I just finished watching this, it's excellent. It's a much simpler and more cogent counter argument to people's idealogical interest in decentralization from Moxie of Signal. Really worth watching in the context of privacy, decentralized internet services as well as clear thinking about product and the future.
- inciampati 7y agoIt's interesting that the things he says are bad aspects of decentralization (that protocols become fixed) are precisely the reasons that people want decentralization. No single actor can shift the protocol out from under a distributed system. That makes it something that can be trusted.
- rogerkirkness 7y agoBut for the reasons he's saying, it's very unlikely that will win, everything starts decentralized going from 0 to 1 protocol wise, and then shifts to centralization for UX.
