Blockchains are just another centralizing tool, with the default outcome significantly worse than traditional incumbents - removing all the democratic checks and balances, replacing them with grotesque plutocratic control It takes significant will and effort for a blockchain to realise its decentralizing potential

Really enjoy reading your thoughts but i struggle to see where you provide solutions or best practices on how to solve problems rather than just being hypercritical of the experimentation happening in a still very emergent tech space

I don't think I agree with this take. We should be hypercritical while we are building. If we wait until everything is built, that's too late. Even if people don't have the answer, they should speak up. Crypto has a genuine lack of knowledgeable critics compared to intentionally blind fans.

That’s totally fair. I’m not saying we shouldn’t be hypercritical. I think that there needs to a balance of constructive criticism especially from knowledgeable critics like @polynya Agree that there’s a genuine lack of knowledgeable critics in crypto unfortunately
