At the time, crypto had no real use case. Four years ago your options were to buy, hold, or transfer. Sure, it met the use case as a means of transferring value, but at the time this was not really very revolutionary. Still today, I can transfer value quicker and cheaper with other methods via Zelle, Cash App, Pay Pal, and other money transfer services. Many use this fact as a reason why crypto will fail, but I think they fail to see the big picture. They fail to see the big picture because to a large extent the picture has not been drawn, and many cannot comprehend what they cannot tangibly interact with. They cannot envision a future that they themselves are not the architect of. The future needs to make sense. The problem with technology, however, is that we largely don’t know what’s coming, as incremental improvements over time lead to compounded returns in innovation and application.
One of my favorite articles to look back on was written by Clifford Stoll in 1995, titled, “Why the Web Won’t Be Nirvana.” I think the following excerpt will summarize his thoughts on the internet at the time:
Then there's cyberbusiness. We're promised instant catalog shopping—just point and click for great deals. We'll order airline tickets over the network, make restaurant reservations and negotiate sales contracts. Stores will become obsolete. So how come my local mall does more business in an afternoon than the entire Internet handles in a month? Even if there were a trustworthy way to send money over the Internet—which there isn't—the network is missing a most essential ingredient of capitalism: salespeople.
What I believe Stoll missed in this article was what existed outside of his understanding. He was right, at the time the internet was largely useless. What he failed to account for was future minds making incremental improvements on something with vast and limitless potential. We have clearly not reached the peak of Internet potential, and we likely never will.
Similar to Stoll’s inability to see the potential in what was at the time unseeable, we see the same today from the critics of cryptocurrency. “Bitcoin will never be a currency!” Okay, you may very well be right. “If I can’t hold it, it isn’t real!” None-sense. “Regulators will destroy it!” How? Why? “It’s a Tulip Bubble!” Come on man. Humans are incredibly quick to categorize in an attempt to make sense of the world around them. Cryptocurrency needs to fit within a neatly packaged box for many to begin to even try to understand it. The reality is that nobody can categorize cryptocurrency because the use cases are still emerging. Crypto doesn’t fit one category, and it likely never will.
Many may also feel as though they were late to the party. The fact that so many people made fortunes early on is used as an example of why this technology will fail. This is the bubble theory in a nutshell. If you are one of these people, I hate to break it to you, but the world doesn’t care about your missed opportunities. Are you too late to invest today? I don’t really think so, but even if you were, that’s a representation of your failure, not Bitcoin’s.
I’m going to share my logic on why I’m invested in cryptocurrency, and maybe you’ll think I’m nuts. But If you do, I challenge you to really question how (for lack of a better word) smart you actually are, and why you feel the need to be right. I don’t need to know the potential use cases. I don’t need to categorize cryptocurrency. I don’t think that is even possible. So here is my entire investment thesis in one sentence:
"People much smarter than me from all around the world have the ability to develop use cases on top of a fundamentally sound and secure ledger (with inherent economic value) of information that can never be tampered with."
In summary: I have no idea what will come next for crypto and blockchain, but my investment is a bet on the individuals developing on it. That’s really it. Thanks to the economic model of most cryptocurrencies, the more use cases, and demand, the higher the token value.
Still confusing? Let’s look at it this way. Suppose the internet had limited bandwidth. As demand grew, participants would have to pay an increasing amount of money to move information from A to B. Now imagine a world in 1995 where you could buy some of that bandwidth as an investment. It would have been a blind investment, of course. However, as use cases grew along with demand, your bandwidth would have become incredibly valuable.
I have a unique vantage point within the blockchain space. On a daily basis, I interact with investors, thinkers, and developers from all around the world. At BSC News alone, we have a staff that spans nearly every continent on Earth. Blockchain development has become a space where the barriers to entry are practically destroyed, and anyone with an internet connection and the conviction to build is welcome to participate.
