DeFi is still more like a failed experiment, 80% of DeFi projects are unreliable, they have weak security and they are more hack friendly, they claim to be decentralized but instead they aren't showing any decentralized motives, the only DeFi projects I trust are not up to five and I choose those DeFi projects because they are more than just DeFi like many new DeFi projects so far, I don't care much about where DeFi is headed, I'm just going to keep picking the good eggs out from the bad eggs, hopeful in future DeFi projects will actually become fully decentralized and more secured
If we have 1% of all DEFI projects become successful then I am very fine with that and this would mean a huge success, there is no way you would expect all these projects to succeed, even in the real world the failure rate of companies after 3 years is like 60%. I think people need to see the positive of DEFI more than the negative. Just look at projects like Uniswap and Aave, if these to projects end up being a huge success they will be value in the range of Bank of America
