Charlie Lee criticizes Decentralized Finance
Recently, Litecoin founder Charlie Lee criticized Decentralized Finance (DeFi) for being “just decentralization theater.” However, not everybody agreed with Lee’s comments. Some argued that Lee was just looking for an opportunity to criticize a new cryptocurrency capitalizing on an opportunity Litecoin missed. Others were quick to criticize Litecoin.
This is why I don’t believe in DeFi. It’s the worst of both worlds. Most DeFi can be shut down by a centralized party, so it’s just decentralization theatre. And yet no one can undo a hack or exploit unless we add more centralization.
So how is this better than what we have now? https://t.co/F1HMSeqb6q

Lee’s comments come as a result of the recent controversy surrounding the decentralized lending platform, Fulcrum. The firm was forced to freeze its contrast after an exploit resulted in a portion of the decentralized apps (dApps) Ethereum being lost.
