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.

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?