Having interviewed nearly two dozen project developers in a matter of weeks, I have discovered a common theme that rings true to nearly all of them. They are unbelievably devoted to what they are building and the impact they hope to have on the world. On a number of occasions, developers on the podcast have become emotional when discussing their journey in the space. It has been life-changing for many, and the work they are doing is really only beginning. You can feel the passion they put out, and it is inspiring.
The online space often referred to as Crypto Twitter is also fun as hell. Yes, it is obnoxious, inappropriate at times, and hilarious, but it is filled with incredibly helpful people looking to share this experience with one another.
If you are reading this as a developer, investor, or someone completely new to the space, I think it is important to step back and really look at what is going on in this space. Pay close attention to how it is described. Consider how quickly Defi has emerged and continues to innovate. Pay particularly close attention to the critics. Remember that space now has 2 trillion dollars of capital (on-chain) and thousands of developers constantly competing and innovating. If I had to place a bet again today, I really would not bet against it. A bet against crypto is a bet against human innovation.

Lola (AMA HOST): Hello!
You're welcome
Blood Tree: Thanks for having us
Lola (AMA HOST): How're you doing today?
Blood Tree: Doing good, I'm excited to be here finally. We've been waiting for this for a few weeks haha
How are you
Lola (AMA HOST): Glad to have you here. 😊
I'm good.
Shall we set the ball rolling?
Blood Tree: Yup, let's get it crackin
Q1. Can you give us a general introduction of you and Tree Defi? Could you tell us your role in the project and briefly introduce Tree Defi?
Blood Tree: Hello, I’m blood tree, one of the founders of TreeDefi, a Yield Farming project that focuses on deflationary tokenomics, real life NFT implementation and planting real trees around the world through deposit fees
My main role in the team is partnership, marketing and community management. I also love doing graphics for the project, writing articles and making youtube videos. It’s still work but I have a lot of fun with it so it almost feels like a hobby
And yeah, we treat every day as a new challenge and we love developing new skills through this opportunity offered to us by Defi
Lola (AMA HOST): Having so many skills. How do you manage them?
Blood Tree: Multitasking and lots of caffeine
Everyone is like this on our team, we're a bunch of sleepless maniacs
Lola (AMA HOST): Good one there!
Q2. How many team members do you have working with you? And can you also tell us their roles?
Blood Tree: We are currently 8 members, without counting the supporters we’ve recruited from our group, which help us with spreading the word about the project, some twitter management, community graphics and user support. It’s amazing to already have members from the community that we can trust when we’re overwhelmed by work
As far the main team goes we’re all coming from the startup world, having worked with countless projects and companies, so everyone is crafty with several skills required for this project, and we push each other to new limits every day
Everyone has an area they specialize in though, some are solidity and react developers, some work on UX/UI frontend changes, some marketing and community management and some research the landscape constantly and try to implement new innovative ideas. And we all try to learn from each other's specialty
Hope that answers it 😄
Lola (AMA HOST): Sure it does!
Q3. What are the major challenges of Tree Defi and how do you intend to solve them.
Blood Tree: The Defi world in general is a challenge in itself haha
It’s very hard to start a project and get it running. Once you get it running it’s hard to stabilize from the unavoidable initial pump and dump, and once you get through that you need a consistent schedule of updates to keep the ball running
The landscape is a non stop 24/7 365 days endeavour. Everything is in constant motion and everything your competitors do affects you too. Those previous points made the past month a bit of a living hell for us, having no free days, no proper sleep and no proper relationships with people in real life. But we’re never gonna stop. Seeing the community excited when we release something is much more rewarding than any vacation we could take
We’ve also overcome some minor hurdles during launch, but our community stood strong with us through it all, never flinching. We're blessed to have such a supportive userbase ❤️
Q4. How does staking works? And what's the reward Percentage? And can you tell us about your Audit?
Blood Tree:
Users have the opportunity to stake their SEED and TREE into our farms and pools, along with other tokens of their choice, including the ones from our partners. Since the project is young the rewards are still quite high, having over 1500% APR in some of our farms. We’ve also included a limited time pool where users can receive TREE as a reward (our capped token, with a supply of 16001 TREE). We’re always improving our farms and tweaking them for our users’ enjoyment and to stabilize tokenomics when needed.
