What do you think, are we looking at a passing fad, something that gets "re-branded or re-invented" after the hacks settle down, and/or is DeFi currently on a path to keep getting stronger?
Defi wouldnt die since its become one of the foundation of altcoins. You may seem it dying but thats just because of the bear scenario. Different protocols have lost or been gone due significant factors like, lack of users, funds and even due to breach of some hackers and exploits of their codes. But there are bigger projects operates on defi and keeps building. Its just one way or another defi would definitely go back again with a bigger purpose I suppose.
