Opinion: Decentralized Finance Lovers Run To Centralized Government When They Get Ripped Off

The Globe and Mail

“If the users of cryptocurrencies want those currencies to be accepted as real money, they will have to accept government oversight and regulation. Doing so would rather ruin the founding philosophy of decentralized currencies, but their users can’t have it both ways. They can’t demand to operate without government interference and yet demand it when things don’t go their way.”

PLY: Spot on, the DeFi concept is ill-considered, naive, immature and downright brazen in the face of thousands of years of centralised legal process…and as soon as something goes wrong the vast number of activists for such process demand the government must do something!*

*Rather reminiscent to the many who troughed funds from the government to bail out their lifestyles as opposed to their businesses when Covid first hit.
