DeFi Crash Scene: Aave Wants Money, Bitcoin Wants the Future!
This wave of Aave lawsuits is very much like an internet entrepreneur suddenly saying, "I'm going to court."
It sounds a bit awkward, but it's very real.
The original vision of DeFi was: trustless, no intermediaries. But the reality is: when problems arise, you still have to find someone to solve them.
At this point, Bitcoin appears especially "zen."
Adam Barker's logic is simple:
The underlying infrastructure of future economies doesn't need complex features, only consensus.
BTC's consensus is "it is value," while ETH's consensus is "it can do many things."
The latter sounds more powerful, but the problem is—more things mean more risks.
The 73 million frozen in Aave is the price of risk.
Which will the market ultimately choose?
The answer might be quite realistic:
Use ETH for daily transactions, store money in BTC.
Just like you use Alipay for shopping, but still keep savings in a bank.
