I will take a stab at this. Of course none of this has to do with the price, sol/eth could explode or crash, and it's completely irrelevant to this discussion. I'm merely trying to answer the question about decentralization. Also, for once, let's keep Ethereum's decentralization

It took me *one minute* to check that my favorite DeFi protocols were solvent and hadn’t been diddling with reserves. ONE. MINUTE. Meanwhile we are all scrambling like chickens with our heads cut off for WEEKS trying to find out if CEXes have been messing around. Unreal.

I worked at the Maker Foundation for 2 years and never once even came close to seeing ANYTHING that looked like a fake statistic, data point, TVL, etc etc. That team works hard to earn their TVL.

No one in the world has ever bought $BTC at a higher price than I just did.

The last few weeks have made it crystal clear who's in it for the money and who's in it for the tech. I have no problem with people who are solely in it for the money. I have a huge problem with people who are in it for the money but pretend to be in it for the tech.

Some of you have never studied corporate finance, modern banking, or even simple fucking accounting and it shows. Yet you all have the hubris to shill ponzi assets as "DeFi 2.0", UpOnly, new revolutions in finance.
