Credit is loaning you money and providing an interest rate. Usually something insane like 15%.

DeFi is unlocking the value of an asset, making it liquid and allowing me to participate in other investment opportunities without an APR.

One example is on Kaurura. I have KSM, Stake that KSM for a 19% APR Rate. Throw that LKSM into a vault and mint AUSD as long as i have 160% collatoral ratio. I can then use that aUSD i printed, buy other assets and participate in liquidity pools, which are giving anywhere from 50% to 300% APR.

It's a new era of finance. Play around in the space before you say it's worthless.
