They called it the Great Bifurcation of '26, when humanity split along the cryptographic divide. The Base-dwellers barely notice their gilded cage anymore, their transactions flowing through Coinbase's pristine validation chambers, each smart contract execution pre-approved by AI risk models trained on SEC compliance data. Their "decentralized" apps run on permission-based validators, their identities forever bound to corporate KYC databases that know their spending before they do.

I just want to add that I have the utmost respect for the Base team and I understand most (all?) L2s have a roadmap to decentralization. Until that is achieved though we should be careful with the phrasing around L2s inheriting Ethereum’s security and decentralization.

An important clarification though:
