DeFi has produced some of the most technically sophisticated financial infrastructure built in the last decade — and some of the weakest organic search strategies of any financial services category. The disconnect is striking but understandable. Decentralised finance projects are typically built by teams whose expertise lies in protocol design, smart contract security, tokenomics architecture, …
Instagram has been pronounced dead or dying by marketing commentators at regular intervals for the past five years. It remains one of the most powerful brand-building platforms on the internet.
