When I started looking in #DeFi in November 2019 there were very not so many players as today.

On February 2020 it was like the image below.

This is a brief (melancholy) thread of that beautiful experience!

I miss @EthereumDenver and #USA

Landed in SF, me and @simoneconti_ had a very compelling breakfast with @rleshner in @compoundfinance offices!

It was one of our very first in person talk with someone who built a pillar of the ecosystem we today know.

In that moment DeFI TVL was close but less than 1B

And then a dinner with @felix2feng

We discussed about upcoming indexes and feature of @tokensets

Nice to listen to his story on how he built with his team the very first protocol which did on-chain strategies!

And in the Convention Center you could find http://sai2dai.xyz , the very first product we built to easily track SAI (Single Collateral DAI) to MCD DAI (Multi collateral DAI)

At that time @MakerDAO $DAI cap was less than 200M (think about now, just 1 year after)

Travelling to Denver, passing through the Grand Canyon
