Index funds brought investing to the masses—but DTFs take it further. Think of it this way: full transparency on what you're holding, rebalancing that happens automatically without waiting for market hours, and zero gatekeepers deciding what you can or can't do.
No middlemen squeezing fees. No trading windows. No one can suddenly shut the doors on you.
That's the difference between accessing markets and owning them.

Transparent, automatic, and barrier-free—that's what true ownership is, not borrowing rights.

DTF's logic sounds good, but whether it can truly eliminate middlemen depends on actual implementation... To put it simply, you still need to figure it out for yourself.

Honestly, this is just repackaging Buffett's old and outdated theories with blockchain, but I have to admit— it really hits the pain points of traditional finance. Zero fees, full transparency, no one can shut down your account... From the perspective of supply and demand curves, the aesthetic value of this thing is indeed underestimated.

Sounds good, but the real question is, can retail investors really hold on?

dtf sounds good, but is there really no trap? I always feel like I'll still get cut somewhere.

Oh my god, someone finally said it—the barriers in traditional finance are really outrageous.

Oh, this is exactly what I've been wanting to say: decentralization is true freedom.

That's right, the threshold is finally going to be lowered.
