DeFi really hits different, doesn't it? The "D" in DeFi—decentralization—that's where the real power lives. It strips away the single point of failure that centralized finance depends on. One decision from a central authority can tank everything in traditional finance. That's exactly where things fall apart. With DeFi, decisions are distributed, transparent, and immutable. No shadowy committee calling the shots. Try running a major financial decision through a decentralized protocol instead—notice how the risk profile completely changes. That's the fundamental shift happening right now.
