The attention of 'Web3/Crypto' has been overly consumed by zero-sum games. While trial and error is an inevitable path to innovation, and DeFi has indeed proven the value of smart contracts, it's even more important to trace everything back to its roots. Don't forget, Crypto comes from Cryptography, and the spirit of Bitcoin originates from Cypherpunk. Open source, privacy, freedom, and censorship resistance—these are the foundations of this entire structure. Only by truly achieving these can DeFi (and more potential use cases) become solid and reliable.
