Right from getting my ETH on chain in late 2019s to writing this article to claim a lens profile. I realised i have come a long way in my DeFi journey. I remember i was even scared of executing a Uniswap txn in fear of losing all the funds on my wallet. I laugh when i look back at this moment. I started with zero knowledge, some funds and curiosity to try out this new world. This is still my best advice to someone getting started with DeFi. Get some funds and start playing around. To your advantage nowadays there are tons of L2s were the cost of learning is significantly reduced because of gas prices.

I would like to express gratitude through this post to all those countless people who introduced me to DeFi. It has definitely changed my life. Now i work for blockchain startup. Made significant amounts through airdrops but most important have found supportive people and knowledge that no one could take away from me. Long way to go. Eyes ahead.
