Decentralization matters to a few enthusiasts. Those enthusiasts include the developers of the technology. So the point of these technologies is decentralization, but the "users" of the technologies don't actually care and are hoping to speculate their way to lambo riches. (I put "users" in quotes since there are actually very few true "users", and I'm really just describing people who trade cryptos on exchanges.)
- wuliwong 8y agoMy belief is that the recent corporate censorship by large internet companies has created a growing interest in decentralization by some non-technical people. I don't think it is a slam dunk but I do think that currently there is a much greater chance for decentralized applications to gain traction. That being said, I think this new crop of potential users could also buy into new companies that have a centralized architecture but simply market themselves as having an ethos of non-censorship.
