He also made sure to explain the fact that even though he believes centralized crypto protocols will eventually be outdone by decentralized ones, he still believes in a future where they can co-exist.

He believes this as many people will still prefer the conventional methods of accessing their accounts.

“I think it would take a long time for the centralized exchanges to go to zero, but I think it will take five [or] 10 years [before] DeFi is going to be bigger than centralized ones, but the centralized ones will continue to play a role for many decades to come.”

He continued and said the following:
