Crypto, DeFi and Yield Farming Explained [Live DEMO] by Red from Harvest.Finance

Hi folks,

This episode has a Live Demo of the Harvest.Finance platform available to view here -> https://youtu.be/AOhGg4vwyR4

By now you would have heard about Bitcoin, cryptocurrency and the works. There is amazing experimental democratised finance systems being build and I think they are worth keeping and eye on for educational purposes. The world of finance is changing quickly and in that fast paced transition from the present to the future is where the opportunities lay.

This is why I've invited Red from Harvest.Finance to explain Yield Farming, a new development that allows people to become an active liquidity provider to new cryptocurrency projects while earning interest on their cryptocurrency.

We talk everything from what is DeFi, how it's changing finance, what yield farming is and a live demo on how to yield farm.

You'll hear through out this podcast that cryptocurrency, DeFi, Bitcoin, Yield Farming and everything else associated is EXTREMELY HIGH RISK. So please ensure you are educated and comfortable before interacting with this highly exciting, yet highly risky innovation. I cannot stress this enough!

Other than that, I hope you enjoy this PRSPR Podcast brought to you by Future Fund. Future Fund invests in the future of humanity and it's an honour to have them as our sponsor.
