices are two sides of the same coin, as half of bank credits are mortgage loans.
If housing prices go up, you need to borrow more to afford it--> less money for other stuff, weaker economy & higher inequality.

It's happening everywhere in the world. Inevitable when there's high demand for assets and physical things w/ physical utility also serve as assets.
NFT solves this.

With regulations coming, some say DeFi will lose its edge.

They’re wrong.

“No regulation” is not the winning feature of DeFi. Neither is decentralization. Take those away and DeFi is still 100x better than TradFi.

Here's a look at DeFi’s true competitive advantages 👇
First off, why can DeFi offer higher yields than banks?

Obviously some yields are more sustainable than others. I wrote an article a while ago looking at different types of yields.

But the reality is in the short term, the #1 reason of high yields is lots of money flowing into crypto to chase returns.

To those that worry robots will take all jobs, chill out.

Even if there's only 1 type of job left for humans to do and all else are automated, earnings from that 1 type will grow to infinite.
For example, if teaching yoga is the only type of human job left, yoga teachers will end up making say, $1 million a year or something crazy.
The reason is if productivity in all sectors of economy go up b/c of automation except in one sector, that sector's price will go up so much that it captures all the value accrual in economy, as long as that sector cannot be replaced.

Crypto is a systemic shock that’ll make society more equal.

Rising inequality is an inevitable feature of capitalism. But like all systemic shocks through history, the rise of crypto’ll help reset wealth distribution.

Here’s why & what it means for your own wealth strategy 👇
Wealth inequality is at the highest in US history. It causes social upheaval & is bad for economy (weak purchasing power of middle class = no demand to drive growth).
People say technology change, globalization, and lack of skill training are reasons for this rising inequality.

But actually even without any of those, increasing wealth concentration is *inevitable* in any capitalistic society.

The 1st time I used deFi, it felt like I witnessed something so huge that my brain couldn't process.

I had to lie down on the couch for a few hrs to let the adrenaline pass.

That's the magical moment I always refer back to whenever market sells off.

Price is down. It sucks. But ultimately I'm in this space because crypto is one of the great experiments in human history and I don't want to miss a second of it.

It may sound unrelated, but last time I felt a magical moment like that was in 2001 when China joined WTO.
I was in school and went to a party at a professor's where we gathered to watch the WTO ceremony on TV.

I remember biking back to dorm after midnight in freezing wind of Beijing winter, yet didn't feel cold at all cuz I was running on the high of having just witnessed history.

Will Chinese government bail out Evergrande?

They shouldn't.

Here's why.
Housing price needs to come down.

China's been wanting to switch to domestic consumption led growth for many yrs. So far it hasn't happened (much).

How come?

The average Joe doesn't have enough money.
Housing, the biggest spending item, is less & less affordable as price ballooned, esp the last 5 yrs.

If you can't even afford shelter, there's def no extra purchasing power to buy other stuff.
