Dear DeFi founders and builders.

honestly, most builders still do not understand building DeFi products for users especially when the idea is around solving an ideal problem.

the "default DeFi user" most imagine is someone in the UK, Berlin or New York with a bank account and stable internet who is already familiar with financial products and already trusting institutions.

that imaginary person I'll say does not necessarily need DeFi because they already have everything DeFi is trying to replace.

the person who really needs DeFi is in Lagos, Nairobi, Accra, Kigali...they are the unbanked or underbanked. why are these people the best population?

they are already skeptical of traditional finance because it has failed them in visible and personal ways...such as in cross-border remittances that eats 8-12% in fees, savings that looses it's value to inflation, inaccessibility to investment opportunities and products that only exist outside in major developed cities.

DeFi doesn't have to convince these sort of people why the old system is broken because they already know.

so, why is 'almost' nobody building with them in mind as the primary user?

well, i will say, it's partly UX, maybe the infra but, the honest reality is that, most founders are building from silicon valley with the valley's assumptions baked into every design and decision.

but here's what they're missing.

the same constraints that make DeFi "hard to adopt" especially in Africa are the exact constraints that make autonomous agents necessary.

I'll explain.

an AI Agent that manages onchain portfolio doesn't require one to understand liquidity pools or sit in front of his/her phone or laptop monitoring feeds...it executes (smartly) even while one is offline or running his/her actual life.

so, for a first generation investor in let's say West Africa...you will need a lot of convincing & explanation to an already (intentionally) complicated system.

so, DeFi i'd say is shouldn't be limited to a narrative for degens...no, it is a next gen infra for billions of people who can't afford to be wrong or slow...actually, it is for those who wants to be smart.

now that, is the thesis i am building with everything i do here.

from onchain trading to autonomous agents...DeFi should not be regarded as an abstract tech experiments, rather as a tool with real stakes for people in markets that most here do not talk about.

if that's the kind of conversation you want to be part of, you're in the right place...stick around.

Sincerely,
Viktor.

My question is, why does your X Twitter check still describes that you're a Government Official when you're no longer one?

isn't that some sort of corrupt practice?

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.

The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.

Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.

If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

At 19, I just left my dream job at @coinbase

1 year ago, I was convinced of crypto's potential to change the world.

I dreamed of working at a top crypto company.

Then I joined @base. I got to work with the best crypto engineers in the world, grow fast, and build the future of finance together.

A glimpse into my work:
> Worked on infra handling millions of transactions, improving speed & reliability.
> Saved multi-six figures in future chain revenue, by optimizing DeFi gas estimates.
> Improved UX, by building tooling around blockchain finality.

At first I'd planned to stay longer, @coinbase is genuinely an amazing company.
But there's new opportunities I don't want to miss out on.

I still believe in crypto's potential to change the world.

So excited for what's coming next.
