> and I'm at a point in my life where I avoid that at all costs. I can only talk about my preferences about the world, not about how things ought to be, implying some sort of inherent value or divine moral good. It sounds like you are scratching your own itch, which more often than not, is cited here on HN as a leading strategy for building new projects. I tend to agree with your viewpoint on decentralization as a value-add versus a core feature. For instance, some companies may be adopting DLT databases because it eloquently solves a problem for them, but not so they can market the project as "blockchain". Best of luck!
