DeFi protocols promised a revolution, right? But here I am scrolling through Twitter and seeing everyone freak out about that Curve Finance exploit. Like, how did we get here? ETH's holding at $1,600 but feels shaky, maybe? And those NFT rug pulls aren’t helping my confidence. Are we still in the era of trustless trust or just too trusting? CZ tweeted something about resilience, but how resilient can we be? I saw an analyst saying the DeFi total value locked is down, and I’m like, “what happens if it keeps dropping?” Maybe it’s just a bump, but then again, what if it’s a turning point? Keep hearing whispers about regulation crackdowns too—what’s that gonna mean for this ‘revolution’?
