As much as I want to say DeFi and crypto is easy to enter, it is not easy to fully grasp and understand it.
First you need to understand technology. Then to understand math, finance and economics.
This podcast is to help you bridge the learning gaps. A subscriber (shout out to Magnus) mentioned that a general ELI5 episode would be good to run through the few common terms.
Here, I've picked up 15 terms that are commonly used. Instead of giving you the "just google what it means" term, this is an ELI5 explanation with human explanation. That's the best way to learn, in my experience.
15 terms we run through and explain:
General Classification 1) Layer 1 2) Layer 2 3) Dapp
DeFi General Terms 4) DeFi 5) Money Lego 6) Compostability
Scalability Problem + Solution 7) Scalability 8) Sidechain 9) Roll-ups
More Technical Elaboration 10) ZK roll-up 11) Optimistic roll-up 12) ZK-SNARKS
Other Terms 13) Quadratic Funding 14) Flash loans 15) Front Running