Our audit was done by TechRate, a very respectable firm that has helped other large projects like Swamp in the past. They’ve been very kind to us, well priced and professional. They even went through phone calls with us to look into our contracts in detail and explain everything they do to us. It’s been a great experience and we recommend them.
If you wanna check the audit out it's in our menu on our app at app.treedefi.com
Q5. I learnt you would love to have partnerships with other Defi projects. Can you tell us which you've been looking at And why would you love to partner with them?
Blood Tree: Of course, we’ve already partnered up with Slime Finance and Blueswap. Both have been great experiences, and we’re in touch with Slime everyday, trying to organize new things in the future
Lola (AMA HOST): That's good to hear. How about Blueswap? How has it helped Tree Defi?
Blood Tree: And that’s how partnerships should be in our opinion. In Defi, partnerships generally last one day before they fade away and only consist of a crossed pool or something along those lines. We're trying to do more with them
Blue have been nice to us, they've just sent us a proposal a few days ago where they would like to include us into one of their new features
Lola (AMA HOST): Great
Blood Tree: And I like their graphics in general haha
We've also launched a partnership with Soteria Finance, which now offers insurance cover for our project
Lola (AMA HOST): a Graphic Person. 😅
Blood Tree: Yes, I'm very picky with that stuff haha
Lola (AMA HOST): Good.
Blood Tree: And yeah in general more partnerships are coming. And we're in talks with other players that we think will re-shape Defi along with us in the next year
Q6. Can you tell us Tree Huggers Reward Program?
Blood Tree: Yes, I love the tree huggers program
It’s a program where we reward the most active and helpful members of our community with TREE to put it simply. Each week we will start a poll with the 10 most active members of the week. 3 members will be picked by the community and 2 members will be picked by admins. They will receive 1 TREE each, a Tree Hugger name tag and will be included in our TreeHouse telegram group, where we work with our most helpful members on community management, marketing and development of new features
At the end of the month there will be a huge giveaway for Tree Huggers where 3 random members will receive:
5 TREE + 5 SEED
3 TREE + 3 SEED
2 TREE + 2 SEED
It's a good way to keep our best members close to us
Lola (AMA HOST): Yes you're right.
Q7. What Future Development and Plannings do you have?
Blood Tree: Right now we are working hard on deploying our TreeDefi Games, which will include: Green Wheel, Lottery and King of the Forest. We’re trying really hard to launch them this week but they require a lot of testing to avoid any bugs both in the contract and frontend
We’re also working on our new version of the frontend, which will be built fully from scratch and separate from the Pancake interface. And we hope that will make our presentation even cleaner and more appealing to investors. We’re also working on more tree donations, and new NPOs that we could partner with to donate in more creative ways
Lola (AMA HOST): Great. And that takes me to next question
Q8. Can you tell us about the three donations that's going on in Tree Defi?
Blood Tree: Of course, tree donations are our bread and butter. We’ve started the project with the goal of planting as many trees as possible. We thought this would be a good way to give Defi a real world application that is usually missing from these projects.
As of now we’ve planted over $7000 worth of trees during the first month of the project, and we’re gonna keep donating more and more every week moving forward. The way it works is that we currently use ⅓ of deposit fees to plant real trees around the world. In the future we’ll find new ways to improve this system and donate more
We’re thinking of a way of letting users donate individually through us if they wanna represent TreeDefi. We’re also thinking of doing fundraisers for other types of good causes in the future, and different ways to include NPOs into the world of Defi. We think it’s often overlooked and just something that we and the community love to do!
