Why De-Fi?
Finance can be a technical field to explain. Accessing a system that can earn you more money (with the additional risk involved, of course) is an important reason to level up your personal finance knowledge. Simply put, Crypto gives Caribbean people a way to invest in projects and earn from them.

However, the drawback is that the De-Fi space is largely unregulated. The risk concerned can be too much for people who are used to having a “sure thing” in their savings account — even though the interest such accounts pay is often canceled out by the fees they charge for account maintenance.

Your appetite, or, should I say, your ability to stomach risk will likely determine whether or not (and how much) you want to invest in this kind of financial opportunity, or whether you leave your money in your savings account…or the under-the-mattress fund (Tanty-style — no shade), as the case may be.

Learning is half the battle, though. Knowing what De-Fi is in the first place gives you a valuable leg up on getting your financial goals sorted out. What you choose to do with this knowledge is strictly up to you.
