I does look like we need to finally drop the idealist stance that decentralization is inherently "good". And that everything that positions itself as decentralized is, in fact, decentralized.
Hive can only be a truly decentralized (anarchist) entity if—and only if—some central authority decides to make it so. Paradoxically. Isn't that right?
Thank you for your thoughts on this topic.
The idealist inherently good mindset mitigates the idea that we are still operating within a pyramidal power structure which is representative of much of what is wrong with the real world, and is the fear of biting into the pig in the middle which keeps people quiet.
Seems that way yeah :/
the "problem" is TOKEN DISTRIBUTION.
(IFF) 20 accounts control 51% of the active votes (THEN) decentralization is dead (which is fine, just stop pretending)
however,
if someone can place a witness within the top 20, it can block any NEW changes to the blockchain.
generally, people shouldn't be able to constantly change the rules in their own favor - the top 20 can freeze and or outright steal accounts at will.