Lola (AMA HOST): I'm liking your done with tree symbol. Haha
Blood Tree: Yes I need to keep my text alignment consistent haha
Lola (AMA HOST): 👍😊
Q9. Can you tell the Community about the Seed in Tree Defi
Blood Tree: Absolutely, SEED is basically the main engine running our Yield Farms
It is a token that is uncapped but deflationary in nature. The starting emission rate is 0.15 SEED per BSC Block, and it deflates by 2% each week. Currently it has already lowered to 0.144
This means that eventually our token output will start slowing down and SEED supply will become more and more scarce. And this is without taking into account the burning mechanisms that we will implement shortly through games, and the occasional celebratory manual burn. SEED is used for most of our farms and it is therefore our main reward for users on the platform. TREE on the other hand is our capped token with a supply of only 16001 TREE. So it's the rare token of our platform.
And TREE is also used for Governance
Lola (AMA HOST): Okay.
Why this emoji? 😉
Let's promote Tree Defi 😊
Blood Tree: haha I love that one, it confuses people
Lola (AMA HOST): Haha. Okay. No problem
Q10. Share with us all the links about Tree Defi, so that readers can find out more and also follow the development of the project.
Blood Tree: Here are all of our important links:
If you wanna get in touch with us directly the best way is through Telegram, that's where we're active all day long
Lola (AMA HOST): Noted
Q11. Lastly our favourite question, do you have any alpha or juicy news for us in BSC News today?
Blood Tree: Haha, we don’t like spoiling future updates too much. But we do have our NFT system coming out very soon. We just launched a front end sneak peek today on our platform. Any curious BSC News users can go on app.treedefi.com/nftrees and check it out. The way it works is that our NFTrees are directly connected to real life trees that we planted.
Investors that purchase the NFT will get a lot of statistics about their tree, including: Name & Scientific Name, Date of Birth, Country of Origin, Place of Birth, Longitude and Latitude, Proof of planting and the CO2 removed by their tree. We’re also planning on releasing a map where users can connect with their wallet and see Their trees around the world in a clean interface.
Lola (AMA HOST): Great.
Now we've come to the end of the First round.
It was a really a nice session. Thanks @bloodtree 😊
Blood Tree: Thank you for all of the great questions, they were fun to answer! 😊
Lola (AMA HOST): Welcome Shanron
Hope you're good.
Shanron: yes I am great
Lola (AMA HOST): Good to hear that.
So shall we start?
Shanron: Yes I can't wait and I am sure the community is also ready !!
Lola (AMA HOST): Sure they are. 😊
Q1. Can you give us a general introduction of you and Dragon Ball Finance? Could you tell us your role in the project and briefly introduce Dragon Ball Finance?
Shanron: Yes of course !
Dragonball Is the first All In One DeFi platform with the coolest of all themes.
it is a protocol that allows you to have sustainable gains backed by a constant income that is generated through all DBF products.
I am the CEO and founder of the protocol,
I gather team members and advisors and hire professional coders to develop the smart contracts.
I have been in crypto since 2016, when I was shocked by blockchain technology and witnessed ICO and tokens in general 100x and then lose 99.99% of their value the day after.
I left crypto aside for a couple of years after the bubble, graduated and found a job in finance.. and then Uniswap came out..And history begun..
Lola (AMA HOST): This sounds great.
Q2. How many team members do you have working with you? And can you also tell us their roles?
Shanron: We started small with one developer, one designer and me.
We recently had the chance to hire new team members especially experienced devs that are now focusing maily on the IFO platform and NFT marketplace !
The website as well is being rebranded and redesigned to give it the look it deserves !
Lola (AMA HOST): That's great. And how has been the Journey so far?
Shanron: it has been great I gotta say
the community has backed us and we are growing daily, we also made so many progress on the development side, and once all use case will be applied I can really see this Dapp competing with top bsc projects !!
Q3. Can you tell us how Farming and staking works in Dragon Ball Finance? What's the reward Percentage?
Shanron: Farming and staking is very similar to pancake and similar platform we have created a full path tutorial to guide investors in the process, feel free to check it out here
the reward percentage is based on current price liquidity in the pool, token emission, pool multiplier and is a variable not a constant. Everyone can check it live on the top right of each farm at https://dragonballfinance.org/farms
Q4. Has your Smart Contract been audited? If he's, who audited it? And can you show us the report? As the security of the Community matters.
