In this video, I discuss another example of why DeFi (Decentralized Finance) is "decentralized in name only" (DINO).
MakerDAO and DAI began as a clever idea for an algorithmic stablecoin, but they have become increasingly captured both by insiders, as well as by regulated institutions like Circle and Coinbase.
As more and more of the collateral behind DAI is regulated, centralized stablecoins like USDC, it becomes increasingly easy to freeze the underlying collateral and cause liquidations across DeFi Land.
What's even more laughable is that some of this USDC collateral is now being parked at Coinbase, thus adding in another regulated actor that can mess with DAI's collateral.
There's only one credible neutral foundation for Decentralized Finance, and that is Bitcoin.
Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.
