I’m a Medium member based in India. This morning, I realized the credit card linked to my Medium account is due to expire. So I go to the settings page in my Medium account to check if I can update my card details. I find the button saying ‘Use a new card’ but also notice another button that says ‘View billing history.’ Out of curiosity, I click on it, and am presented with a long list of $5 monthly payments starting from March 24, 2017. Two years, or 25 months to be precise. Which add up to $125 (₹8,645) in membership fees, as of today. That makes me pause, and take stock of what I’m getting for my $125.

Card payments are widely accepted and secure, offering convenience and consumer protection. Open banking payments facilitate direct bank-to-bank transactions, real-time transfers, and data access with strong customer authentication. The choice between these methods depends on regulatory compliance, customer preferences, merchant acceptance, security requirements, costs, innovation, user experience, risk management, competition, scalability, partnerships, and user education. The future of payments likely involves a coexistence of both methods, adapting to market dynamics and user expectations.

Investing in digital currency is a way of earning money without leaving your house or even your bedroom. Yield farming is a financial strategy to earn interest from cryptocurrency. The primary benefit of this strategy is that it results in lower fees and higher interest returns. Like any other investment, yield farming can be profitable, but your earnings will vary depending on the platform, blockchain, liquidity pool, and rates. There is always the chance of impermanent loss if you end up staking your assets and their corresponding rewards drop too much in value.

Big crypto investor Paradigm dropped crypto and web3 from its branding. Bitcoin did just fine without VC money, and other cryptos did, too. People will naturally give their money to the protocol in exchange for whatever benefits they get from it. More than 90% of projects still fail. Building without hype and FOMO has its benefits.

RWAs (Real World Assets) refer to the tokenization of physical assets like real estate, stocks, and bonds on the blockchain. By introducing RWAs, new capital, liquidity, and revenue can flow into the crypto ecosystem - opening up avenues for decentralized finance, reducing inefficiencies in traditional finance, and providing opportunities for institutions to seek liquidity. By bridging the gap between traditional, tangible assets and purely crypto-native assets, RWAs have a very real possibility to onboard the next $1 trillion into crypto.

409A valuation derives its name from the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) section 409A. It is necessary for financial reporting and compliance with certain regulatory provisions. The value is then used to establish the cost of purchasing a share, employee stock options, ESOP, performance shares, and other equity compensation instruments granted to executives and employees. Undervaluing company stock may create an unfair situation for employees over time. Failure to comply with the 409A requirement can create a lot of problems for companies and their employees.

“Mock trading“ or “paper trading” when an exchange or a broker gives you an opportunity to make trades without having real money. Binance has an easy-to-use solution for you. Everything you need is just an email and password to create an account where you can perform trades! The important thing, those two accounts are linked but don't have anything in common.

The expression decentralized finance - often abbreviated as DeFi - describes to an alternative financial infrastructure built on top of the Ethereum blockchain. DeFi uses smart contracts to create protocols that replicate existing financial services in a more open, interoperable, and transparent way. This article highlights opportunities and potential risks of the DeFi ecosystem. I propose a multi-layered framework to analyze the implicit architecture and the various DeFi building blocks, including token standards, decentralized exchanges, decentralized debt markets, blockchain derivatives, and on-chain asset management protocols. I conclude that DeFi still is a niche market with certain risks but that it also has interesting properties in terms of efficiency, transparency, accessibility, and composability. As such, DeFi may potentially contribute to a more robust and transparent financial infrastructure.

The term decentralized finance - often abbreviated as DeFi - refers to solutions built using internet protocols, using decentralized software solutions, including public blockchains, and web interfaces. DeFi systems deploy 'digital vending machines' created by smart contracts to create automated solutions, resembling those of legacy financial services, without the need of human intervention - in form of middlemen - or a corporate structure. The original concept of a smart contract was developed by Nick Szabo in 1997; he used the example of a vending machine to describe the idea of a "embedded" contract with, in such a way as to make a breach of contract an expensive contract.

The term “money” is often used as a synonym for currency. However, the determination of the former qualification is observably a distinction left entirely to users of the latter. The Federal Reserve has taken the lead on discussing a potential U.S. CBDC with a paper titled “Money and Payments: The U.K. Dollar in the Age of Digital Transformation” The paper enumerates multiple forms of money, differentiating these mostly by their credit and liquidity risks across the central bank, commercial bank and 'nonbank money'

Most often, rationality is defined as clear execution under sound judgement and discipline. When investing, most tend to complement their thesis within a rational decision-making framework, as if that made their analysis "fundamental". Under the spectrum of business and economic valuation techniques, that might be correct. However, the markets are never wrong, and the world is not always rational. In the cryptoverse, over and under valuations have significant elements that make them prone to subjectivity than traditional stocks. Premia and discounts, for instance, are only temporarily perceived due to high volatility conditions. Supply curves, energy shortages, structural changes... none of that seems to fit into the narrative presented in the latest quarterly report or newsletter of a trending crypto fund, so one might think that timeliness is what makes the difference.
