Not meaning to throw shade at any other chain, but this is why I’m a long-term believer in the tech behind Ethereum

As Jason observed, less decentralized chains can still be valuable. But an important question is: why? If we better understood that question and its answer, then we'd be better at marketing our own high level of decentralization for having clarified its opportunity cost.

Genuine question: If we assume that businesses providing valuable services and products to users is what will increase user adoption then why would a regular business care about decentralization except for disintermediation? What is the real value proposition of building on a "decentralized stack"?

There are great answers to these questions, but I've found the community to be genuinely unreceptive to them. The only reason I'd claim to "know better" is that I came from a serendipitously cross-functional background and spent four years as a hardcore app layer researcher. Most others have been focused on infra.

Would you be open to discussing this topic further? I would like to know more. Is anybody else interested? If so, let me know, please.

Find any Ethereum personality- the kind of people who set the overton window around here- and ask them why decentralization is important- a question they'll love to answer- and then ask them why BSC and Tron are so successful, and watch them ramble and flounder. Then go figure out why BSC and Tron are so successful.

@artlu
why BSC and Tron? is it because the US can't freeze USDT like it can USDC? and a layer above, is it because these companies have been first movers/competitive in non-Western aligned countries?
