DeFi protocols rarely die because of code. Bugs and exploits make headlines, but most teams patch those quickly. What really buries projects is governance. Code is math. It executes exactly what’s written. Governance is people, and people bring polit...
I don’t really see TradFi vs DeFi as the big divide people keep making it out to be. To me, the real split is between control and coordination. TradFi is built on layers of control, banks, central authorities, regulators, while DeFi is messy but lean...
