> It's similar to AWS where it got exponentially more valuable as each new service was added
But... I have yet to see a service which really adds value. All I've seen so far are:
A) collection games, which are not different from collecting Pokémon for real money.
B) liquidity PvP, where users open leveraged bets to hunt other market participants' stops/liquidations, so the hunter can reduce their position for cheap, which the hunted takes a loss (this is not different from tradfi).
I am looking at Aave right now, and all I see is a speculation platform with tokens instead of currencies. So basically, you guys are re-inventing what tradfi had years ago, just with worthless(?) tokens instead of debt backed assets. I am assuming they are worthless because every project you have mentioned is optimized for USD cash inflow, as you have "buy crypto with fiat"-buttons on almost every project[1][2][3], but no way to cash out to fiat. Furthermore, the staking feature from AAVE seems to only artificially decrease supply, so prices rise. What's the value proposition here?
Anyway, I don't really think that this stuff is even remotely comparable to AWS.

Uniswap alone clears this amount. Part of the power of decentralized exchanges is that every trade is logged and publicly available, which is not something you can claim for their centralized counterparts.
