as SBF himself allowed in the Bloomberg interview, this system only works if humans, driven by FOMO and greed, bid up the tokens. that, more than the technology underpinning the system, is a necessary condition for defi or centralized crypto to "work."

defi is rife with hacks theft and rug pulls. but a form of fraud that is built into the entire ecosystem are tokenomics that carve out allocations of tokens to early holders, so they front run every one else.

this cannot be escaped - there is no refuge from the grift built in to the entire ecosystem. decentralized is a lie propagated to support a scam on everyone who got in later than early holders.
