About this episode
Full article at: https://jamesbachini.com/yield/
How is it possible that my local bank can only offer 0.1% on my savings but in DeFi 20,30 even 100% APR's are on offer? Are defi protocols and the products built on top of them just one giant ponzi scheme or is there real value being created and distributed. In this video I'm going to show you exactly where the yield comes from and why governance tokens play such a big part in the DeFi economy. We'll end with a note of caution about the sustainability of the current yield farming model.
