FWIW your "decentralize until it hurts, then centralize until it works" is one of my favorite slogans, and I appreciate y'all making the effort.

It's nice to hear that someone cares about this. I feel like a lunatic howling at the moon. We think decentralization (actual decentralization) is a good thing, but it would be so easy to just run a cloud silo. Everything becomes totally straightforward and simple.

I also hate the way scammy cryptocurrency shonk has sucked all the air out of the room on this topic, especially since most of "web3" is not even decentralized. Most of it goes through a few companies' centralized hubs. Total hot air. I'm thinking about trying to coin a new term for actual decentralization.

  • You might be into howling at moonshots, but when it’s dark outside you need a true luminary to reflect any light back to the rest of us. Many thanks for your continued lunacy.
