there are 2 places that I always visit in a new place - one of them is the local market... only there you can feel the authenticity and breathe in the aromas of the country... see the habits of the locals, try and enjoy the local cuisine and flavor... and what is important to you when visiting a new countries?

📍Charyn Canyon, Kazakhstan 🇰🇿
We landed on Mars 🚀
That was the first thought when we first laid eyes on the Charyn Canyon. It's part of the eponymous national park. It's incredible to have such colors and shapes in one place, such diverse landscapes, mountains covered in snow like they're inserted into postcards.
Kazakhstan has been a big positive surprise from start to finish. They're increasingly adapting to tourists and following trends. Even in such seemingly inaccessible places, they have souvenir shops (I bought a cap there as a keepsake), cafes, food... There's no litter or anything that could spoil the impression.
Charyn is easiest to explore if you're based in Almaty, and as soon as the weather gets better, they open up glamping resorts where you can wake up to such a view 😍
However, with the rapid development of DeFi also come challenges and risks, including issues with the security of smart contracts, regulatory uncertainty, and liquidity concerns, among others. Therefore, the cryptocurrency industry is both discussing and exploring solutions to address these issues while closely monitoring the direction and potential of DeFi development.
The rise of DeFi has brought forth many new projects and innovations, such as liquidity mining, stablecoins, lending protocols, and more. These projects have attracted a large number of investors and users, driving the overall growth of the cryptocurrency industry.
DeFi offers a range of financial services such as lending, trading, and savings, all of which are facilitated by smart contracts on the blockchain, without the need for traditional financial intermediaries. This allows participants to engage in financial activities in a decentralized environment, enabling autonomous asset management and trading.
In the current cycle, one of the primary narratives in the cryptocurrency industry is likely the rise and development of decentralized finance (DeFi). DeFi has become a hot topic in the cryptocurrency space, attracting significant funds and attention.
