Cathryn Lavery – Zero to DeFi
Welcome to my crash course in Decentralized Finance that will show you everything you need to know about earning passive income from your crypto.
It’s designed for people who want to learn about DeFi in an easy-to-understand way. I’ll demystify the jargon so you gain foundational knowledge, master the essential skills and level up your skills and start making crypto work for you.
Why DeFi?
What’s happening in the crypto space right now is what I feel like the birth of the internet must have been like in the 90’s. I’m confident that learning and investing in the space is like investing in early Apple or being next to Bill Gates as he created Microsoft. This space and the movement to web 3.0 will create generational wealth for people unlike anything we’ve seen before.
It’s why I’ve become so heavily invested into it, and want to show others how to do it.
Getting setup and comfortable with DeFi can be time-consuming, intimidating and costly (especially if you don’t know what you’re doing.) 🥵 The crypto world is filled with scams, pump-and-dump shills, and contradictory information.
That’s why I created Zero to DeFi, it’s everything I wish someone had taught me when I was first getting into the space.
Inside this course, you will find…
Comprehensive video lessons
Each lessons breaks down a key strategy or area of DeFi and runs from 3-10 minutes in length. The videos are predominantly voice-over screen recordings walking through specific tactics and how-tos.
The course is broken down into 3 sections from laying some foundational knowledge, to the essentials and then advanced tactics.
Specific walkthroughs for taking action
Watching the videos isn’t enough to really “get it”. So each lesson includes specific action items & links so you can jump right in and try it yourself. That’s the quickest way to fully understand it.
Each section also has a pop quiz at the end so I can test that you’re getting what we’re throwing down here.
