Gold Finch may have overcome the problem of "It's just a crypto thing" when talking about DeFi
When talking about DeFi, it can be a challenge because some people dismiss it as something only within the realm of cryptocurrencies. However, Goldfinch may have overcome this issue by incorporating RWA (real world assets) into the discussion. Explaining the concept of DeFi with the inclusion of real world assets can be difficult, as I experienced when trying to explain it to a friend who has some understanding of blockchain. @zk_crypto shared a tweet on July 8, 2022 that touches on this topic. They mentioned that even when using Tinlake as an example, the involvement of a company in the process raises questions about what DeFi really is. However, they also mentioned that they are quite fond of projects like Goldfinch that have a social impact and are mixed with elements of CeFi. @otukarehitoiki1 also tweeted about this on July 8, 2022. They expressed their excitement about Goldfinch and how it represents a DeFi project with real-world demand. They mentioned that if more projects like this emerge, it would signify the next stage of DeFi and make it easier to explain.
