Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin were the first stepping stone, but the true revolution is happening in Decentralized Finance (DeFi). DeFi platforms offer lending, borrowing, trading, and other financial services without banks or traditional financial institutions. Blockchain’s Core Advantages over Traditional…
