In a recent interview with Dinis Guarda, Michael said the following about blockchain and DeFi
“One of the best things about DeFi and blockchain is that they are innovation triggers. Every new development in the technology, angle or product is potentially the beginning of a new innovation solution. And there are still many challenges, as everything is very new, but with every new product, service or solution, flaws are fixed and trust is leveraged.
One of the main problems regarding the mass adoption of DeFi and blockchain is thus building trust and value for people that are afraid to adopt these innovative ideas. So in order for DeFi to truly pick up and be implemented in different sectors it starts with education and awareness.”
