Centralization failed, but decentralization did not...
Lately we have been living complicated times in the crypto world and in the traditional market, for nobody is a secret, but along with all these situations have arisen a lot of comments and catastrophic opinions that suffered "the end of cryptocurrencies".
I have to say that there is still a lot of development, acceptance, to achieve a real massification in which cryptocurrencies are used on a daily basis, lack of education, perhaps acceptance by more governments, in short, there is still a long way to go but to say that the fall of Terra or FTX is the end, is absurd.
What has happened has been something very bad, and I think that in relation to the most recent, FTX, we have not yet seen the aftermath of the bankruptcy of this company, but it is important to note that, it is a company that went bankrupt, a 100% centralized one, and that by mismanagement of funds has been left in the situation in which it is.
But if we analyze well, certainly, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, etc, have dropped considerably in price, but have not failed, transactions are still possible between people who keep in Wallets Cold or hot, but they are the ones who own their funds, in these cases, there has been no problem.
What I point out is that what has failed has been the centralized, those entities that function as traditional central banks, which are able to Blockchain your funds and use them in what they want, that really is what failed, not the Blockchain itself.
The DeFi system is still working, of course, this does not depend entirely on human beings once it is already designed and running, the system itself is responsible for doing what it should, automatically and "decentralized". Rather, I believe that these things that are happening give us a clear example of the importance of why BTC arose, and it was precisely to avoid centralization, to give people the power to manage their money, the problem is that this is not fully understood.
This is a personal opinion, of course, you may agree, or maybe not. Anyway, thank you very much for reading my post. Have a nice weekend.
Keep connecting with others and continue doing real engagement.

Hi @josevas217
This will be short comment. I only want to point out, that within crypto space people keep praising 'decentralization' and complaining about centralization. But both have their own pros and cons.
To say that decentralization didn't fail us is also ... not really true. Decentralization (unfortunatelly) = lack of responsibility, lack of accountability.
In centralized systems there is always someone to blame, someone responsible for things. In decentralized systems, people (usually large stakeholders) who make decisions will never be forced to take responsibility for their wrong actions and mistakes.
And that is a huge problem.
Am I making sense?
That is why I never hold any crypto in centralized wallet. Trading with centralized exchange is still okay but i believe that no hold your extra fund in centralized exchange because there is anything can happen because the person who is handling can do anything with our fund.