Shanron: Yes, we believe investors security and safety is the highest priority, that's why we audited our contracts as soon as they were out and we will keep auditing with other reputable companies as we organically grow.
here's the link:
Q5. How many Partners do you have? And what do you expect from them?
Shanron: We have several partner and advisors and are in talks with many potential future partners, but we believe that NFT marketplace and IFO launchpad have the priority as they are one of the most important products needed in the space !
Lola (AMA HOST):
That's good. And what stage do you plan to make that happen?
Shanron: IFO platform is being worked on and should be ready by next week !!
NFT marketplace is much more complicated and it will take around a month
we have another dev working on the first DBF casino game, and should be up at the beginning of te month!
that will really boost DBALL use case and price in my opinion
Q6. Can investors get in now? Or it's late to buy cheap and Hold to get rewards? And can you give out steps and details to do that?
Shanron: Yes you can buy DBALL now and stake it on the staking pool or provide liquidity for it and stake it the website to earn constant reward !!
follow the steps outlined in the tutorial for getting in early and not missing the dragonballfinance train !!
Q7. Can you share with our community the plans you and your project have for this year and the coming years?
Shanron: Dragonballfinance is here to stay,
We have built a roadmap that allow the project to create an ecosystem where the native token as multiple use cases in the protocol generating demand and scarcity for the token.
here is a list of the products we plan to implement that will directly or indireclty benefit DBALL and its holders:
Launchapad IFO (half of raised funds is used to burn DBALL)
NFT marketplace (anyone can list their NFT and anyone can buy them only with DBALL)
Super Saiyan pools (DBALL holders will be able to stake DBALL and earn BNB)
Casino platform (users can only play with DBALL, lost DBALL is burned)
Charting tool ( a tool similar to chartex or dextools where anyone can track any token and if you hold a certain amount of DBALL you unlock pro features)
Farming As A Service platform (host other protocol farms and use a % of LP deposit fee to buy back DBALL and burn it)
stable coins
vaults
lending and borrowing
expansion to other chains
much much more !!
Lola (AMA HOST): Great👍
Q8. What are the major challenges of Dragon Ball Finance and how do you intend to solve them?
Shanron: Major challenge right now is fighting inflation, we used to have too many non native farms and pools that allowed non native farmers to sell too many DBALL, so we removed most of them and added new native farms, also we plan to improve DBALL price and liquidity through layer farming , a perpetual way of high risk high reward gains that will happen weekly and will boost DBALL price and liquidity !!
Lola (AMA HOST): That's a great move.
Q9. Share with us all the links about DballFinance, so that readers can find out more and also follow the development of the project.
Shanron: 🐉Welcome to DragonBall Finance!🐉

Thanks for your time. Twas a really a nice time with you Shanron
When I first took the time to learn about cryptocurrency, or blockchain specifically, what really caught my attention was not the promise of Lambos on the moon or even the tech, what stood out to me was what the tech-enabled: People.
At the time, crypto had no real use case. Four years ago your options were to buy, hold, or transfer. Sure, it met the use case as a means of transferring value, but at the time this was not really very revolutionary. Still today, I can transfer value quicker and cheaper with other methods via Zelle, Cash App, Pay Pal, and other money transfer services. Many use this fact as a reason why crypto will fail, but I think they fail to see the big picture. They fail to see the big picture because to a large extent the picture has not been drawn, and many cannot comprehend what they cannot tangibly interact with.

Then there's cyberbusiness. We're promised instant catalog shopping—just point and click for great deals. We'll order airline tickets over the network, make restaurant reservations and negotiate sales contracts. Stores will become obsolete. So how come my local mall does more business in an afternoon than the entire Internet handles in a month? Even if there were a trustworthy way to send money over the Internet—which there isn't—the network is missing a most essential ingredient of capitalism: salespeople.
