Yes I have heard a lot about Defi and in as much as many will think it has a revolutionary idea, I however think that it needs more work and growth to be a seen as a revolutionary ecosystem. Sometimes, what's happening in Defi projects has also being seen in the ICO projects, wherein there were a lot of exit scam and nowadays, a good number of them are being hacked. Also, about disrupting the already existing financial system; I think it will be difficult to be achieved because only few of them are really working towards it, others are just for hype, and some are not secure enough hence the hacks witnessed within them.
Nevertheless, irrespective of the unfriendly experiences in DeFi, it is also good to know that just like the ICO era, it also brought a lot of attention to the crypto space hence if more work is done by the few good DeFi projects, a new rate of growth will be experienced.
If you will study DeFi platform, they really do have good mission.
But since it is proliferated by scammers, this platform becomes a headache for most investors.
If they will truly implement the goals of DeFi, I believe a lot of users will get benefit from it.
But sadly, only few of them have legit intentions. And it is hard to tell at the early stages of the project.
Usually, it is in the end phase of the project that you know they are about to abandon or run away.
