Yet DeFi doesn't really help at all imo. I wish all this energy went into making the system we have better, instead of trying to replace it with DeFi.
I do this on sites that support it. Spinning up a burner wallet for a site is easier than spinning up a burner gmail or temporary account.
Is privacy really just a moral benefit? Though I admit that it definitely isn't a benefit that the mainstream cares about, which is unfortunate
Yes, but in this post I really mean "banking". As someone born in a rural area in a 3rd world country, I've seen how people struggle to interact successfully with the banking system. To this day, my documents are a mess but are finally in order enough.
I would love for the promises of DeFi to happen. Cheaply send remittances to my relatives? No more navigating KYC laws that always want the particular document I don't have, and not worry about PayPal just randomly shutting off my account and taking my money?
But DeFi doesn't really do this imo. As I put it in the post, it's like trying to solve loneliness with Omegle. It makes sense kinda but just isn't the right path forward.
