defi/spot is in a much healthier place than cefi. when you're hodling, there's nothing that can liquidate you. when you're using a defi protocol, you capture all the upside for the…

- btc is not a scam - eth is not a scam - uniswap is not a scam - usdc is not a scam - aave is not a scam

radical idea- cex balances should be public and linked to deposit and withdrawal addresses
