Lately, I’ve been reflecting on an ongoing discussion I've been having about Warpcast's direction and its appeal—or lack thereof—to visual artists. What strikes me is that many of the artists leaving aren’t new to crypto culture or Web3. They’re experienced creators, fully immersed in the space, and their departure signals a deeper issue: a misalignment between what Warpcast offers and what these creatives need.

Thank you for inviting me to speak today.1 I have participated in this conference for nearly 20 years and have often presented my research on monetary theory, banking, and payments. So, I believe this is the right audience to speak to regarding the role of centralized finance and the emergence of decentralized finance, or defi for short. Over the past few years, there has been a lot of attention and work on defi, which will be a major focus of my remarks. Many argue that defi will replace traditional centralized finance while others argue that it merely extends traditional finance methods and trading activities onto new platforms. It is in this sense that I want to address the question of whether centralized finance and defi are substitutes or complements to each other.
