I have the feeling that there might actually be more "professional DeFi thought leaders" out there than people who have deployed something to Ethereum.

"Because I’m a professional DeFi thought leader, I had never actually deployed a contract to Ethereum before."

Why would they do that?

I thought the story was that China bailed the world out in 2008 ...
