RE: DeFi, the technology for tomorrow

in Project HOPE4 years ago

Dear @rxge

This is indeed very interesting challenge.
(I'm not sure if you've noticed but "Challenge #2 (October 5th - October 11th) : Diving in DeFi world" is starting tomorrow.

While my story does seem a little futuristic if you're unacquainted with DeFi, this idea of "Decentralised Finance" is not too far off.

One can only wonder, if central banks , regulators and politicians collaborating and supporting idea of central banks will manage to fight with DeFi and upcoming trends.

When you use DeFi, you are taking away trust from organisations and putting it into blockchain code (which is audited by thousands of eyes).

I see some serious issue with it. So far my impression is, that TRUST is something that blockchain doesn't replace in any sufficient way. Hopefully one day this issue will be somehow resolved, but right now blockchain = the world where we simply do not know who to trust and for that particular reason our financial decisions suffer much greater risks.

At the end of the day - we end up with millions of blockchain users, who suffer with lack of trust. For regular person (like myself) it is a challenge. Moving away from banks and removing them as a TRUST "verificators" is creating void, which blockchain isn't filling in any succesful way. It's a void allowing many to take advantage.

I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I did writing it.
Solid read . Upvote on the way ...

Enjoy your weekend,

Hello Piotr 😀

One can only wonder, if central banks , regulators and politicians collaborating and supporting idea of central banks will manage to fight with DeFi and upcoming trends.

This is my prime worry about DeFi's adoption too. But we should not forget that bitcoin (which also takes banks out of the equation) has thrived in the 11 years it has existed; avid crypto users will find a way to circumvent this lobbying. Unfortunately we cannot say the same for the average Joe.

that TRUST is something that blockchain doesn't replace in any sufficient way

Agreed. DeFi doesn't mean '100% safe'. Look at what happened due to a rebase bug. People assume that cryptocurrencies are the safe haven of tomorrow's transactions. But we can only bring DeFi to mainstream if it's well audited and proved safe.

Thanks for reading. Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
