The skiff situation is a good reminder of why decentralized ecosystems are so valuable.

Challenge question @dwr.eth @v : how far along is Farcaster in this regard? If hypothetically your team got acquihired by Facebook (or Tencent, or...) tomorrow, how well would the ecosystem be able to keep going?

assume malicious acquirer. for ecosystem to survive intact would need: 

1. decentralized contracts
2. decentralized hub network 
3. easy to use client with 80% warpcast parity
4. good steward for protocol governance.

It's all about #4, I've yet to see a strong success story?
