Want to stop staring at charts all day? Want to earn high yield safely and sensibly? Want to invest more into crypto but don't know where to start? Then keep reading…

Cryptocurrencies are the fastest appreciating asset class, outperforming stocks, real estate and precious metals. Many people want to get involved but don't know where to start. They have heard about crypto, perhaps don't understand it fully but don't want to end up like some of the horror stories in crypto. Others have started to explore but don't know which step to take next. It can be the wild west out there...

Are you fed up with 'shillers' on Youtube or the person at work telling you all about this and that coin? If you're sick of spending nights looking at charts, trying to catch dips and tops, wasting precious time and energy earning money in a way that is gambling. Wondering when in a bull market where everything is going up and to the right, how can you gauge which projects have proper market fit?

What is Defi? Guides can help. In this book, you will discover...

  • You can earn yield even in a bear market.
  • You can keep control of your wealth.
  • You can partake in the fastest growing asset class without the high-risk trading tactics.
  • Discover things you never knew about Bitcoin and the crypto space.
  • Understand what opportunities are currently open for safe but lucrative investments.
  • A deep dive into one of the most intriguing projects on the blockchain.
  • You can stop spending nights looking at charts.


What is DeFi? Guides explore crypto in a sensible, easy to understand way. We look at the side of crypto that has fully working products. What is Defi? is not about gambling through trading (in which an average of 70% of people lose their wealth). It's about looking at various financial products on the DeFi network that are now open to anyone and can help you grow your wealth safely and sensibly.

Some of the best-kept secrets in crypto are here.

Hex is a bit of an anomaly in the DeFi space; you won't see it listed on the first page on popular listing sites while listed as a top 10 coin on many others. It's a coin that pays you interest to do the only thing that matters in crypto, holding the price. Unlike other projects in DeFi, Hex has no third party. You control your private keys.

This book is a complete guide that will give you the knowledge and confidence to go out into the world of Defi and Hex. Even if you have had no experience in the crypto space, What is DeFi? Guides are clear, concise and highly informative for beginners and experienced crypto users alike.

If you would like to join the tens of thousands of people from college students to grandparents who have been earning interest every day the DeFi way, scroll up and click the Add to Cart button.

Joakim Kristiansen is a teacher and book publisher, writing from the mountains of Portugal. A former gold bug/altcoin shiller/Bitcoin maximalist, he was introduced to the world of DeFi after listening to the 'Bankless' podcast. Since then, he has gone on to write What is DeFi? Guides to Bitcoin, Stablecoins and Hex.

An interest in monetary history and cryptocurrencies has led him to exciting places with interesting people. Whether that's with a group trying to re-introduce the gold Dinar into Pakistan, an anarchist conference in Mexico or installing Telegram.

Introduced to Bitcoin in 2014, he instantly moved his gold into crypto when he realised this will be the new money. Once in the crypto-sphere, he made all the common mistakes the uninitiated do when moving into the 'Wild West' of the 21st century, the world of altcoins. Mistakes the What is Defi? series hopes to help people avoid.

He has worked in the banking, construction, energy, sales and education sectors, to name a few. He is currently publishing books on spirituality, sustainable living and early years reading through his Yak Hat publishing company. www.yakhat.com

I bought this for friends & family that did not have a good understanding of cryptocurrency, let alone hex. The chapters build on each other and the book is fairly short. Not a hard read by any means. 100% recommend for people wanting to inform others on hex or to learn more about hex yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good intro to Hex mechanisms and blockchain basics
Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2021

It helped me to have an overall picture of what Hex is and staking mechanisms. Anyone trying to get into the world of Hex and what it offers in terms of short and long term staking should read this book to have a strong understand. The fact that it also explains blockchain in general and the way they are being used, secured and applied makes it a top choice to have and give it as a gift to new people trying to get a feel of Hex and the blockchain world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great understanding on HEX

I’ve been in HEX for over 3 months now. Still learning as much as I can. This book gives you the solid foundation on what HEX is and how it operates. Love how basic the author keeps it in the book. Help me to explain it to friends now thanks to the wording in here. If you are em experienced “HEXICAN” you probably won’t learn too many new things. But it’s the breakdown that opens your mind. 7/5 stars!

Lots of really good learning in this book. Will certainly get you fired up to invest in Cryptos. Even if you don't know much about them, this book is a great way to find out. Hex and Defi were a mystery to me before and this book clearly lays it out for you. Highly recommended.

I like the way this book focuses on investing in the long term, rather than trying to make a quick buck by trading (hint: most people fail at this). A lot of highly valuable information is contained within this book. I'm glad I found it.
