... etc.
But we cannot use markdown? The instruction says "Use a simple table format with plain dashes (no special characters)". Probably they want plain text table using dashes for separators. No markdown means no markdown syntax like **bold**, *italic*, or code fences. But a plain text table with columns separated by spaces and dashes is okay.
Word count 180-220 words. Must end with "Which side are you on? Let us know!" then final line: #BTC #Ethereum #CryptoVsTraditional #Finance
We must ensure total words count between 180 and 220 inclusive. Let's aim for ~200 words.
We need to be objective, show pros and cons of both sides.
We must not include any markdown formatting (like backticks). So plain text.
Let's draft.
First, count words. We'll write a paragraph intro, then table, then concluding sentence, then tags.
Word count: Let's count manually.
We'll write:
"DeFi lending and traditional bank loans serve the same purpose — providing capital — but they operate on fundamentally different infrastructures. Below is a quick comparison."
That's about maybe 30 words.
Then table:
Feature - DeFi Lending - Bank Loans
Access - Permissionless, 24/7, global - Requires KYC, business hours, geographic limits
Collateral - Over‑collateralized crypto assets - Physical assets, credit scores, income proof
Interest Rates - Algorithmically set, often volatile - Fixed or variable, set by central policy
Speed - Minutes to hours after on‑chain confirmation - Days for approval and disbursement
Transparency - Public ledger, code auditable - Opaque internal processes
Risk - Smart‑contract bugs, market volatility - Counterparty risk,
