## Quote — verbatim

> Decentralized finance needs decentralized infrastructure... The notion that you're using a centralized infrastructure is just horrible... Today we have an uncertain regulatory climate that's very hostile to anything DeFi and crypto, and the only way to really battle that is to offload liability from the protocol developers to the community — I call it offloading liability from the corporate to the common, because there is no escape from being a corporate: you will get approached, you will get censored, and you will get silenced. And it's already starting to happen. I think we're going to see quite a bit of that transition from the corporate to the common.
