Even Chris Blec\u2019s biggest supporters acknowledge he can be as subtle as a sledgehammer when he\u2019s pushing for transparency from DeFi projects on Twitter.<\/b><\/p>\n
The founder of DeFi Watch puts noses out of joint across the industry \u2014 whether he\u2019s hammering Polygon for putting billions in the hands of two developers with admin keys or criticizing Rari Capital for being run by teenagers.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s exactly the kind of provocateur asking the sort of difficult questions those in power would love to see silenced. But in crypto, that\u2019s not possible \u2014 and that\u2019s why he loves it.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn a decentralized community, I feel like I\u2019ve sort of found my groove a little bit, mostly because I can\u2019t be turned off,\u201d he laughs. \u201cThat\u2019s why I\u2019m drawn to crypto. Because I do think the day will come when, you know, when banks censor people if they violate norms, or if they don\u2019t comply with social standards. And I\u2019ll be first in line for that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI promise you, if DeFi projects had a way today to censor people based on their political beliefs, there would be at least one doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n
As it happens, a recent Uniswap proposal<\/a> was put forward to raise $50 million to bribe the 45-year-old to leave DeFi altogether. It emerged from a Twitter thread, in which industry luminaries, including DeFi Pulse co-founder Scott Lewis, MyCrypto\u2019s Taylor Monahan and ChainLinkGod, variously accused him of being right-wing, dead wrong and of not acting in good faith.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Popular opinion: Chris Blec sucks. <\/p>\n He\u2019s right but he has a shit poor way of showcasing his opinion. <\/p>\n I\u2019m tired of the constant complaints. <\/p>\n You\u2019d think maybe he would shut up and found something.<\/p>\n — \u2728 \u1559\u0f3c\u0e88\u0644\u035c\u0e88\u0f3d\u1557 \u2728 \ud83d\udd25 \ud83d\udd25 \ud83d\udd25 \ud83d\udd25 \ud83d\udd25 \ud83e\udd87 \ud83d\udd0a \ud83d\udd25 \ud83d\udd25 \ud83d\udd25 \ud83d\udd25 \ud83d\udd25 (@androolloyd) May 29, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
