had a pretty big crash-out yesterday after the Drift exploit, small rant: > this moment you realize that in 2026, 6 years after DeFi Summer, 4 years after Terra collapse - you still have a $45B chain almost killed by an exploit like almost everyone farming on Solana had exposure to this, the same way Resolv nuked lots of vaults across ETH 1 week ago i feel like the party truly is over i still farmed protocols, still had fun trying new shit: 'oh a cool new defi vault, might get an airdrop for it' turns out we're the last exit liquidity of this industry; hacks happen almost daily these days - and protocols gave up on compensation plans "private key compromised," yeah right :) idk whats happening down there, if those guys have the opsec of a fucking children, if it's an insider job, if it's lazarus or whatever anyway, i've tried to reallocate my positions in a safer way. and realized nothing that has been built for the past 5 years in defi is adding any value. top 5 morpho vaults are just coinbase & paypal DAI / Sky is now a t-bill wrapper managed off-chain. 90% of the L2s are absolutely not decentralized so you basically get all the downsides of onchain (hacks, private key leak, chain dead, etc etc) without having any upside. you must be a fucking moron to use DeFi in 2026 i've tried using some CEX again, first time in 4 year. most of them have a really great security system. i feel safe using them. Binance have a face ID test when you try to withdraw funds; i think thats fucking wonderful meanwhile onchain, you need an army of AI agent every day that monitors exploits to see if you are safe from interacting ah, axios got pwned ? no crypto for me today is this URL the correct one ? will this transaction blow-up my wallet ? arf i forgot to disapprove this contract. i'm tired seeing ppl getting hacked on my TL sorry; dont have a good ending to this rant i'm thankful for aave, uniswap, maybe ethena, to have built something wonderful i'd love to get an understand; from someone involved in the defi ecosystem; what improved since 2020. maybe we were too idealistic? maybe being able to freeze an asset is actually good for our industry? why are there still no guardrails on moving $200M out of a protocol in one hour? or maybe not idealistic enough? but then why is aave on eth the only protocol i can park my usdc (:>) for 1 year & not be scared? ethereum was a cool experiment but every 'institution' is building his own chain / tokens that have guardrails built-in. so who are ethereum users exactly? maybe we are doomed to be the exit liquidity of north korea, idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
