Welcome to @balajis.eth!

He’s kindly agreed to do an AMA. Reply with your questions. :)

It feels like some of the momentum of the "let's explore alternatives to SF" movement has weakened since 2021, with AI and "back to the office" mandates contributing to re-centralization. What are your updated thoughts on how we can cleave apart that network effect to create more practical freedom of location?

Quick answer: I think we’re still on track for at least three poles of technology (what I called NYT, CCP, BTC) plus a decentralized center that combines them.

Why? Because (a) crypto has globally decentralized and that has accelerated since 2021 + (b) AI executive order incentivizes decentralization + (more)

and (c) I think more shoes are yet to drop in terms of US regs/economy.

For example: ban on self driving cars in SF/CA shows that they will push more tech back into the garage.

We wil see whether a small group of tech guys in the bluest city will be allowed to make billions by disrupting many blue jobs with AI…

What is your plan to keep crypto decentralized? It seems that governments contributing is a big risk in near future for crypto frredom
