Very interesting perspective. The only hiccup I see is the devil that lives in the details for end-users. DeFi protocols are only as secure as the smartcontracts their made of. Very few "users" have the technical capability to understand the code well enough to determine if it is securely written. In other words, a user might say, "I understand the theory of this DeFi product, but can I trust this particular protocol was written in a secure and honest way-- without any backdoors or exit scams" As a non-developer end-user, I would still need to be able to trust the protocol the same way I trust my bank. Because of this, trust may still be a relevant differentiator even in DeFi. Or am I missing something or is there a way for this to be overcome? Keep it up, Andy!
