Then again, maybe the goal isn't to be #1 in DeFi.

What do you folks think a Bitcoin DeFi network would look like? Do you think we would see anything
truly unique?
He probably has not experienced how defi actually looks. If crypto is a terrible, scammy space,,, full of speculators and wannabes,,, defi is where the worst of them go to. Nobody cares about adoption or utility or whatever nice things decentralized finance is supposed to do. It is just pure profit and who gets out first.
