Presses the button - there's a Vitalik blog for that. Please spend 2 mins and read that first section of that post The core value of a blockchain is that users collectively enforce the rules. They are the final line of defense against collusion and capture Without that you’re not decentralized. You’re just a worse version of a server https://vitalik.eth.limo/general/2021/05/23/scaling.html

WWIII resistant chain is useless if people can't use it pre-WWIII come down from your ivory tower and realize where you've taken us with your extreme ideals

It’s not about being WWIII resistant. It’s about being resistant to **literally any collusion** that’s the whole point of a blockchain “The elites of your blockchain community, including pools, block explorers and hosted nodes, are probably quite well-coordinated… If they really want to organize a sudden change to the protocol rules to further their own interests, then they probably can” If users can’t enforce the rules might as well just use AWS, instant blocktimes and cheap fees

drop the whole 'just use AWS' strawman and the fallacious appeal to extreme bullshit if you are refusing to admit there's a whole fucking field of useful stuff between your **any collusion** ideals and AWS then you are either being bad faith or in the better case, are actually detached from what the devs and the users want

The point isn’t that there’s no middle ground. It’s that once you give up on user verification, you remove the last check on centralized power

by insisting y'all's, ivory tower, non-user-centric ideals you've made the thing useless the average use can't use L1 they're forced to go on base where it is quite literally one single entity by insisting on your purity standards, you've forced everyone to live in a version of the shitter that you've always been worried about
