IMO DeFi is 🔑 to crypto, but is best as (abstracted) infrastructure vs being consumer facing.
Consumer focused teams will build awesome products on top of DeFi & totally blow away more centralized infra 🫡

In the aftermath of major CEX meltdowns, we observe major flow to non-custodial crypto/DEX.
However, memories are short & we forget the fundamentals in bull cycles.

Ethereum MEV $ is ~1% of daily block rewards (subsidies). With eth2, subsidies drop 90% & MEV becomes 10% of the bounty & likely to grow with network usage.
Txn fees can also drop, w/ validators still incentivised via MEV. Less fees & MEV won’t seem as value extractive🔥

Lower crypto prices mean only the most efficient Lenders, Staking as a Service and Mining operators etc survive. Survivors then earn an outsized share of the pie (e.g. lower difficulty). Same dynamic as any other economic downturn? Same likely true for funds. All is well.
