Its very exciting times in crypto. From bull runs to bearish long term trends, it seems like crypto is doing what it was made for. But in a decentralized world could everything be perfect? No, and we know this.
If FTX was a true leader we as retail and professionals traders or Hodler's would have a sense of doubt. Its just human nature. We would have no choice if platforms were like central banks and we had no choices with our assets.
With Defi and new protocols coming up it does make us trust more as protocols use smart contracts to hold and invest user funds. But again nothing is perfect.
What we need ultimately is more research and less mis-information. Less hype and more education. If Steem has a word of mouth mechanisim which is 90% of the platform (thank God) we can help bring ideas into fruitation and pass our ideas to the Devs in a timely non bias fashion.
This in turn would lessen the risk in what were interacting with. This is more than just blogging and using Dapps this is true power put into the hands of the people.
Let me know if you agree that the future holds whatever we manifest. Its that simple!! We all have a say when it comes to crypto assets and Steemit is the gateway!!
