Recently, I came across an interesting business logic: investing hundreds of billions of dollars to train AI stock selection, using the profits earned to continue purchasing computing power, forming a self-reinforcing growth loop. In simple terms, capital keeps working for itself, creating an infinitely efficient cycle.
This may sound distant, but there is a core issue worth everyone’s reflection: where is your capital now? Is it lying in your account sleeping, or is it operating within a system that can continuously generate returns?
Ordinary people obviously don’t have hundreds of billions of dollars to play the AI computing power game, but decentralized finance (DeFi) offers another path. Take a certain lending protocol as an example; it uses code rules to do two things: one, keep lending interest rates below 3% to reduce your cost of capital; two, connect to real-world assets (RWA) like U.S. Treasury bonds, allowing your on-chain funds to stably generate returns of 3%-5%.
It may not sound as glamorous, but this is an "automatically operating efficiency factory"—your money creates value with minimal loss.
More importantly, it’s about participation. By staking tokens, you can not only share in the protocol’s growth profits but also participate in governance voting. This isn’t some endless money loophole, but it does give ordinary people an opportunity to connect their funds to an efficient system while holding a voice.
The game of capital efficiency ultimately requires more people to get involved.

lmao the whole "self-reinforcing loop" narrative is such a classic tell. seen this movie before—works great until the model breaks and you're left holding the bag. pretty predictable vulnerability if you ask me

Leaving money in an account to sleep is really not the way; better to put it into DeFi to earn interest... By the way, a stable return of 3-5% still seems pretty good.

Having money sitting in an account is indeed a form of slow suicide, but honestly, the 3-5% returns from DeFi are not as attractive as I thought...

Basically, it's the same logic: money either works for you or you work for money. DeFi is indeed a bit more democratic.

In simple terms, even the money of the poor needs to be put to work; otherwise, it will truly depreciate in value for nothing.

Putting money in the bank to earn interest is really outdated; I feel that the DeFi logic is truly a real automated income machine.

Hundred-billion-dollar computing power closed loop sounds impressive, but I just want to ask, why not me? The ones who lose happily are always us.
A 3%-5% return is indeed attractive compared to earning interest while lying down, but honestly, is DeFi code really more transparent than CX schemes? That's just ridiculous.
Alright, alright, I’ll trust RWA once. Anyway, retail investors are always retail investors; whether we cut or not is just fate.
In my opinion, the game of capital self-reinforcement has been played for so many years, ordinary people can never be the main players; all we do is just a consensus drum circle passing the flower.
An on-chain automatic efficiency factory? Pfft, sounds good, but essentially it’s just packaging risks as profits and selling them to us, the wealth-fantasizing dreamers.
This author really dares to say that ordinary people can have a say? So my gas fee this month was wasted? [Dog head]

Wow, I think this logic is a bit overhyped. Talking about 3%-5% returns as if it can change your life, but honestly, I prefer the projects I bottomed out on last year... However, RWA is indeed quite interesting, it's definitely more comfortable than just lying around.
