Ethereum

lore @optimism  | ex: @coinbase & crypto twitter | views are my own 

side note: also falls into my definition of decentralization which is: 

“decentralization is the ability to enter or exit any system without losing yourself or your assets”

lore @optimism | ex: @coinbase | views are my own | what if it all worked out? 

It does ensures that power and control are distributed among participants, reducing the risk of single points of failure and promoting resilience and inclusivity within systems.

I think the lack of center that the word implies has more to do with the absence of gatekeepers and a hierarchical order than with its permissionless nature, which derives from this lack of a vortex.

as digital and physical lines blur it’ll grow even more important

It’s nice to see such alignment on the concept that at its core, crypto should enable more control over our participation and protection in digital spaces.

yes immutability and resistance to 51% attacks on the base layer on where the principle of decentralization is maximally preserved are very important so that rules can’t change

i think theres an additional part which is, the ability cant be taken away

for example - substack lets you export your subscriber list. you theoretically can "exit this system without losing your assets"

BUT substack can also just turn off that feature at any point, they are still "centralized"
