    Until recently, Seb the founder of Gains Network a high speed leveraged trading platform supporting Forex and Crypto and decentralized was the only developer on the team. They've added some part time help, but he built a powerful synthetics-based trading platform that makes day trading possible on DeFi. 

    With a fairer and less expensive model and amazing tokenomics and earning possibilities, he's managed to accumulate a large community and $4.2 billion in volume in a very short time.

    This is not financial advice. Nothing said on the show should be considered financial advice. This is just the opinions of Brad Nickel and his guests. None of us are financial advisors. Trading, participating, yield farming, liquidity pools, and all of DeFi and crypto is high risk and dangerous. If you decide to participate, do your own research. Never count on the research of others. We don't know what we are talking about and you can lose all your money. Never invest more than you can afford to lose, because you probably will lose it all.
