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

governance is another centralizing tool blockchain can be decentralized, trustless, censorship resistant, its the governance model that is broken that is a problem along the lines of effective co-ordination, incentive layers, game theory and the tragedy of the commons the CHANCE of crypto solving this, is valuable

Show me one democracy where plutocracy hasn't taken over. What you describe is not a blockchain specific problem, it's an everything problem.
