I really hope that DeFi and it's inevitable future of having to deal with these kind of "problems" will finally make people understand why it is a bad idea to build decentralized systems that try to establish a shared perception of time among all nodes.
It doesn't just severely limit scalability but it also creates these really tricky problems where even if you build a system that is "secure" and where the participants are incentivized to behave "honest", it ultimately doesn't matter because at the end of the day every ...
