> Many people on HN silently downvote anything that has to do with crypto and decentralization.
I primarily downvote them because I haven't seen anything come out of that space that seems like it's remotely capable of actually achieving decentralization (for which I also see a dire need in today's structure of the Internet and the applications running on it).
95% of the time, these things are built as a Potemkin village of technical decentralization backed up by complete administrative centralization, with the path to actual decentralization "very high on our public roadmap available here, we promise!!!"
