I think the next set of companies will become more smarter in their vesting terms.

Just think about it, if these data point of selling claims get be bought to on-chain then I am sure people and next set of companies will not borrow some such investors.

because of this particular reason I feel DeFi will replace traditional finance first before any other form of crypto companies takes.

A recent IMF admitted that DeFi is 10x efficient than TradFi.I am sure once DeFi get a bit regulated and has better risk management principal embedded into code the system will become more efficient

I also see the recent housing crackdown and loss of money for common people playing an important role of smart contract lead world for the financial safety of the larger population. People are losing trust way faster than they are able to change systems

Do you have the source for this?

For the efficiency part. To be fair, traditional finance as an industry operates as a super inefficient, regulatory-captured pyramid scheme. Shouldn’t be too hard to beat.

They're dense. They don't get it at all.

The "super inefficient, regulatory-captured" part is a feature, not a bug. We want transactions to be reasonably slow and checked by a human somewhere along the way. We want a myriad legal protections.

"pyramid scheme", that's rich, coming from cryptocurrency companies.

All the naive investors who keep making investments in crypto will lose their money, like they have on current round of failing crypto 'banks'. It's both the fact that existing finance is hard to access for poor people, and it's got a lot of regulation that can protect them, and it can cost more, and there are still terrible legal investments (payday loans). But it provides way more protection than defi, which provides none.

With all the large firms (crashing daily) that provided impossible ~19% returns still trying to attract new investors, there's just no defense of the 'industry'.

Oh, yeah? Here's the document: https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/fintech-notes/Issues/202...

Where does it say that?

It doesn't say that, because it isn't true.

You continue to reinforce the idea that cryptocurrency advocates deliberately make up false statements.

check : https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/GFSR/Issues/2022/04/19/g... chapter 3 point 4 in summary.

It doesn't do anything useful so the 10x really is meaningless if it was ever claimed by anyone in the first place.

For example you need to have locked $400 of some token for a "loan" of $100. How is this efficient?

Today the securities are on paper and not linked to each other.

if just making them on-chain improves the provability that an asset is not getting leverage multiple time in an ecosystem

You can trade Bitcoin on an exchange that never handles Bitcoin. Synthetic securities can always be constructed regardless of how the original securities are represented. In this sense blockchain isn't much better than og paper shares
