Decentralization eliminates control, but it needs to be incentivized. Here's how. 👇

3/ Blockchain technology is a rocketship though — it can help us escape gravity, at scale.

Many have already demonstrated this — anyone can own, act, and build permissionlessly, without gatekeepers.

But even though it's now possible, decentralization isn’t inevitable.

4/ Incentives matter.

The costs of decentralization are extreme — it requires giving up control, diluting ownership, and inviting competition.

Without proper incentives, fake decentralization thrives while true decentralization struggles.

5/ Regulation is how we can and should level the playing field — rewarding those that reduce risk by giving up control, while holding centralized systems using blockchain technology to merely obfuscate control accountable.

2/ Decentralization isn’t easy.

Centralized systems are efficient, coordinated, and fast-moving. They’ve dominated.

By comparison, decentralization is inefficient and comes with immense costs.

Centralization is like gravity, and it’s hard to overcome the natural order.

It’s one big piece of the puzzle. Think its potential will be unlocked this year.

How far along is the DUNA structuring going to help this?  How much further would you like to see it go?

nice write up! more and more the centralization/decentralization tech discussions make me think of systems of government.
