Many of us have been around crypto for a long time (meaning since 2010-2011) and have not seen any progress in positive terms.

Most of crypto growth has been pure speculation/ crypto2crytpo related services/morally questionable uses.

Positives * ...

Sort of positive/sort of negative:

Evading capital controls

Being your own bank..

Big Negatives:

* POW energy use - huge one

* POS stakeholder issue

* Hard to use for Joe Sixpack

* Promotes speculation for speculation's sake(I'd say 90%+)

* Instead of Central Reserve Bank you have very shady stablecoins run by select few individuals - ahem Tether and not only Tether

Maybe someone can educate me on benefits of DeFi for a regular human being?
