Cathie Wood sees a revolution. What I find instead is an unsustainable house of cards built on sand. Ark Invest applauds the ostensible disruption of Decentralized Finance (DeFi). I see a much more dangerous mirage on the horizon. Ahead lies a tempting promise of fortune that would land us straight...
