Traditional finance values assets differently than crypto. In TradFi, the valuation anchors rely on three pillars: expected future cash flows, risk-adjusted discount rates applied to those flows, and the legal/contractual guarantees backing everything. This fundamental difference shapes how value gets determined in each system.

In plain terms, traditional finance (tradfi) relies on cash flow and legal provisions for support, while crypto... depends entirely on faith and consensus. How can this gap be bridged?

The traditional cash flow discount model is really dead in crypto, and contract guarantees are even more nonsense... The crypto world is just a confidence game, bro.

lmao "legal guarantees" - yeah tell that to the next bank run victim. meanwhile crypto's literally playing 4d chess with naked valuations, no intermediaries trying to skim the spread. cash flows? more like cash *traps* designed to keep retail dumb & poor.
